Will try again today…

The same for me with the King Air and Caravan. You see it in selection but the flight never fully loads.
Cheers

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I know JF is very busy with the new RJ, so I appreciate it. I'll try what you mentioned, not just for the Tomahawk, but for the BkSq mods as well.

The TFR does not have a coupled autopilot mode in the Vulcan. Once an altitude is set on the TFR height selector, the pitch attitude required to maintain that height above the terrain will be displayed by the flight director. This is how is works in the real aircraft too.

On starting the game, everything works fine. Both the GPS and VLOC guidance work and I can switch between them, manipulate the course and frequencies, etc.

But press the NAV 2 on the remote datum selector panel, and from this point onwards, the aircraft's autopilot and HSI refuse to take guidance from the GNS530 unit. Switching back to NAV 1 does not help.

The GNS530 unit itself is unaffected, and both VOR's work normally. You can even still change the frequency of the NAV 1 VOR using the Garmin unit. But no more GPS guidance until exit to main menu and load in a new plane.

Now, not necessarily a bug, but something I found interesting to note and maybe has something to do with the bug. But the Garmin exclusively seems to interact with the NAV 1 radio.

The frequencies on the Garmin's NAV radio datafield, and of the aircraft's analogue NAV 1 radio seem to mirror eachother. Changing frequency on the Garmin, changes it on the NAV 1 radio, and vice versa. Hitting the V switch key on the Garmin sets the new active frequency on the NAV 1 radio aswell.

But the NAV 2 radio is completely unaffected by anything you do on the Garmin and vice versa?

Not a bug per se, but I'm pretty curious why that happens?

Hi jmarkows. That question opens a Pandora’s box!

The phraseology and naming of approach types for the equipment has changed several times during the past 25 or so years. It doesn’t help that the USA have their own designations and that the 146 did not use the UNS 1. Normal equipment fits used to be Trimble or GNS, GNS-X, GNS Enchanted. The Universal SCN 1001.X system raised the bar by introducing certification that improved the RNAV capabilities and introduced RNP capability AND Automatic Dependent Surveillance.

I have used versions of the UNS 1 on other aircraft. As with the GNS-X it was capable of what used to be termed BRNAV - that is point to point NAV using GPS input along airways, SID, STARS. The UNS I’s that I used was also capable of VNAV approach too, but there were limitations - but don’t ask me what they were - not quite ILS limits though.

But it’s not just about the FMS type as to what the aircraft is capable of. There is also the requirement for integration and certification with the aircraft type, pilot training, and company approval.

I would suggest that the equipment would be capable ‘in simworld’ of airways, SID, STARS and possibly lateral navigation such as an overlayed VOR/NDB/LLZ approach with vertical profile flown as a continuous descent approach (CDA) using V/S mode.

BTW, you mention RVSM in passing. I think only one 146 is operated as RVSM capable. The primary reason for this that the type (apart from the above mentioned aircraft) is certified for 30,000 (original aircraft delivered to Australia is 31,000). Getting there is a struggle at high weights and temperatures! Went there a few times for the tailwinds (pre RVSM days) and I don’t think we saw more than 210 kts IAS until descent… Oh happy days.

With the release of MSFS24 tomorrow, what are the plans for the next update?
Will the update for the MSFS20 version finally be released?
Will there be a product update for the MSFS24 version?
Some clarification on this would be nice.

Thank you for the feedback. It certainly won't take too much longer for the next Hawk update. A new flight model for the Hawk has been in development since the last update with the goal of fixing all the feedback we have received. These things take time, but we would rather take the time to release the update only once we are confident the feedback we have received has been addressed.

Hi,

I have a licence problem. How can I install it for MSFS 2024 ?

Thanks for your help !

A request to the next update to replace the transponder, otherwise the fantastic plane will unfortunately have to be grounded. It is no longer possible to fly into Carlie airspace in Europe and in the USA in Class A,B,C Airspace. The transponder must be able to do Mode C and ADS-B Out. If you want it to be as realistic as possible, pay attention to something like this, would be good if that were feasible. I like the plane.
