F28 Professional

I don't mind working ported versions. I'm not really the biggest fan of the preflight walk arounds.

I was just about to post about the same issue.
MSFS2024
Cold and dark - flashlight off.
It is impossible to get a completely dark flight deck.
There is some sort of light coming from around the cockpit door. I have even tried turning the pax cabin lighting off and on. It is almost like there is a large thin fluro light on the roof aft of the panel.
I will try and post a screenshot.
But setup somewhere you know is completely dark with no external lighting and set cold and dark with flash light off - the cockpit is still lit.

You can't delete the registration in the settings but what I have done is just put a single space there instead and then the correct reg is then used in the cockpit.

So a space in Tail Number. I also do same in Flight Number.

@Aymerix Yes, that should be the correct file directory for the MSFS 2024 Steam version. I have updated my previous comment to reflect that, and the following FAQ will also have the correct file directories listed: https://support.justflight.com/en/support/solutions/articles/17000145452-uns-1-how-can-i-import-a-flight-plan-from-simbrief-

Apologies for the inconvenience.

@Mark said in Weather radar intermittent INOP:

Unfortunately, it's proven to be a tricky bug to track down and find reliable steps to reproduce.

I'll see if I can find a pattern. Thanks for replying!

@Mark I hadn't spotted this post by @zntgrg but spotted your response to my query in the other thread. Many thanks for the update and for a splendid aircraft...

@Mark
No probs - thanks for the response...I am relieved that it isn't a quirk in my own system (MrsAJZip assures me I have plenty of those to begin with!)

The F-28 Professional is a joy to fly in VR. Great stuff!

From a few tests, it looks like its an issue with GSX integration.

If I only use the pushback request from GSX and deselect GSX integration from the settings menu on the tablet, brakes work each time.

figured this out, I just needed to turn on the lights using the light control on the overhead panel

Thanks for posting your solution. With that starting point it took me all of five minutes to get it working here :-)

OK, this is actually in the manual.

I was attempting to change the altitude restrictions on the FPL pages. The correct way to do it is, on the VNAV page, use the LSK keys next to the VNAV waypoints, select the waypoint (!), and set the altitude. Changing the restriction at BOGMU to FL110, and the restriction at the FAF did the trick.

Not very intuitive, but good fun.

Try the 8k texture pack, really improves it for me and didn't impact performance.

Yeah, it came as a surprise to me, too -- but if you keep your eyes open you might see that a clickable component of your cockpit continues glowing blue, indicating it's still selected while you're clicking around your second monitor. This might not be what caused your problem but as soon as I read your post it's what I thought of.

I don't think it's the UNS-1 per se, but something else to do with Just Flight planes (in 2024 at least) I guess, because the RJ has the same problem, in fact had it first, and that's a different FMS. If you delete the Navigraph navdata for the F28, you'll have those airports and maybe some of the missing approaches/STARs/SIDs. But since you'll then have out of date navdata, some waypoints and procedures may have changed.

There's also a (short) thread in the Navigraph forum about this, maybe if enough people add their voice we'll see a fix: https://forum.navigraph.com/t/missing-data-justflight-rj-and-f28/19008/3

This is not something we are able to replicate on our side. If this occurs again, could I kindly ask you to raise a support ticket via the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support

Please include as many details as possible within the ticket so our support team can try to reproduce the issue. Information such as the airport, approach type, navdata used, simulator used and a video of the behaviour will greatly increase the chance of our support team being able to reproduce this behaviour.
