  1. Fair enough! To be clear, I'm not questioning your personal expertise on things MU2...just thought I'd mention my recollection since you've indicated before that some of the engine stuff is still work-in-progress. I see now that it's hard to prove anything because you'd need a video that clearly shows the position of the power levers, and that always seems to be out of frame.
  2. Tom, can you check this please? I think the props should not be strictly governed to 70% in reverse, with the CLs to TAXI. This is based on my two flights in the right seat of an MU2 IRL (and also having watched basically every MU2 cockpit video on YouTube while up with my newborn the last few weeks). I think there is a rise in RPM when the pilot goes to the reverse range to take the props off the locks. I also recall that moving the CLs to TAXI while still in reverse on rollout keeps the RPM up...until the point where the PLs are advanced towards ground idle.
  3. @tkyler Need to refine the feedback from my OP. The GTN and GNS will show proper deflection on the CDI provided that "Connect GPS to VOR" is selected on the RXP menu. So that is an issue with the GTN/GNS.ini as shipped. However, the course slews to to the DTK regardless of any RXP options, so that's a problem for the round-gauge cockpit where you'd be having to set the HSI course yourself (but you already knew that). Am I correct in assuming that the GPS/LPV glideslope does not integrate with the Sperry avionics for an RNAV LPV approach? My recollection from flying a C501 IRL with a GNS530 (Sperry panel and AP otherwise) is that the GNS still drove the G/S indication to "half-up" on the test page. That makes sense to me as all the NAV/GS inputs are run through the Garmin. Unfortunately, I can't remember if we ever flew LPV approaches on the 501...
  4. Thanks, Tom. Just to confirm, is it correct that my version file is showing 2.1.0 when the installer was pointed to an XP11 directory?
  5. Proud new Moo owner here. First off, I am still in XP11. I was under the impression that the latest installer will detect this correctly and install 2.0.4, however the version file in the aircraft folder shows 2.1.0. FYI. The issue I am having is that the HSI CDIs (both sides) are not responding correctly to any of the RXP units when the CDI mode is set to GPS. Ground-based navigation is working as far as I have tested (briefly). I have tried all-GNS and all-GTN configurations. The deviation bar does not deflect (except during the initial test where it correctly shows half-left). During the test, the CDI course also sets itself to 150, but it does so regardless of my auto-slew preference on the RXP menu. After continuing past the test page, the course re-sets to an arbitrary value (024 or something, already forgot), and will be frozen. Rolling the course knob increments the digital readout but not the needle. Also, FYI, I didn’t touch any of the shipped GTN/GNS.ini settings at first, but I did check them while troubleshooting.
  6. I would like to follow this discussion. @Goran_M, could I have Discord invite please? I agree closely with EGT's comments. I last flew the TBM in earnest more than a year ago, and I remembered it needed bootful of right rudder on takeoff, which seemed realistic (real pilot here, have flown a single engine turboprop, just not a TBM). There is significant instability using the standard flight model, experimental FM + some aggressive joystick curves improves this situation. However, the left-turning tendencies are now subdued to the point of being regressive, as I end up using some left pedal on every takeoff.
  7. Ah I didn't realize. The mags were probably on at that point.
  8. 1.1.0. If I open the pilot's door, a warning buzzer sounds continuously. It appears to be connected to the hot battery bus, as this happens even with all power off. Is this operating correctly?
  9. When I ran the update, the installer deleted my entire BN-2 aircraft folder as well. This is the only X-Aviation installer I have seen do that.
  10. TorqueSim BN-2 Islander Channel Islands Aviation (US) N55JA View File There are two versions of this paint included. The 2005 version has just a small logo on the tail, whereas the current version has a bunch of additional decals. About N55JA: Channel Islands Aviation is based in Camarillo, CA (KCMA) and operates this BN-2 Islander to dirt airstrips located on three of the California Channel Islands: Santa Cruz, San Miguel, and Santa Rosa. Access to these islands is very limited as they are designated as a nature preserve, and CIA is the only civil operator permitted to land aircraft on the islands. Aside from bringing limited numbers of tourists, CIA's BN-2 is important to the scientists and Park Rangers who work on the islands. Normal runs are made from KCMA (if you have GPB500's CMA scenery...their FBO next to the restaurant at the SE corner), but KOXR and KSBA are close to the islands, too. CIA does offer the aircraft for charter, so it would also be reasonable to fly to the islands from anywhere in SoCal. If you like to be realistic with online ATC, call yourself CHN55 ("Channel 55"). Grab these nice sceneries for the islands below. A couple of these strips are much more challenging than the others...

  12. Fun add-on, thanks for the work and the continued improvements! I would like to note a couple issues for the bug list: - The range keys on the GNS530 appear to be reversed when the RXP GNS is installed - The HSI shows a flag that says "HDG" when it should say "NAV". On a Bendix HSI, the HDG flag is opposite the NAV flag, on the upper right. It appears when the gyro or flux gate loses power, and momentarily while you are slewing the compass card manually. Also, there are no GS flags on that unit...with no signal, the GS pointers will simply be hidden from view.
  13. I'll add that I just read N1K's thread and watched his video. I am seeing different issues than shown there.
  14. Saab 340 V1.51 in XP11.26. I've noticed that the props can't obtain the full ~1400 RPM below 80 knots. They just won't come on the governors without a ton of airspeed. At 100% TQ, the best I see is 1225 RPM. Likewise, on final, the props will fall off the governors well before I reduce power for the flare. A separate issue: when transitioning between GND IDLE/beta and FLT IDLE during taxi, I see some huge swings in ITT (often shooting up suddenly to 1000 deg) and the prop RPM swings up to like 1300. My throttle quad is an old Saitek and it's getting kinda spikey, so I disabled those axes and used the mouse to manipulate the P/Ls but had the same result.
