F28 Professional

@Mark Oh i see i'm even behind a F28 update. My white livery issues started with an update december/january. But because i didnt really fly it i didnt say anything back then. But will update both now then. Thanks

Have had this brakes issue when starting from. cold and dark for my last two play sessions. Pedals animate, pressure in system, no braking effect. If I flip my hardware parking brake toggle I get braking, but no braking using the toe brakes on my rudder pedals.

Glad to hear you're as excited about the F70 and F100 as we are! To answer each of your questions: It's not something we'd be comfortable committing to bringing to our previous products at the moment, as it is quite a complex piece of logic to integrate. However, it is something we would consider adding further down the line if a suitable opportunity arises and time allows. It will be possible to use your own custom files for the Announcements and Music played by the Digital Music Player. The pilot callouts are a separate system with the individual sound files being incorporated within the sound package, so they won't be customisable. This was discussed during development, but I recall our sound developer noting that there would be some technical challenge to overcome to make the pilot callouts customisable. It remains on the feature request list for now, and we'll revisit it again in the future. Mark - Just Flight

Just to give this topic some closure, support advised me to disable addons and then it worked so I started to exclude things individually and the problem is caused by GSX, specifically when you have passengers enabled in GSX! There is this phantom passenger light that sticks to the plane at all points. Seems to be a common problem with certain planes when researching this very issue so not sure if this is a GSX issue to fix or an aircraft dev but I can live with not having any pax so I'll consider the problem resolved.

Same Story here... no boundings, but the HP-Levers are in the On Position at the beginning, and going back random to on. Multible times during preflight.

Yeah that makes sense, seems like woth an aircraft that could have that many variations you would overrun the budget really quick if you started trying to represent every little thing it could have. Thank you for all the info as well, very educational

This would be an awesome feature, I would definitely use it on the whole range of JF aircraft, I assume the a300 will have the UNS1 as well so that would be perfect. I think the code would carry over to the Boeing FMC as well, as far as the Pyhton script goes.

Hello, My RJ Professional went from 1.4 to 1.5. It works. Now the same with the F28. I gotta learn how to fly them. I guess I lack some patience. Thank you. Hope all is well. ️

@Mark Thank you! These conditions, plus the conditions for boarding logic, would be awesome to add to the manual in a future update! (I just realized I probably haven't combed the EFB manual exhaustively, so please excuse me if they're already in there)

In addition to the @GroverJ41's fantasitc reply above, we also have a tutorial flight from Page 153 of the F28 Professional Operations Manual that will walk you through an entire flight in the aircraft: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003039/F28_Professional_MSFS_Manual_v2.2.pdf We also have a 4-part video series on our YouTube channel that covers that tutorial flight: https://youtu.be/zZQf0yjYHtw Mark - Just Flight

@Mark It was well within crosswind limits. I don't have tiller hardware. But there was no dead zone, so I'll try adding that to see it it helps.

It's been a while since we last looked into it, but I seem to recall there being some sort of barrier that prevents us from having fully automated GSX refuelling without FSDT support. However, we've made a note to take another look ahead of the next update to the F28. Mark - Just Flight

@Martyn You're very welcome, thank you to the whole JF team for bringing the F28 to life! In a way, you're part of preserving history with recreating these vintage airplanes. One day the last F28 will fly, but they will always fly within our simulators. I am looking forward to your beautiful F70/100 with the Tay engines and your A300B4 as well. Thank you for passing that along to your sound team in case it could ever be improved!

This aircraft (RJ) should be capable of performing n LPV approach.

Thank you very much. You guys are great.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like GSX seated passengers are supported on marketplace products due to encryption limitations. The following is from the GSX product page: "Note: Seated passengers feature requires non-encrypted aircraft. Not available for Marketplace aircraft due to encryption limitations."

If you let Just Flight Support know about these they can look into them. https://www.justflight.com/support

The locked cockpit seats are intentional logic in the MSFS 2024 versions of the F28 to work around a simulator limitation. See point 5 in the following FAQ: https://support.justflight.com/en/support/solutions/articles/17000145497-f28-professional-msfs-2024-known-limitations Thanks for the feedback regarding noise reduction/headphone option. Although nothing is planned at the moment, we have added that to our internal feature request tracker for consideration in a future update. Mark - Just Flight

I'm waiting for the addition of a random unruly passenger to really kick up the immersion level.

It is expected behaviour that the F28 should be susceptible to floating when entering the ground effect. The F28 has a low wing, much lower than most conventional aircraft due to the lack of engines, and it also has a very thick wing that is designed to generate lots of lift at low altitudes. Combine both of those factors with an approach speed which is similar to more conventional airliners, and it's likely that the aircraft will be rather susceptible to ground effect. If an approach is carried out following standard procedures, it is standard to extend the speedbrake as the aircraft crosses the runway threshold (there is a callout for this in the F28 Professional). When the speedbrake is deployed, the extra drag will slow the aircraft down to the VREF speed, thus reducing any tendency to float. Upon touchdown, the liftdumpers will automatically deploy (if armed), which are used to spoil any remaining lift that is being generated by the wings. The act of extending the speedbrake during the final approach is something unique to some of the aircraft we develop (F28/146/RJ), and does differ from the more conventional aircraft, but once you start doing it a few times, it starts becoming second nature. There are few settings in the simulator that we may recommend changing that could improve your experience with both points you raise: We recommend using linear sensitivity curves for all of our aircraft. This is what the flight models in our aircraft were developed around, and provides consistent control throughout the control range. The sensitivity curve can be adjusted in MSFS 2024 Settings > Control > then click on the cog icon next to your joystick/yoke/controller > Hardware Settings. We recommend using the "Low" turbulence setting. Based on various feedback we receive from real-world pilots on our testing teams, the "Medium" and "Realistic" turbulence settings tend to produce overly aggressive wind effects in the simulator. Therefore, reducing this setting to "Low" will provide a more realistic experience, and may reduce any wind effects/ground effect caused when low to the terrain. The turbulence setting can be found at MSFS 2024 Settings > Assistances > Turbulence. Hope that helps. Mark - Just Flight
