RJ Professional

I've just run a quick test on my side, and the flight plan has saved to the file directory and is available for selection on the STORED FLIGHT PLANS page. The file directory where the flight plan is stored will vary slightly depending on which version of MSFS 2024 you have installed, so it'll be worth checking both of the following locations: MSFS 2024 – Microsoft Store: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft. Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2024\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight FlightPlans MSFS 2024 – Steam: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\WASM\MSFS2024\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans However, the FMS should save/recall the flight plan to the necessary file directory automatically. The only thing I can think of that might prevent a flight plan from saving is if the "EXEC" key hasn't been pressed after the flight plan has been entered into the FMS. If the EXEC key hasn't been pressed, then the flight plan isn't yet active, and so might not be able to be saved. Mark - Just Flight

This isn't something I am able to replicate on my side, so it could also be related to the long pause that we previously discussed. If this behaviour does occur again, could I kindly ask you to raise a ticket with Just Flight Support via the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support In the ticket, if you could include the flight plan and steps to reproduce the freeze (just as you have in this thread), and also which AIRAC cycle navdata you are currently using (the default 2401 that ships with the RJ Professional, or updates to a newer AIRAC cycle via Navigraph), then that will put our support team in the best position to offer assistance, or to log this behaviour with the development team.

@GJDober That's similar to autopilot behavior I see in a lot of default (and I'm pretty sure independently developed, too) GA planes -- when I use my yoke button, which I believe in most cases is bound to Autopilot Off, I have to press the button a second time in order to be able to reengage the autopilot. It makes me wonder if this is a sim bug. I don't recall experiencing it in the RJ, but I also haven't flown it since the 146 update released. Edited to Add: I should have mentioned, the GA planes I've seen this in all use that same common autopilot (or a very similar one) that ships with most of the sim default/included GA planes.

Thanks, Mark. I was able to find the ini file but no luck there. However, I found the issue was with a binding on my throttle for the autothrottle - a go around mode. Deleted that and the problem is solved. Thanks again.

The weight changes are a known limitation of how the MSFS 2024 walkaround mode interacts with the custom fuel/payload managers in third-party aircraft. However, we do have a workaround currently in testing, and if our testing team approves that workaround, we will include it in the next update to our products. Mark - Just Flight

That's not a behaviour I recall seeing reported before, and it shouldn't be possible to deploy the lift spoilers in flight, so it sounds like something that could be caused by a controller conflict. The first thing I would recommend checking is if you have any "SPOILERS" control assignments being inadvertently triggered by your external hardware (TOGGLE SPOILERS, SPOILERS AXIS, EXTEND SPOILERS, etc.). For reference, the conditions for automatic lift spoiler deployment are listed on pages 79-80 of the RJ Professional Operations Manual: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003765/RJ_Professional_MSFS_Operations_Manual_MSFS2024.pdf Mark - Just Flight

This isn't something I recall seeing reported previously, but if this happens again, could I kindly ask you to raise a ticket with Just Flight Support via the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support In the ticket, if you could provide further details on when this behaviour is observed, then we can begin to log any further instances of this to see if a trend starts to emerge.

OK solved it.

Thank you for the kind words. For future reference, you may be interested to know that there are tools within MSFS Developer Mode that can help you find LVARs for any control in any aircraft. With Developer Mode enabled, if you move your mouse to the menu bar at the top of the screen, and navigate to: Windows > Behaviours > Local Variables. Entering instrument names or abbreviations into the ‘Filter’ field will vastly speed up the process of finding LVARs. For example, if you are trying to find the LVARs used for the transponder, you can search for ‘XPDR' and you will find the following LVARs: "PED_AFT_XPDR_MODE". With the Behaviour debug menu open, it is also possible to automatically populate the "Filter" field with the LVAR name of a specific control. With the Behaviour debug menu open, move your cursor over any control in the cockpit and then press [CTRL]+[G], to populate the "Filter" field with the LVAR name. Hope that can be of some use.

Thank you, @gazdav787 , you've given me the clue I needed! Besides those variables, I've identified these ones: The buttons can be toggled using R_TRP_Climb, R_TRP_MCT, R_TRP_TOGA and R_Mstr_Climb. Send a 1 to those values and button will change state if it's possible. State of the buttons can be read using R_TRP_TOGA_redu_il1, R_TRP_TOGA_redu_il2, R_TRP_TOGA_redu_il1, R_TRP_Mstr_eng1_il1, R_TRP_Mstr_eng2_il1, R_TRP_MCT_il1, R_TRP_Climb_norm_il1 and R_TRP_Climb_max_il1. Each variable maps to a different state. Value of the display can be read using JF_RJ_TRP_Display_Value. Thanks!

Just confirming there is no way to get rid of ice on the plane before takeoff? I just started a flight at the gate in cing conditions, and I could see the ZFW creeping up in the EFB as the aircraft accumulated more and more ice, with the corresponding visual effects. The extra weight was soon over 1000 lb. However, after start up and taxi, there does not seem to be any way in the sim to remove the ice, apart from going into dev mode and turning the slider down. Is there no other way?

Good to know! Thank you for the update!
