    said in ND Data and Alt hold small bugs: @awde Looks like the standard reply should have been sent out which is basically "we will log these issues and pass them to the dev team". This was done but someone probably forgot to reply. Apologies for that. Meanwhile, the dev team is aware and will be looking at what's possible to resolve in a future update(s). Thanks for passing it on.

    @Outermarker and @hangar_101 Thanks chaps for your wisdom regarding the Asobo tablet - I wasn't aware it could was integrated as a 3D device. Having it and the Black Square tablet combined in the cockpit is sounding like a great idea

    Hi, I'm experiencing a variant of this issue. Both TDS and PMS50 GTN don't load well. Sometimes they try to switch on after connecting avionics but in a few seconds they disconnect and don't reappear again. Both work fine in the Dukes. The 530 also does not load in this situation, but the 430 does load.

    Taxi and takeoff were uneventful (but the takeoff roll was SHORT - 400 feet MAYBE). Engine startup was easy lol - mags on mixture rich.

  • Fuel Usage B36 Using Simbrief

    I’m not sure just how accurate the simbrief figures are. What I’d probably recommend is trying to determine your fuel requirements by using the figures in the manual (pages 167-8 for turboprop variant) which shows estimated fuel to climb and cruise PPH. You can use SimBrief for the routing, winds, ISA, and estimated time/groundspeed (if they have the right airspeed figures) and plug those numbers into the charts from the manual to predict fuel requirements. For example if climbing to 9000ft at ISA you’d need just under 5 gallons and then about 33 gallons per hour after that. If simbrief shows a 2.5 hour flight then you’d want about 90 gallons (about 600lb rounded up) before adding your reserve. The turboprop variant consumes a HUGE amount of fuel compared to the piston variant so it’s very easy to run out early. Sorry, I can’t say I’ve tried simbrief for the B36 yet so I’m not sure how close or far off the figures are.

    What a wonderful note. Thank you so much. I hope moments like that can bring you joy in your virtual flying! Next time it happens, you can try using your real world procedure to burn off the deposits instead of pressing the "cheat" button. Have fun, and let me know if there's ever anything else I can do for you!

    I apologize if I came across as impatient, I'm just excited to fly this plane with as much physical interaction as possible. Thank you again for a great add-on. I also got the Baron last month and put some hours in each variant. Wonderfully done as well. So, after a sleepless night and some consulting with ChatGPT (as I have 0 knowledge or experience with coding), I managed to get it displaying right. For anyone coming across this topic with similar issues, if you're using an ultrawide monitor you will need to play with the crop settings in index.html and the position in config.js until it aligns properly.

    Just wanted to follow up again; I realize above I tested and saw it was not a regression, but the manual and check lists specifically call out the same double depress as other BS aircraft. In the Bonanza it takes three. Which is the correct behavior?

    Nick? Anyone? I feel silly even asking but I would think there would be some indications of a fire.

    It seems pretty consistent, although one time it showed a light grey rectangle instead of the registration.

    @Rich Wow, thanks for the tremendous update, Rich! Thanks again for working so hard on this for me and my users. I was very happy to receive your update about the TBM at least! To add for everyone else here, we've also made progress on the Baron and Bonanza since you might have read yesterday. Progress!

    Most people post their videos to YouTube privately, or Google Drive, or DropBox, or similar. Sorry that it's a holiday week here in America, so I haven't been at my desk as much to try this. From memory, I agree that the torque probably doesn't rise as much as it should with the feathering, but I think I know a new parameter I can use to add this pretty easily. @ErnieBall said in I can not get the Prop to Feather!: Also as seen in vid no 2, Th AC can be started completely with only the crashbar up!. No other signs of power on the AC. Looking at my code, that seems to be intentional. One would assume this is so an engine restart could be initiated in flight with minimal power in the event of failures on the other buses. I'll check the POH and see what I can find.

    I have a good amount of time in 172's (N-S models), the Baron BE55A, the Debonairs, and F model Bonanzas. The 172s won't quit at the min ground idle as long as you don't lean it out too much for taxi. The Beechcraft birds will and even at full rich at ground idle when cold. Almost all post-start checklists have you set the power to at least 1000 RPM. The Bonanzas and especially the Baron are relatively slow to decelerate on approach, especially if you don't have the flaps or gear out. I would guess that the low idle stop for the Beech birds are set lower than a typical training aircraft like a 172. I also suspect that some schools might ask their mechanics to bring the low idle up just a hair, so that new PPL students won't decelerate too fast in the flair when they are learning how to land. Edit, as Nick said. 750 rpm is way too high for low idle.

    @SnakeDoc I assume that happened, but I can double check with Just Flight. Sorry for the confusion. It was only live for an hour or two! You guys are fast movers

    You only talk about engine parameters. What about correct spin behavior, working seatbelts and correct icing visualization and effects? Tire pressure simulation? Just wanting to point out, even if the engine simulation was perfect, there would be the next "issue". You have to keep in mind MSFS, while it may be used as a serious Sim to some degree, remains a home-user software with relatively cheap addons. For the fidelity you are looking for, only a professional sim dedicated to one aircraft could provide that, which would cost thousands. Blacksquare and A2A provide the best piston and turboprop GA addons on the market, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. If both don't fulfill your needs, nothing on the MSFS platform will.
