F28 Professional

I think to remember that only the first 20 aircraft ( all mk1000 ) had this fat rear cargo door. The thinner door located a bit further back was introduced after that and was standard on all later F28 aircraft.

The paxdoor in its present situation was introduced after lots of complaints about the steep stairs when the aircraft had low fuel loads and few cargo in the hold. People had problems with the slopingdown of the steps. The present steps got have an extra folding step at the bottom. The second handrail was an option the airline could buy. Later it became standard. The folding plank in the doorway was an option for the airline the wanted to unload passengers via an passenger boarding bridge.

All F28 aircraft have an escapeslide installed at the RH Service Emergency door. Stowage of the slide is in the Galley recess

@tiiny The variable that isn't working for us is the "IS USER SIM" check variable, which we should be able to use to differentiate the player's aircraft behaviour from the Ai. Unfortunately, we've always had difficulties with multiplayer as the multiplayer aircraft share LVARs with the player aircraft, so we think it's something that will need to be fixed on the simulator.

We are continuing to look into this and it's a high priority on our internal bugs tracker, so we will be sure to update the F28 if we are able to find a suitable workaround.

@flyforever HDG mode should always be able to be engaged regardless of what other autopilot modes are selected, but BEAM mode should only be able to be selected if an active NAV frequency is tuned in the VHFNAV radios, or a GPS course is active on the GNS530.

If you aren't able to select HDG mode, then that does sound like something strange is going on.

Could kindly raise a support ticket at the following link, with some steps to reproduce the issue? If you could put in the ticket what navigation option you were using at the time that would be a great help to us when trying to reproduce the issue (No GNS 530 selected, GNS530 selected with GPS mode, or GNS530 selected with VLOC mode).

@kenzo Thank you for your feedback. We have logged this on our internal bugs/feature request tracking and will investigate what is possible in a future update to the F28 Professional.

@mark said in Gen 3 switch:

With regards to what GPS/FMS options we can bring to the F28, the current plan is to integrate the UNS-1 FMS once it's released for the 146, and then we may look into adding another GPS unit in the future (such as the KLN 90B).

Would be great to fly the Fokker with UNS, really looking forward toward its and BAE 146's UNS updates.

@flyforever Not for the heading, but I'm using buttons to set the pitch for the autopilot. Was a bit finicky but got there in the end, using Spad

@flyforever Yes there is. you won't miss it ... -;)

@mark this was just the kind of reply I was hoping for, that's much more clear now. Thanks Mark!

@z06z33 Sadly it's not possible to open the pilot's windows in the F28. It's something we would like to add but it would require a fair amount of re-modelling and texturing work so it is unlikely to see it added at this stage.

We have logged this feedback on our internal bugs/feature request tracker though so we can reassess it for future updates.

Ideally everything should support the GNS750 addons, even if it means duct taping the box somewhere and connecting it with loose cables ;-) It's a good system to operate in a "modern" environment, and the 530 also has some limitations like not supporting holds.

From what I read, the Nightmare Mode FMC coming to the 146 would rather be a step back compared to the CRJ system currently available in that plane too.

@arek5 Thanks for reporting this! I've logged this on our internal bug tracker and we'll make sure this is fixed for the next F28 Professional update.

@mmarques drift boss
Have you found a way to disable F28 from appearing as traffic?

@eurostar373driver said in Can't Change AP pitch:

Same issue here still!

If you contact Just Flight support we can look into it for you.

@longhaul747 said in Pitch switch and Roll knob not working?:

Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise greatly enjoying the F28!

Your best bet would probably be to contact Just Flight support. There is a link at www.justflight.com and you can raise a ticket there.

@mark thank you for reply. It would be nice to have the capability though. "Theoretically" wiring of "HSI-from-GNS" and "GS-from-GNS" is not too different and would be conceivable for the F28 if it'd fly today? Fingers crossed :=)

@fab10 Great, thanks for confirming and glad to hear that it's now fixed

@martyn I received the WASM that fixed it. See ticket ;-)
