146 Professional

Well on the 146 at the moment it's the opposite - the nose is pitching up on landing and it is quite difficult to maintain control until the nosewheel is on the ground.

@jmarkows Somewhere, someone from Just Flight mentioned that all the 3d objects in the analog 146 uses alot of system resources in VR and that the flat panel glass of the RJ would give them more headroom.

That helps a lot thanks Mark

I'm flight testing the new FBW A380 now and will be updating the performance and flex shortly. As soon as the Avro's are out I will add them, and tweak the spreadsheet and then issue an update. Glad you are getting some benefit from it. I can't wait for the Avro's, the previews look superb.

The v2.3 (0.2.3) has just been released for our customers and should fix the EFB issues. That will be available on other stores, including the MSFS Marketplace, sometime in the next few days.

The 146 Electronic Engine Display (two fitted side by side) are the same as that of the RJ. The Pilot Flight Display (PFD) and the Navigation Display(ND) fitted to many 146-300 and late 146-200 types/variants as standard are not the same as those fitted to the RJ. The 146 aircraft retain the standard Altimeter and ASI\Mach meter fit and standby horizon.

The PFDs and NDs require Signal Generators (SGs) and various failure warning lights/switches as well as additional selector panels for each pilot. They work well and are integrated with the normal GNS-XL/XLS/XLS Enhanced, as well as radar display, wind shear. wind arm information, and some TCAS information, and provided pilots with a nice plan view of the route etc.

There is, or was, a modification available that replaced the electromechanical HSI type display and the electromechanical FD with flat screens. These were called FPIs. The manufacturer sold these under the pretext that it would lower maintenance costs for aircraft operators. With this fit was a requirement for switch panels, warning lights etc, etc.

Hope that helps.

Thanks @Derek, absolutely agree with the shortcomings of YouTube's audio compression. I'm an audio engineer (music, not planes :)) by trade, so critical listening is part and parcel of what I do.

However, I would add, that I am not debating the subjective quality of the sounds, I am querying the objective accuracy - as I cannot hear the distinctive LPF being applied with TAS as per my original post. It is the same in the current build of the 146, and in my opinion (as someone who is passionate about audio) is the one thing that I'm not a fan of in the product.

Thank you! Yes, understood - I'm just trying to figure out what I can't do because I don't know how to do it Vs the aircraft doesn't support it.
Edit: just to confirm, these two functions are in the maneuver menu, pvor and sxtk. Unfortunately both are disabled in the justflight 146. Maybe for a future update! :)

Oh no, I really should wear my glasses next time... Thank you !!

That's excellent Mark, thank you. Great answer above and noted, but it occurs even at low speeds/alts and with YD on, and the FD sways around with it. Obviously a bug of some kind and great to hear it will be sorted. Looking forward to the RJ a lot.

Issues with throttles 1 and 2 not moving in the 146 Professional are typically caused by a control assignment conflict, but this can depend on which external hardware you are using.

We have the following FAQ which covers a solution for this issue: https://support.justflight.com/en/support/solutions/articles/17000129923-honeycomb-bravo-thrustmaster-tca-throttle-quadrant-throttle-issues

Hope that helps.

MB. Thank you. I wrote that on the Eurostar, hence a few typo mistakes, and now it’s too late to edit, but I hope it helps the JF146 community.

I think it would fit nicely between the default CL-415 and 747 Supertanker options.
If the career/missions support third-party aircraft for firefighting (I think they said generally you could use other planes in career mode when the developer add some specific meta-data to them?), that would definatley be a great addition (maybe in combination with a GNS or GTN in the 146?).
Would even pay a bit extra for those models.

Ok. Just to be clear - I love this aircraft and this is the one thing that is stopping it from being perfect in my view :)

Keep up the good work!

Thx, will try this

Apologies for an error in the above - having a senior moment between finger and brain… too late to correct as more that 3 hours elapsed since original posting.

The thrust reduction during a normal take-off follows completion of flap retraction. Acceleration from V2 +10 to progress through the flap retraction schedule usually commences from a minimum of 400 ft agl. However, thrust reduction ‘cut-off’ may commence as early as 800 ft agl during a noise abatement climb.

Hi neinnunb.

A single chime as the main wheels leave the ground does sound like a Not in Position (NIPS) alert. Given what has previously been disclosed, it certainly sounds like an air condition switch out of position.

A see that ‘A-Former-User’ hasn’t yet posted the no APU air procedure. I will do so later today.

With the battery ON and with no other power, the electrics are at the EMGY level. At EMGY level the only comms available is VHF 1. Of course it should be ON (in practice they were never selected OFF as the avionics switches did the job). At the EMGY level the avionics master switches are bypassed by contactors to power VHF 1. So VHF 1 (and switched ON)should work with just BATT ON and is correct.

With a GPU plugged in and powered (BATT OFF) only the Ground Services Bus is powered. To power the main AC Bus bars requires the EXT PWR switch on the overhead paper to be selected ON. Only then will DC 1 and AC 1 become available and other avionics available when the avionics master switches are ON.

Hope that helps.

Bugs with the bae146's throttle?

Pedantic mode. The 146 is not equipped with ‘throttles’… it does have THRUST LEVERS though.

As Mark suggests, the flight idle bulk is a bit of a movable feast. The settings are referenced to N2. There are two flight idle bulk positions; 60% and 67% N2. During approach, below 200-250ft rad alt with engine anti-ice OFF, the bulk will reduce to 60% N2. With engine anti-ice ON the bulk will be at 67% N2. Apart from when there is a DC 1 or DC 2 failure the flight idle bulk will withdraw on landing and allow the thrust lever to be retarded to ground idle. From a performance viewpoint it’s important to close the thrust levers to ground idle quickly and to select the airbrake lever through its bulk and extend the spoilers. A few early aircraft only had the 60% bulk and it was important to observe the 67% limit with engine anti-ice on.
