Baron Professional

Hi! I've created some screenshots about this: https://drive.proton.me/urls/W7HCHNSYEG#HotEfMbTrUIE Panel and flood lights are turned on and set for maximum brightness.

@SadBucket I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for contributing your real world aviation knowledge to our forum. Although I know there are plenty of fellow real world pilots who frequent this forum, I often find that I am the one sharing my knowledge of real world flying, and worry that it's either not appreciated, or that my "nothing ever works that well in the real world" answers can sound evasive coming from the developer. Thank you for taking the time to do these writeups and sharing them with my users

I think I'm coming around to agreeing. I'm not counting the Bonanza TC tip tanks because there was a known issue and I don't remember if the fix is out, but the fuel state saving is not working at the very least. I believe weights are since I always load with only the pilot and no copilot weight, and the tablet settings and avionics are correct, but now I wonder if my engine is always at 100% because of my devilishly good flying or because it's not saving any damage I'm incurring.

@Black-Square I discovered its the TOGA mode. If I sync the FD command bars to my current pitch attitude it captures. The question is whether TOGA is a valid pitch mode for altitude capture. From memory I remember it being so. I'll see if I can find the manual online.

Whow!! Great answer ... thanks a lot ,,, depp stuff, really! Have to learn still a lot!

@SadBucket Thank you for this!!! Turning it off is a great workaround for now. I've just been waiting until the last second to turn my landing light on.

Thanks, that gives me a little bit more time, still need to be fast, like within 1-2 secs, so if i follow the memory items for this emergency procedure (if it were to happen randomly), is never gonna get feather as I wouldn't be able to go from step one to 5 in time.

@DangerZoneDmo said in Excessive leaning does not damage the engines?: @bocian I honestly have no idea what a ferry pilot would do in terms of leaning, but I assume that they'd likely run quite lean of peak, in addition to using ferry tanks. There is a point of diminishing returns where, if you lose too much speed over a long distance, it will actually cost you more fuel as the time it takes is much longer. I'm gonna look into it, as I'm interested now. I'm sure there are math people out there that can calculate that all out, but I'm not one of them. I've spent quite some time with the math in the sim. There, it's a pretty obvious correlation: Lean as much as possible for maximum range: [image: 1822b6db-4191-4e0a-9745-cb9acd274143.png] Also, if you want a great video on leaning in general, check out this one by Martin Pauly: Lean of peak engine operation Thanks for that link, this video helped my understanding a ton and basically answers my initial question: The damage model works correct, heavy leaning does no harm to the engine. Will look deeper into the simulated spread of the cylinders though, maybe there's still something to nitpick if one of them runs in the "red zone" when lean of peak.

@SadBucket that's the process to clear vapour lock iirc. Close throttle and mixture, run the pumps to cool down the lines.

Thanks, it was active and I have now turned it off.

+1 I had the same impulse when I spotted the first bugs on that shiny new airframe.

If you're doing the Greek islands then it should be warm enough that the engines start well. You can even see the fuel and oil move in the right tab on the tablet, very cool.

@MiRexer said in Small sound issue ...: Taxi a little slower and it'll go away - but I think Nick said something about adjusting that in the future. If you haven't tried it yet taxi the Baron and start your runup with the window open - it's GLORIOUS!! It happens at slow taxi an at T/O also ... which isnt corresponding with reality. But thanks for the hint with the open window ... glorious indeed !!

Thanks, can't blame a guy for hoping
