Ah ok... I tried CTRL C very quickly and could see the tablet trying to change the GPS, but it still ended up back at the default 650/750.

Interesting, it was happening repeatedly to me, and after several startup and shutdown cycles since I had done a few flights without going back to the menu. Notes I should have included in my first post: using the Cargomaster, MSFS 2024 SU4 release, and yes the tablet to manually trigger the failure. I had thought it would be in an area using common code across variants, but I did not actually test that. Is there anything I can do to help troubleshoot it? The first time I triggered the failure was actually the longest it took to happen; I had a few seconds to play with the throttle and see there was no engine response, and right around when I moved the emergency lever was when it died. I had thought I had done something wrong until I noticed both fuel tanks were at zero. Subsequent failures of the FCU produced quicker, but not quite immediate results. Sometimes it would instantly zero, on at least one occasion I saw the tanks empty in a few discrete steps.

@FlightEngineer1 yes, I'm aware of ai.cfg. I have used this to enable and tune (to an extent) autopilots in planes that don't have them natively, with mixed success but usually well enough to pass muster. This often also entails adding an autopilot electrical circuit to systems.cfg, and checking engines.cfg (why there?) to make sure that the param DisableAutopilotControls=0; sometimes a dev will explicitly set it to 1 and then no autopilot. Maybe I'm just old and slightly bitter at this point, but I have no faith that Asobo will ever address this, are aware of it, or even know what they're doing in this regard. There are core algorithm parameters that were REQUIRED when I was doing industrial process control PIDs, which are utterly absent here. Which brings into question the form of the equation they are using. They're never going to expose the maths, and I have better things to do.

Agh, that section of code was just a mess, so I rewrote it. There was little code left from the Analog Caravan, but that was some of it. Should be all better now. Thanks.

In the 1997 revision of the Caravan I POH that I based my work on, I have the standard empty weight of Cargomasters S/N 208B0179-208B0381 and associated STC's at 4,040 lbs, including the cargopod. Of course, all aircraft have different equipment installed from the factory, and have many modifications over the years that impact empty weight, but perhaps this came from a confusion over the inclusion of the cargopod, which weighs around 150 lbs. Would you like me to adopt this new 4,040 lbs number? I will promise not to refer anyone who complains about the loss of 115 lbs useful load to you

This is something inherent to how I implement my turbine engine simulation on top of the native engine simulation. I've briefly entertained adding a compensation for time acceleration in my code, but I'm not actually sure it would behave the same on every computer, since I think it has more to do with the simulation polling rate than the time acceleration itself. In the meantime, this effect should not be limited only the fuel flow, but the entire engine simulation, so adjusting the power lever position at your desired time acceleration should yield correct performance and fuel burn results.

Just did a quick test, with stress damage disabled you can "open" the door without crashing. By open i mean the door does barely open due to wind. Only a small gap will be visible. And of course the sound does change. I do not use OnAir but if it stress damage is not mandatory this is the solution.

@jmarkows Oh. I used the search in my PDF viewer and it didn't find that section! Weird. Thanks!

@mtmikepsl said in Fuel amount not correct: Looks like the fuel reads 2010 lbs of fuel max. Where are you seeing this number?

@Black-Square Thank you! After browsing through my app data folder, found that the HOBBS meter is saved in the state.cfg C:\Users\<my user name> \AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\bksq-aircraft-bonanzapro\state.cfg [engine.0] accumulated_time=1.703573 --- this was my last flight accumulated_time_hobbs=19 --- this I set manually and this displays on the instrument

@C525B said in Heating too weak?: @jmarkows I think it's that the cabin shouldn't be cooling down as fast as it is, once airborne. There's residual heat, plus systems and passenger bodies that continue to contribute heat to the environment. I think I see what you mean now. In flight at 7000, OAT is about 10C, and all that solar heating effect on the ground seems to be gone.

@Black-Square said in Rudder trim wheel: Sorry if I sound obstinate, but I've been down this road of checking the trim wheel directions for each aircraft I release, haha. Upon further investigation, I feel so silly for even bothering you with it. I was playing around with it a bit more today and was about to record a video because I was sure that even at a very low speed it was flip flopping on rotation direction when I thought to look at the side of the wheel. The four screws on the side of the trim wheel confirm everything you said, my sincerest apologies again for the hassle.

@Black-Square Nick, do you know what .flt file it would use for spawning on a random water location? Could you give me the code for a line in said file to have the inertial separator loaded in set to bypass instead of normal? I want to see if that has an effect. Of course, finding out which .flt file is in use might be half the answer, anyway.

Nothing is wrong with your install. I experience the same when using the KLN90B autopilot. The display shows nothing, even though the autopilot appears to function, although with no annunciations. As soon as I hot-swap the KLN90B to, for example, the GNS530 suite, all of a sudden, all annunciations come back.

Nick, please, a little update or beta test opportunity ,-)

Agree, would be great to be able to have the speeds in km/h!
