Avro Vulcan B Mk. 2, K.2 & MRR

Thx a lot!
I know the speed bleed-off is supposed to be huge - but only at high AoA's. Check the videos of 558's wingovers (especially Kev's infamous one at the last RIAT display) - 558 was able to keep the vertical climb a lot longer than JF's Vulcan. I'd estimate that about 2.500 ft of vertical climb are missing.
One main problem is also the lack of nose-up elevator authority at low speeds - one ought to be able to pitch up quicker (alse deducted from the videos).

I's a pity - a year after her last flight I spent a RIAT lunch break with Kev, but neither bothered to ask him about all the details of her flight dynamics nor even dreamed of being able to fly such a magnificently modelled 558 in some kind of photo realistic flight simulator...

This isn't something we were aware of, however, we suspect we may know the reason behind this (relating to how LODs are handled within MSFS 2024). We'll log this on our internal bugs tracker as something to investigate ahead of the next Vulcan update. Thanks for reporting this!

Hi Mark,

We don't have any sort of SDK or documentation for interfacing with lvars or events, but we do try to support as many of the MSFS control assignments as possible.

It'll often not be possible to interact with the underlying systems just through LVARs but let me know which you are interested in and I'll take a look.

Thanks,
Martyn

@Derek Seems to be working as expected again after the update

@Martyn much appreciated, I wasn't sure if the fix would apply to FS2024 as well.

The Vulcan was submitted to the MSFS 2020 marketplace last week, so if everything goes according to plan, it should be available either this coming Thursday or the following Monday.

We will also submit the Vulcan to the MSFS 2024 marketplace at the earliest opportunity. Unfortunately at this time, we don't know when the MSFS 2024 marketplace will become available.

I resolved this by myself at this time, I reverted to search my entire C: Drive for the aircraft folder, threw that into my FS2024 Community folder manually, there we have it, fully flyable from this point. :D!

I have downloaded the FS2024 Vulcan from the JF store, I have extracted the folder from the zip file, then ran the setup, It installed "Somewhere" but the aircraft is not in my FS2024 aircraft selection screen? Nor is the Vulcan Aircraft folder in my FS2024 "Community" folder.
I am redownloading the zip file again (because i deleted my first zip) and am going to run as admin this time lol, maybe this could be the reason?

ok great, thank you! Look forward to the release!

The TFR does not have a coupled autopilot mode in the Vulcan. Once an altitude is set on the TFR height selector, the pitch attitude required to maintain that height above the terrain will be displayed by the flight director. This is how is works in the real aircraft too.

The easiest way to get the TFR powered on and functional is to follow the steps listed in the "LOW LEVEL CHECKS" checklist on the MSFS interactive checklist system (pictured below). Clicking on the 'eye' icon to the right of each checklist item will highlight the respective control in the cockpit.

In the real aircraft (and in the simulator), the TFR does not have a coupled autopilot mode. Once an altitude is set on the TFR height selector, the pitch attitude required to maintain that height above the terrain will be displayed by the flight director.

Hope that helps.

Apologies for the belated reply, the GPS used in the Vulcan is the default MSFS Aera GPS. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any documentation supplied for the default MSFS GPSs, or any documentation for the default aircraft that includes the Aera GPS. For reference, the following link houses the manuals for the Asobo/Microsoft published aircraft: https://www.flightsimulator.com/aircraft-manuals/).

Have the fuel flow adjustments you mentioned in another thread been implemented in the current version?

"A more precise adjustment will make the next release version, but for now if anybody wants the additional range and you're confident editing text files, open the Engines.cfg and scroll down to the jet_density_on_ff_table. Replace the entire line with the one below, should give you roughly 6500km (4000 mile) range in the 50,000ft zone.

jet_density_on_ff_table = 0.000230:0.229000,0.000600:0.380000,0.000710:0.554000,0.000910:0.761000,0.001020:0.887000,0.001280:0.983000,0.001430:1.074000,0.001770:1.161000,0.002060:1.219100,0.002380:1.39600

Ensure you climb at 250kts/93% rpm to 20,000ft then 300kts/96% rpm until that coincides with 0.8M then maintain the mach number. Top of climb, level out and let speed build to 0.87M and adjust throttles to maintain."

Your a star, thank you so much. Found an issue with my throttles. Thank you.
