@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.

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.

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!

Thank you

Very glad to see and let anyone else know the bundle is up!

@Mark Hi Mark. Does the update include a fix for the autopilot pitch bug? Where you need to turn a pitch control mode on and off for the pitcg trim to work properly while autopilot is turned on?

Resurrecting this one! Is there any hope of getting 'hot swapping' sorted by WT?

Terrain returns aren't currently simulated with the weather radar functionality. We did initially do some work on that feature prior to release, but ran into a few roadblocks. It's currently logged on our internal feature request tracker and something we would like to add in a future update. Mark - Just Flight

Thank you for the feedback. We'll log that on our internal trackers to investigate ahead of the next update to the F28 Professional. Mark - Just Flight

Thank you for the feedback. We have passed this on to our livery artists for evaluation. Mark - Just Flight

I believe we only simulate direct hold entries in the UNS-1. Mark - Just Flight
