@Black-Square Thank you for the quick reply, and for trying to fix this quickly... Bug happens and it's alright, the frustrating part is that they have the fix already, and don't release it....

@Morten I wish it were so easy, unfortunately. Deciding whether to intercept and intervene in hardware input events is not something you can turn on/off on the fly. I appreciate the thought, though. As is often the case, the method I'm thinking of would actually be more realistic, with a real additional hopper tank that's fed from the main tanks. The only reason I didn't do this in the first place was because I thought it would be confusing for users looking at the native payload interface and wondering what this third fuel tank was for.

@Martyn said in engines fire discharge bottles: looks like there's an interaction clickspot issue preventing the OVRD button from being used. We are investigating that now. Other planes from other devs have had clickspot issues since SU5 and from what I am hearing it has been fixed in SU6 beta. May be worth testing in SU6 beta first to see if that is the case with this plane too before going on a wild goose chase.

When all else fails: Roll your own I dug into the Dev mode, found the B codes to send, tested them in SpadNext and then wrote my own bridge. I'd still prefer a native solution, but I didn't see a possibility of that. At least this way I control my own code.

@heyatoa This came up in another topic recently, and I have already fixed it for the next update. Thanks

I agree with the above mentioned points. I must say, i usually just excused the erratic AP behavior to it being so old and therefore less accurate but i believe thats something only a real world F28 pilot could comment on. With that being said, i have also noticed that in some occasions (maybe 40% of the time) the G/S of the ILS also oscillates and the AP has difficulty following it especially the closer you get to the runway. Again, i just excused this as the AP being old and less accurate since the margin of error gets smaller the closer you get to the runway it would make sense that a old AP would have difficulty following the GS. Maybe its intentional by JF or a bug. Regarding the speed, i set the power to HP RPM to 80% and let it descend at a speed of 280-300 and pull it idle around 12000 feet to let it slow to 250kts or less. I usually descend at 2000fpm. After 250kts its a bit more tricky to get the aircraft within the 200kts range to drop the flaps. Either i reduce the V/S to 1200-1500fpm or just extend the Speed brakes. But then again, who knows if thats accurate behavior or not. I do feel that the UNS-1 could get a little more love considering the F28 costs 70$ and is in the same price range as the Fenix, PMDG, TFDI, etc... So many features are missing which would be included in the real counterpart. I would say its probably modelled around 60% of the real one. Just the DTO page alone looks so plain compared to the real one.

I guess we can only hope. Kind Regards, Leon

Thank you

@Black-Square Thank you man! Really appreciate this feedback and offer for support. For now we're mainly on piecing the last lose ends together. Things such as the custom digital fonts we've build for all the avionics and fuel computers. A few more things need to get scripted or we need to improve. And we still have to do a lot of testing and do some polish and improve layouts where needed. I'll post a small note here when it's available on the Sim Innovations website. It can probably benefit some of your users. It will get released in both a Baron and Bonanza version. After that chances are great we'll put some time in your other products. Caravan maybe. Not sure yet.

@ramonesg I wanted to have the news update done for Monday, but my house was struck by lightning last night causing some damage, and I'm still discovering what has been fried. The strike blew some light switches straight out of the wall and across the room! Luckily, all my aircraft are safe, but my video editing computer (which I was using at the time) seems to have received some damage. Hopefully I will be back up and running with a recovered disk this week, and there was no actual damage to the hardware.

I also would prefer a config without the RNAV unit.

Okay, so now I'm confused. It seems the Pax weights in Simbrief match the ones in the EFB. But why do the pax in average weigh 77kg in the F100 but 88kg in the F70? I think also the baggage weight is different.

Oh, fantastic. Thank you!

Correct. With N high and N low being equal, torque drops as the props unfeather due to the drop of resistance as the blades move from turning at ~88° (perpendicular) to the surrounding air to a lesser value of anywhere between -4° to 17°. Thanks!

Did a flight without Beyond ATC and I can confirm everything was functioning and without a hiccup!
