146 Professional

@Haseen If you are starting from a cold and dark state, the VHF NAV 2 radios will need to be powered on by rotating the inner knob on the VHF NAV 2 control panel clockwise. The control panel is located on the right side of the glareshield.

With the VHF NAV 2 radios powered, the DME distance will display when an active VOR frequency has been tuned, the aircraft is in range of the VOR, and the VOR/ADF indicator on the RMI is set to VOR.

Hope that helps.

Yes, that is the behaviour I am seeing too, so it must be something specific to the YBBN arrivals in the Navdata that the UNS-1 doesn't like. This is all logged on our internal bugs tracker and the UNS-1 development team has been made aware of it, so hopefully, we should be able to get some answers and a fix implemented soon.

@piedmonitor Sadly I don't believe there is an ALT ARM control assignment in MSFS, likely due to none of the default aircraft having an altitude arm button.

We'll take a look and see if there is another control assignment we can assign to it for the next update to the 146.

@Jpol Thanks for posting the OFP. Could you let us know how the weights varied in the simulator, versus how they are listed on that OFP? Was it the same as you previously reported where the passenger weights were lower than what was listed on the OFP, but the cargo weights were higher?

Could you also let us know if this was on the second flight of a session (i.e. after a turnaround), and were you using GSX for boarding/deboarding?

I seem to recall that 29,000ft is the standard maximum altitude that the 146 with the semi-automatic pressurisation system fitted (which is what is fitted in our simulation). Certain aircraft then have a modified pressurisation system that increases their maximum altitude to 30,000ft or 31,000ft. This requires a change to the positive relief control valve's setting in the pressurisation system, which changes automatically based on the aircraft's altitude.

So I believe the correct procedure would be to select 29,000ft on the pressurisation controller, and then if the aircraft is certified for 30,000ft or 31,000ft the positive relief control valve will automatically control the pressurisation above 29,000ft.

There are then aircraft fitted with a fully automatic pressurisation system, which are cleared up to 35,000ft and that is the system we are simulating in the upcoming RJ Professional.

Hi,
I created the aircraft performance spreadsheet specifically to help me fly the 146, although I have now added a large number of other aircraft types. I'm currently working on a major update to include a lot more aircraft, but struggling with accurately replicating the correct flex temps for all the new aircraft and engine choices. The new improved version should be out in about a month.

i was about to post a screenshot over the weekend, however further issues with my install have now came up.
as soon as i enter anythng in the uns, boom ctd. this happenned twice before i tried to uninstall from windows programs/features which does not work so did a manual uninstall from community folder and redownloaded from website but got the same ctd again.in events it showed couatl had crashed and the second time msfs itself. i then set up a flight with the fenix a320 and had no issues. so at the moment i am not sure how to proceed as i am not sure what the cause may be or if anyone else has had a similar problem.

I've had glideslope issues going back to v1. There was a thread about it. Still having same problems in v2.

@Lindovsky The 200QT and 300QT share the same boarding logic, so there shouldn't be any differences in logic between the variants. However, if one of the fields remains amber at the end of boarding, this suggests that the OFP/payloads may not have been synced across the 146/SimBrief/GSX.

I'll list the method I personally use for boarding below that has been reliable (this is assuming the use of SimBrief and GSX, but if you are not using one or either of these, you can skip those steps):

Generate an OFP on Simbrief. Load a flight in the same 146 variant as listed on the OFP. Set up the aircraft's systems ready for boarding. On the EFB, go to the OFP page and check the OFP list matches the one you generated on SimBrief. On the EFB, go to the AIRCRAFT page, and when prompted click "IMPORT" to import the OFP weights into the flashing data fields. On the EFB, click on the 'Boarding' symbol at the bottom left of the AIRCRAFT page and click "Start Boarding" to begin boarding.

Then, if you are using GSX...

On the EFB, go to the configuration menu and check that "GSX Boarding" is enabled. Open the GSX menu and begin boarding through the GSX menu.

Let us know if you run into this issue again, and if possible, send us your SimBrief OFP. Then we can try and replicate the issue on our end.

The cargo not being visible in the 300QT has been logged on our internal bugs tracker. We'll ensure a fix gets included in the next update to the 146.

@Captain_Wealthy As 'lancealotg' said above, the Autopilot engage button is located on the pedestal next to the captain's seat. The AP 'button' on the glareshield is only an annunciator light, so its only job is to illuminate when the autopilot is engaged. That one has caught a lot of people out!

A constant Autopilot disconnect alarm typically means the Autopilot has been disconnected via non-normal means. The correct way to disengage the Autopilot is to press the AP cut-out button on either yoke, and this can also be triggered via the 'TOGGLE DISENGAGE AUTOPILOT' control assignment.

Further details on the Autopilot engagement and disengagement can be found on Page 28 of the 146 Professional (MSFS) Operations Manual: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003642/146_Professional_MSFS_manual.pdf

@Huibrecht Thank you for your feedback. With the release build of the UNS-1, we wanted to focus on all of the main functions that are used on a typical flight, and then we plan on adding additional features as the UNS-1 is used in more of our aircraft. we have therefore logged this feedback on our internal bugs/feature request tracker for the UNS-1 development to look into adding in a future update.

@TheVideoGamePilot Ah yes, if you used state saving to keep the passenger door open between flights that will prevent the music from triggering at the normal times. I haven't tried the boarding music with State Saving enabled personally, but I suspect the boarding music may still play in that situation if "Start Boarding" is selected on the boarding menu, or the "Turnaround" state is selected.

We'll investigate this on Monday to see if we can make any tweaks to the triggers to make the boarding music play when State Saving is used.

I found out that using those passenger weight value on the simbrief profile:

89kg for -100 and -200
88kg for -300

Will allow me to get the correct number of pax on the EFB, but I am still off by 200-250kg on the ZFW

Great job - nice aircraft :)

thanks for checking.

Thank you for the prompt response and quick fix, Rich!

Thank you for the update, Mark!

Just to clarify, I don't have to log in every flight on the EFB.

The above issue happened when I lost my internet connection while in the middle of a flight. After twenty minutes or so, my internet connection was restored. The charts were working fine until that point in the flight.
I was without EFB charts for the remainder of that flight.
The next time I flew the 146, the token handshake did work and has been working ok since then. I brought this error up because this is not the first time this has happened to me.

I also don't see how the addon linker can be the cause of the problem. I have been flying the 146 exclusively for a few weeks now so the addon linker is not really doing anything. There is no "uninstall/reinstall" going on.
All the addon linker does is create symbolic links in the community folder for whatever plane and mods you want to fly with (similar to how GSX creates symbolic links in the community folder).

I appreciate you bringing this up to the team because it is extremely frustrating (especially in VR) when this occurs.

@Mark Obviously I don't know what kind of roadblocks you've run into development so I may be way off base here, but I do know I've seen Umberto (GSX dev) state that Leonardo did their GSX integration with the Maddog fully on their own utilizing the GSX documentation, and it fuels automatically via GSX, and then also Fragtality created the Fenix2GSX addon that did the same before Fenix implemented their own native integration. I don't know first hand but my sense from seeing Fragtality speak is that his work was either with no or little input from Umberto/GSX. I feel optimistic based on all that that the framework may already be in place for a full integration!

I also know that GSX also natively has the capability to fuel aircraft as is -- the challenge in the past with most add-on aircraft seemed to be the passenger and bags.

But I dunno, I'm just some guy, I can only report what I've seen browsing the various forums and discords.
