My initial impression is that TOW is quite heavy for EGLC, and flap 18 is quite a low flap setting. I just set up a basic EGLC-LSZH flight plan on Simbrief with the RJ100, and opened the Takeoff Performance calculator. For EGLC, it has given me a maximum runway weight of 40,100kg and a Flap 30 takeoff at that weight. That is also with TOGA MAX selected on the TRP. For reference, some airlines would actually takeoff from EGLC with Flap 33 selected! Quite the unique quirk of the RJ. Mark - Just Flight

@chipper_skipper I have to hit the AP twice to get the alarm off.

Hi, I do not have the PMS. Only have what comes with the package. It's completely a matter of hit or miss. The same config sometimes yields to a successful ILS capture, sometimes the ILS does not capture. Yes, the indications are fine, the needles move as they should, but HDG mode remains active, APP remains armed but not activated. So far I only noticed this behavior when I was using a config which included the KNS81 RNAV computer, in which case, the issue happened more than 50% of the time. Yes, I always use the NAV 1 radio for the ILS approach, change the NAV source well in advance, change HSI source, the DME source. Everything is well prepared for the capture. I also tend to use HDG mode to intercept the localizer, even when my RNAV waypoint could achieve the same, I switch to HDG mode and expect the LOC to take over - but it does not happen consistently. I never noticed this before I started to use the RNAV computer. In the early BS days, the RNAV computer wasn't working with the autopilot and so I never chose a RNAV panel config - never experienced the problem of non-captured ILS either. But since I bought the new Baron, and since then the Duke, knowing the RNAV can be used with the autopilot, I actually use it a lot - and interestingly, the issue with the ILS appeared. Therefore, I dare to say this behavior is somehow related to the RNAV system and its methods of utilizing the autpilot. Perhaps 3rd party scnery also play a role here (I only fly to 3rd party scenery, never use stock ones, except for those "enhanced" ones). So it may be more than just one thing.

@toucan08 said in DH98 MSFS2020, Cockpit View: Perhaps I need to go to MSFS forums with more traffic. I'm not sure there is a Mosquito for MSFS yet. What software are you referring to?

Unfortunately, as is the case with all releases, we won't have a release date until development and testing is complete. That's still ongoing but the title is progressing towards completion. It is a complicated aeroplane and we are keen to ensure that it releases in the best condition possible for our customers. The good news is that there is no need to visit our website daily (although the traffic is helpful) - you can sign up to be notified of release here: https://www.justflight.com/email-when-available?product=f70-100-professional

@Black-Square The more I scroll through fs forums, the more glad I am that I went into flying planes over developing simulated ones...

@Iconography Didn't know that was a work around, thank you!

Stand down everyone. I figured it out. Well, not so much 'figured' but stumbled upon it. You know the saying 'If you throw enough s**t at the wall, some of it will stick'? That the method I used.

@Black-Square Thank you for the clear and honest explanation — that makes perfect sense now. I understand the limitation of MSFS using a single, rather crude crash detection system for multiple failure cases, and why this forces a compromise. While it’s not entirely satisfying from a realism standpoint, I appreciate the transparency and the fact that this is a platform limitation rather than a design choice. Thanks again for taking the time to explain it in detail.

@SadBucket I think the option (and I'm a great believer in options!) to simply remove by tablet is great for those that maybe think they have a ground crew for doing those things. That actually brings up something I don't know: do biz jet pilots remove the covers and things? How deep a preflight do they do? I had a buddy who flew in east Africa for the Red Cross for years and he told me about the flying but never once mentioned doing a preflight. I drove school bus for 30 years and my stories never mention the 10 minutes doing the pretrip inspection that we all had to do every morning. @Black-Square I guess I'm missing something when setting the park brake - I'll try that ASAP. edit: Got it!! A small possible wrinkle would be having to be within a certain radius of a removable element; it would lend more credence to walking around doing the preflight. Why be able to reach 20' to remove a cover? Okay, we can't jump up on the wing (can we?!) to remove the intake covers so there has to be a compromise. Have a great day. Bob

Some of the central components of this sim are actually out of the cockpit of the Baron that I flew. [image: 47f92613-787e-412b-a778-70911a36a087.jpg]

Clear, thank you for explanation. Next time I will try a less windy ramp to verify.

This sounds like something Just Trains Support could help with: https://www.justtrains.net/support

Ok thanks, I'm happy with that quick answer ---Louis cyyc

PMS sounds like a headache lately. I've been hearing people having issue's when the PMS is installed and not even being used.

@Black-Square I would much prefer a fleet of every model of the king air

@django1489 Not a problem and understandable. Nag away

Thanx for the feedback mate, good luck with your endeavour.

@ThargorV8 @Black-Square With Vatsim and SI, GNA 340 works perfectly, just make sure you have the VATSIM "Monitor all" option on in the tablet options (I forget the exact name of the setting...). One thing I do want to mention is that I've noticed many addon liveries seen to cause the aircraft light's to appear brighter and a few other graphic anomalies despite them saying they are compatible with msfs2024. Frustrating, but I've been happy with the default liveries in the meantime.
