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

@Delta558 thanks for checking! Of course not, but knowing pilots making error (which is how I ended up even thinking about this)

In v0.1.3 of the Vulcan, we upgraded the GPS from the Aera GPS to the G3X Touch for better MSFS 2024 compatibility. Therefore, the functionality of the GPS has changed slightly as the G3X Touch is a more advanced GPS. To cover each of your points: If a flight plan is created in the MSFS 2024 EFB, the "Send Route To Avionics" button must be pressed in order to import the route into the GPS. If a flight plan is created manually within the GPS, the flight plan must have a departure airport and a destination airport set in order for the autopilot to couple with the GPS (if a flight plan is created in the GPS with only a departure airport and waypoints, the route will be displayed, but the autopilot coupling will not function with an incomplete flight plan). In order for the autopilot to track the GPS flight plan, the ENGAGE knob must be pulled (with IN indicator showing white), the TRACK knob must be pulled, and REMOTE must be selected on the navigational selector. This is a known side effect of a workaround we have put in place to improve touchscreen display interactions in our aircraft in MSFS 2024. If the workaround is no longer required after future MSFS 2024 Sim Updates, we will update the logic so that control cannot be clicked through touchscreen displays. The GPS can also be moved on top of the glareshield by clicking the upper bezel. As the G3X Touch is a default GPS unit in MSFS 2024 (developed by Working Title), we sadly don't have any control over the scaling of the GPS. To circumvent this, we have added custom cameras for each GPS position which moves the camera closer to the GPS display. These cameras can be toggled either via the MSFS Camera menu, or via a clickspot on the right bezel of the GPS. Mark - Just Flight

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! Mark - Just Flight

@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.

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. Mark - Just Flight

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.

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/). Mark - Just Flight

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.

As it stands, Airshow Assistant can only spawn the same aircraft that is being flown. When I fly the Vulcan as a K2, if I extend or retract the hose, the AI Vulcan copies. In the upcoming update, I should be able to fly a Typhoon and set Airshow Assistant as No4 in a diamond formation and a Vulcan K2 as No 1. Then when I instruct Airshow Assistant to formate on me, a Vulcan K2 with hose already extended would appear near me and then move in front of me. I could then extend my probe and start refuelling. I am sure the idea is sound, it only needs the K2, probably with the extended hose to be available as an option on the load page as opposed to the tablet. I use the Typhoon as an example although other aircraft capable of air to air refuelling such as the Harrier could be used. Thanks in anticipation. Robert

@colb617 We don't have a release date set in stone just yet, but the fuel system in the Vulcan remains something we would like to revisit and improve in the future once a suitable gap opens up in our schedules. Mark - Just Flight

It would be great to be able to assign this function to a specific key. I was just about to write a question about this topic. I managed to assign buttons on the throttle of my joystick to control the throttle position (speed..) in autothrottle mode via the commands: Increase Autopilot Reference Airspeed /Shift + Ctrl + Insert and Decrease Autopilot Reference Airspeed /Shift + Ctrl + Delete. So it would be great to be able to turn the autothrottle function on and off, ideally via one button (on/off positions) Best regards and thanks for the great work

Ok, makes sense. Cheers
