OK this came clear don't know how but its working

Can you elaborate? In what way is it "stupid?" It should be exactly where you left it. You can also always just save a cold & dark state and reload it every time you want a clean jet set up the way you want it. That's cause you turned on the probe heats while on the ground with no airflow over the (non-aspirated) TAT probe housing. The TAT probe goes "--" once the temperature it reads hits about 70°C. This is behavior reproduced from the real jet. This is also why Bombardier tell you not to rely on the temperature indications on the PFD for PERF INIT and use ATIS or METAR data instead.

the nose wheel inop shows with the switch on if steering switch is off inop warrening goes away but still no controll of the tiller.

how do i correct DCA fail

Re: Altimeter- the sim tends to get a bit stupid after a few visits in persistent mode- I prefer to sets cold dark each time to avoid that. On a positive note, I’m real good at tweaking all my prefs though- lol. *also- lots of times in persistent mode, the temperature indicators in the PFD are yellow dashed out…

Thanks for quick reply. I’ve done it in the real airplane at KAFW (34R) and KGPI (20). KGPI, setup ILS 02, SKOTT transition. Keep it in Nav/Vnav until a few miles from HOTRU. Sec flight plan: Setup Visual to runway 02, modify it to give a 3 mile final. Put PLAN screen on MFD 2 and leave FMS 2 displaying Sec flight plan. (You should see the Activate button on lower right corner. Do not activate it yet. Fixes are RX02 (twice) and RW02. Now you are looking at ILS02 on MFD/ FMS 1, and the Visual to 20 on MFD/FMS 2. Approaching HOTRU, select APPR to arm the approach and set 4500’. Airplane switches to green needles and starts down on the ILS. You should be gear down, flaps 30, 150knots. Once decent is established, switch to HDG/ VS and switch NAV source to magenta/ long range nav. Airplane will capture 4500’ (pattern altitude on a clear day). Turn HDG left about 20 degrees and head toward downwind. On FMS 2, Activate the Visual approach/ Sec flight plan. (For good SA, I have previously put a 3nm fix off of RW20- dashed blue circle). When almost abeam and about 2.5nm from RX20, select NAV, VNAV, Alt selector to Zero. Airplane turns to the fix and SHOULD display magenta VNAV reference with snowflake (in the sim, instead of making a Sec flight plan, if I replace the ILS with the visual, I get the reference/ snowflake, when swapping flight plans, I do not). If you are high, VS down to intercept the VPATH. She flies a picture perfect visual. So. Replacing the ILS when on the downwind works, but swapping flight plans provides no vertical reference, only lateral. Swapping the flight plans is preferred as it’s fewer button presses in the pattern plus the first flight plans (ILS 02) now becomes Sec so if you need that for the miss, you can simply activate it. I go to KGPI all the time and circle to 20 about half the time, this is really helpful. Gotta make it 3nm to keep you away from the rocks. Works left or right downwind.

Have to change to using Rosetta

Hello everybody Until recently I was using the LED Saab 340 on an iMac M1 and the Gizmo plugin needed for activation and the various checklists etc worked just fine. I have now updated to a iMac M4 machine and all of a sudden the Gizmo plugin does not show up anymore when loading the aircraft. I have tried a complete reinstall of the plane but with no result. Does anybody now what the problem here could be? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Daniel

Short but important: Where are the manuals?! I've searched in vain. Apparently there are very comprehensive ones, but where?

Welcome. Let's work on refining the details here. The way you describe it, I don't see why it shouldn't work in the sim already, so there's probably some step you're doing that's missing. Let's build up a specific test case so I can analyze what's going on in detail: which airport what is the original STAR+approach+runway selection in the ACT FPLN what exactly do you have entered in SEC FPLN? exactly where do you switch to HDG/ALT and what are the heading & altitude you fly then the exact sequence of button presses or mode changes you do - when do you activate SEC FPLN, what changes do you perform to the activated flight plan? crucially - what exact sequence of button presses leads to VNAV not activating as you expect it to - what modes do you expect to see? What do you see instead? Basically, I need an almost robotic sequence of steps, so I can repeat them on my machine and see the problematic behavior you're describing. Yeah, this has been on my pile of little things to fix for a while. I know the real avionics should default to inches of mercury rather than hPa, but I figured it's not a big deal for folks using persistent airframes (once changed with an airframe, it sticks).

