F28 Professional

@Mark that’s brilliant news, thanks!

If you use Simbrief, I've been playing with the latest version that includes a takeoff performance calculator.

It doesn't have preset data for the F.28 but it does have it for the F.70 and can give a calculated Flex Take Off temperature.

I've been loading data for my F.28 into that, then bumping up the weight by 10 per cent or so to account for the lower power/weight ratio of the F.28.

So far it's always spat out Flex temperatures in the 40-45 deg.C range.

Using the thrust index numbers to go with those temperatures certainly seems to do a good approximation of a Flex takeoff - less of the frantic 'pocket rocket' climb that you get at full rated thrust. I feel you could bump the assumed temperature even higher but without the proper data it seems a good compromise.

@Mark Hi,
Turned off state saving, I found no key binding, on 3rd try the plane turn on normally and it was a pleasure to fly (Berlin to Copenhagen landing RWY 30 in full ILS).

State saving acts strange , I turned off the plane all knobs and switches turned off but when starting half of them were on.

Will try to see if I can outline precisely the problem for you to investigate.

Thank you for the reply. You are a wonderful team I love you r products.

The engine sticking at 15-20% suggests that fuel isn't being introduced into the engine. Do you perhaps have any control assignments that could be triggering a fuel pump or fuel valve that is preventing fuel from being introduced to the engine?

A quick way of testing this will be to unplug any external hardware (yokes, throttle quadrants, etc), then try an engine start with everything unplugged. If both engines start correctly with everything unplugged, then a control assignment conflict is likely the cause.

If it is a control assignment conflict, you can go to MSFS Options > Controls Options, and click on the tab with the name of one piece of external hardware you have plugged in. Then, in the "SEARCH BY NAME" field, searching for "FUEL" should show you all the MSFS control assignments related to the fuel system and also show you which you have axis/buttons/switches assigned to on your external hardware. The control assignments that are causing a conflict can then be deleted here, or a new controller preset can be created using the "OPEN PRESET MANAGER" button at the bottom of the page.

Hope that helps.

I believe you would need to restart the flight in order for the lock wiring to reappear. You may also need to disable state saving (if enabled) to prevent the aircraft from loading in with the valve already open.

tHANKYOU VERY MUCH, I WILL GIVE IT A TRY!

We'll make a note to add that to the manual for the next update.

Found my own solution. For future onlookers use this instead:

guys i fixed it just go and find the pms gtn 750 mod for others and put the GTN 750 into the f28 guys itll fix all the issues. Im not using SU15BETA and believe me this will fix all I have a youtube channel I made a tutorial on how to replace the GNS530 by the GTN cuz for me the GNS530 is broken rn.

Excellent! Thanks a lot.

Hello @Mark :)

I already sent you an email to the address support gave me.

Thanks

Hey, I made an other occurrence with this display issue. This time the weather even made the aircraft go a little bit bellow the glide and you can see that the display is showing the opposite.

It really seems to be a very random issue... sometimes it occurs, sometimes not.

@Mark Thanks for the clarification! Just bought, finally i can enjoy some Fokker flights! Just want to spend a minute to say that i have already the 146 Pro and the Avro Vulcan and i can definitely affirm that JustFlight is easily one of the best developer out there for msfs. Great quality addons and awesome attention to details. Good job guys!

@Mark I did what you said, renamed the community folder and then it worked. I thought that this was strange, since the only things I have in my community folder are (payware) scenery and aircrafts, the same ones that I had on my old PC in fact. Nothing that should interfere with the f28...

So I decided to do another reinstallation, removing the program using the Windows tool. But since I renamed the community folder it didn't uninstall it at all, so I ran the installer on top of the installed one already. All of the sudden it worked! Not sure how, but I have done 2 test flights now without any issues at all.

@AlexEtz Thanks for reporting this. I've logged this on our internal bugs tracker to investigate further.

@AlexEtz Thank you for the kind words. The F28 Professional was an enjoyable one for us to develop with it being so different to anything else, so we're glad to see our passion for it is reflected in the product. We'll pass on your words to the rest of the development team.

We'll be turning our attention to the F28 again soon to give it a similar treatment to that of the recent 146 Professional Version 2 update. There are some new features coming to the F28 that we haven't announced yet, so there's lots to look forward too!

@GroverJ41 Thanks for the clarification! The RMI turned into quite a headache during development and we had so little reference material regarding what each switch position stood for. Our coders must have found some reference material in the end to simulate the current logic.

With regards to the purple bug on the HSI, it will point directly to the active Navaid. So if you have a VOR tuned into the VHF NAV radios they will indicate the direction of the VOR. If you have a flight plan entered into the GPS, they will indicate the direction of the next waypoint.
