F28 Professional

@mark Thank you so much for listening to the community and the hard work!! I can't wait for the update.

@papafox85 ok thanks

That is correct behavior and it is simulating the bleed air auto shut-off system which automatically shuts off the air conditioning MAIN valves when additional air is required by the engines in order to achieve the desired thrust level.

A table showing the valve states with various RPM settings can be found on page 35 of the F28 Professional Operations Manual and we go on to explain a little about this system near the end of the "Bleed Air Supply & Air Conditioning" video that we posted a few months back: https://youtu.be/lVewFdk3y5I?t=248

We don't supply an LVAR list as the list can be found in several locations within the sim so we would just be copying that list. Plus it could change fairly regularly so it would be a list that we would have to constantly update.

There are a few ways you can find an LVAR list in the sim, but the way I personally recommended is:

Load a flight in the F28 Go to MSFS Options > General Options > Developers and enable Developer Mode. Move your mouse to the top of the screen and on the menu go to Windows > Behaviours > Local Variables. In that menu, you'll see a list of every LVAR used in the F28 and its current state. You can search for an LVAR using the search field. So for example if you wanted to find an LVAR for the strobe lights you could type "Strobe" in the search field and you could find the LVAR for the Strobe lights which is "F28_PED_Lights_Toggle_STROBE_Switch". With that LVAR in view, if you then move the switch you'll see the state change in the menu.

Most of the LVARs should be named appropriately to their actual controls so the search technique should work pretty well. Let us know if you get stuck though and we can assist.

@celti Thanks!

@225transport said in Button "Rudder center" not working:

Is there no solution?

If you are having any problems with Just Flight or Just Trains software your best bet would be to contact Support and they should be able to help you out. There is a link on the website www.justflight.com

@eker What a great review! Thank you!
I am thankful thatJustflight made this Fokker 28 possible.
It is great to fly.
Hopefully will Justflight bring more Fokker aircraft. The F28-100 and F28-70 are announced. F27 F50???
Happy flying best regards.

@mark Thank you a lot for your reply. I'm glad most of the things I mentioned will be added/patched.
I understand about the points you mentioned. The EFB charts directory would be one of my top requests for now as windows will not be a thing implemented.

Hi,
In fact I did some new tests et read again about this speedbrake blowback in the F28 and it really work as it should...!!
Sorry my bad !
It then simulate very well indeed.
Thank you

@eyaen At the beginning, I placed my camera close to the glareshield and zoomed out but finally, I found it easier to read instruments to go back and zoom in. You have less speed feeling but you can read instruments easily. I also noticed that in most real F28s, the artifical horizon is bigger that what we got in the sim. That might have to do with it.

The other thing is that the glareshield is bigger/thicker than in the real plane and thus, it makes the instrument lower from the pilot's eye. This is definitely a 3D modeling issue that couldn't be resolved that easily, I guess. Here's a comparison between the real and sim.

Then you have to get your head higher and farther from the instruments and it's more difficult to read, especially in 1920/1080 resolution at night :upside-down_face:

I also have the state saving issue. It seemed to be working right up until the first update and now I load in with the same settings as I did for what I assume is the first flight after updating. (I did a full uninstall and then re-installed with the latest installed but did NOT delete the working folder).

@mark thank you so much. This was my first time seeing this behavior in the F28. All of my prior flights had been perfectly calm. Glad to know I wasn’t losing my mind.

@toucanair FYI the download link is fixed

A few issues in climb when I saved the situation by switching to IAS-mode instead of PITCH. On descent all was well to 7000' when the aircraft would pitch up violently, even pegging the VS needle. No response to IAS mode, and disconnection/connecting the AP helped. The BAe 146 does not have the same issues.

Flew using the Garmin on GPS.

Thank you for reporting this. I've logged this on our internal bugs tracker and we'll see what we can do.

If the engine gets stuck around 25% that would indicate no fuel is entering the engine.

We would recommend checking your external controllers for any "FUEL VALVE" or general "FUEL" control assignments that may be triggered, preventing fuel from entering the engine.