The FMS and VNAV are superb. One thing I noticed (and I do this in the real plane), if one flies an ILS or RNAV with intent to circle, I like to build the visual approach to the intended runway of landing in a secondary flight plan. I switch to HDG/ ALT to begin the circle, then activate the SEC flight plan (visual), go Direct to the RX fix, then select Nav/VNAV, dial the Alt selector to zero, (adjust with VVS is above vertical profile) then the jet flies a picture perfect visual approach (one can assign speeds to the visual fixes also to let ARS handle that). In Version 1.8, it will do this, BUT when activating it in this manner, VNAV does not work. The workaround is to build the Visual in the Active flight plan but don’t activate it until committed to circle- in this scenario it’s all there, VNAV and all. The benefit of doing it the first way is that the original approach then becomes Secondary and can be activated promptly in the event of needing the published Miss. On the request front, can we start with the Altimeter in Baro? I'm happy to answer real world CL650 questions or to beta test new versions. I have three copies on three machines- 2 Windows PCs and a M4 MacBook Pro. I fly S/N 5911- technically a 60( but with the PL21 Advanced, HUD and triple IRS/FMS.

I made a ticket 3 days ago still no respons ill keep waiting but would be nice to get some info since I spent 124 dollars on the product. If I can do anything else to get in contact with them let me know, have a good day!

I second that 100% ! What has been done about the new weather radar helps a lot to avoid TS and severe Turb (it was already the case with some addons before but now as a matter of fact (even if we are still in beta), it is much more accurate in terms of depiction in the skies, especially by night, it helped me twice to avoid huge cell TSRA, one flying the FF772 last update LFPO/SOCA and the other, flying the Baron 58/REP VFR ) I also recall that I've been stuck in TS/severe icing condition by night flying the CL650 and I almost crashed before regaining control of the aircraft 8000 ft below LFPQ/ENSR IVAO , a MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY was sent out to the ATC, no radar on board, the great CL650, now grounded, lost its certification based on BEA investigations "Violation of safety regulations " Shame on me! I tried to accuse @Cameron but his lawyers were stronger than mine, far enough! Otherwise I entirely understand that it is a complex addon which deserves more time to make that new weather radar fully functional, so I'll be patient! Can't wait, keep up the good work devs! All my support!

Tkyler, Appreciate the update on your activities with Laminar. That is good news for everyone using XP. Look forward to your future work with the B737! Thanks! Rich Boll

ok ill check

Thanks!

I would humbly argue that it does warrant an update as it is a critical feature involved in all phases of flight. That said, I know 12.3 is only in beta, and just barely at that. I do understand that it will take time to integrate this new feature into what already is the most accurate and thoroughly simulated aircraft in the market (which got to this state because it was done right instead of rushed). I'm just very excited to have a weather radar that actually performs a volumetric scan and correctly depicts what is scanned. As long as it will happen at some point, consider me happy.

Hello, The aircraft is brand new, but I already regret spending the money! Immediately after setting it up, the cabin heating and defrosting cannot be operated. Even after recalibrating the pedals, the rudder still does not work! I would prefer to return the machine and get a refund. The interior also looks cheap; for the money, I'm used to much better! The missing functions are unacceptable. How can I fix this? Edit: Roll and pitch are also damaged! Edit 2: That was my mistake! Unfortunately, I started the wrong aircraft! With the correct aircraft and the appropriate joystick and throttle settings, it works perfectly. But one thing is absolutely impossible! The excessive reflections on the windscreen and plexiglass canopy cannot be turned off! You can't fly like this! I can't imagine that this corresponds to reality! No other aircraft in my fleet has such strong reflections! This absolutely must be changed. I can't fly the aircraft like this! I searched unsuccessfully for an option in the aircraft menu. Many other providers have solved this better, namely with reflections that can be turned off. Screenshots attached. It should be like the rear window! I found this: https://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/42131-heavy-reflections/ It helps temporarily. Thank you for that.

Greetings, Do you have a timeline when this will be added to your creations......B737, CL650? Thanks.

Any news now? Any set date on when to begin 717 work again?
