There won't be any near-term fix, no. Longer term, yes, but we're talking probably a year plus.1 point

Agreed with Torbinator. X-Plane 12.2.0 looks fantastic. Clouds / atmosphere and ground is really top notch! The IXEG 737 Baby continues being my favourite before Zibo 737. The FPS is just so great with the IXEG and i think everything works really great (VNAV works good for me aswell). I also got rid of my wierd sound problem in external views so i can enjoy the outside views also. If there is a wishlist i would like following points: 1: Cargo version. 2: working circuit brakers Go Team IXEG!1 point

There are no add-ons that give a truly accurate representation of what Laminar is drawing for weather. The API is not yet released, but will be in 12.3. Whatever you have seen up till this point is approximation.1 point

And if I may add my 2-cents worth... that is a smart policy. So many developers (including XPlane/Laminar Research) lately are issuing incomplete "beta" products, thus turning their paying customers into unpaid testers for products still in development. I much prefer to be patient and wait until all, or most, or the bugs are ironed out and the product works according to the developer's plan. There will still be tweaks and adjustments but that way the customer is assured of getting something reasonably close to what they paid for.1 point

These are not fully complete WX radar implementations with accurate depictions. They are an attempt at something rather than nothing. We previously did the same on the TBM. It is a hack at best. You do not seem to understand the realities here. This is rather laughable regarding the CL650. Nothing else needs to be said.1 point

ATTENTION: To use this aircraft, you must own a X-Aviation product, to get Gizmo plugin. If you don't own one, please don't download this aircraft! P.180 Avanti II for X-Plane 11 - CURRENT VERSION: 2.3.0 (uploaded at: February 25th, 2020) If you want to support P.180 Avanti development, please donate here: PAYPAL v2.3.0 Main Features Compatible only with EXPERIMENTAL FLIGHT MODEL (11.40+), capable of flying up to M.67 at altitude. Terrain Radar operation via PFD/MFD buttons. Tablet for aircraft loading (engines must be off and the aircraft stationary), and access to AVITAB. Librain Support. See Change Log for more! If you don't have Gizmo already installed in your X-Plane copy, there is an version of Gizmo in the folder extra files. Put the Gizmo.plugin folder in you X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins folder. If you already have Gizmo, DO NOT SUBSTITUTE the existing one with this. MIGHT BREAK OTHER GIZMO ADDONS!!! If you find reflections too high, in the extra files folders are textures to change that. Copy the low reflections texture into the objects folder, and replace the existing one! v2.2.0.VR NOW VR COMPATIBLE with the help of SimVRLabs! OFFICIAL SUPPORT: Official Bug tracker: https://bitbucket.org/iliastselios/p180_avanti/issues?status=new&status=open Support Forums: DESCRIPTION: As you might already know this aircraft is based on X-Plane's default P.180 Avanti , originally designed for X-Plane 8, was included in X-Plane 9, and from that point has been overhauled to Avanti II version. This is aircraft is totally FREE! It is a "return" to the X-Plane community that supported us those last 4 years that we exist as a development team! This aircraft main features are: High quality visuals, cockpit all new 3D model and textures, including PBR materials. Simulated: a. startup and shutdown procedures b. engine controls and operations c. autopilot controls and operations d. partially operation of the electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, fuel systems. Emulation of Proline 21 avionics suite. Currently there is only one layout that will allow you to operate the aircraft in all scenarios. Many improvements will come in the future. Installation in the 3D cockpit of the default X-Plane 11 FMC. Improved flight characteristics. Internal custom lighting. Of course Avanti development is not stopping here! Actually the overall development will be continuous, and the aircraft will always be in beta stage. Updates and upgrades will be available frequently! Main planned future upgrades are: Adding more functionallity to Proline 21 avionics suite, heading from an emulation to a simulation. Custom NAV maps. Custom FMC. Fully simulation of all systems. New 3D model from ground up. Improved flight model. Avanti EVO. Special thanks to: Austin Meyer for giving his permission to use parts of the Avanti on this project and X-Plane by Laminar Research that gave us this magnificent simulator! The team that originally developed Avanti for X-Plane, Robert Pearson (aerodynamics), Massimo Durando (cockpit & 3D cockpit), and Javier rollon (External Model. JRollonPlanes www.jrollon.com) for his fantastic 3D work. @Hueyman for the propeller 3D model and the prop disc images. Ben Russell of Gizmo64 for his support and that made available to us that powerful tool (aka Gizmo), and Cameron Son of X-Aviation for the support. And of course X-Plane community for the interest in that project and patient to wait to be realized!1 point -
That will not be pursued. Allocating resources to this would not provide a return on investment, especially with a fully featured API on the way, ensuring proper compatibility. Developing a temporary solution in the meantime would be an unnecessary expenditure.1 point

Hi all I made a vSpeed callout LUA-script for the HotStart Challenger 650 if anyone are interested. It requires HotStart Challenger 650 v1.2 or higher. Take a look here:1 point

Greetings all, Surely there is some type of document that shows the schematics of the cockpit instruments with a listing of switches and location thereof and functionality thereof? Not only that, trying to find interactive positions on the outside of the fuselage and their functions would also be great.(Images thereof be handy where to interact). UPDATE: I downloaded the CL605 manual from SmartCockpit.com (CL650 wasn't available). Only differences are in the CL650 is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced Avionics and SVS included, redesigned interior cabin and 5% increase in thrust. The cockpit layout and instrumentation are in the same positions. https://www.smartcockpit.com/my-aircraft/bombardier-challenger-604/1 point

It's nice to see how your not fully functioning FMC is a feature of a product that doesn't need updates because it's already perfect. You haven't had any improvements or bug fixes in a very long time, and you are hiding your head in the sand, saying it's perfect already because you don't know what you're doing. It's just sad. I am sure all the people on the internet complaining about the same problems are just people who do not know what we are doing because the 737-300 is so complicated we just can't get it: my god, the ego on you. It has bugs. That's just true whether you like it or not. I own thousands of dollars of payware, and a developer who does not keep up on updates has never been a sign of a product that doesn't need updates but a developer who abandons their products. Do better.1 point

@Pils That's strange since my X-Plane navdata is up to date. But the aircraft is on an outdated airac.1 point

When Graeme says the copilot side needs to be in FMS2 he means as a navigation source, as shown on the left hand side of the PFD. It’s part of the navigation database. If you select an ILS (or LOC, I think) approach in the DEP/ARR page then it will know the frequencies to auto-tune when the time comes. This seems plausible. Unlike a Boeing or an Airbus, the Challenger will do a fixed 3° angle descent path (by default, it is overridable on a per leg basis), not an idle thrust descent. As such if you’ve manually put altitude constraints on the descent I’m not surprised they’re not exactly on the 3° path, as such the aircraft plans multiple step-downs and shows a TOD for each. There’s no need to “help” it along, it’s capable of VNAV descents all the way to the threshold. Include a screenshot of this situation if you’d like to learn more. It’s actually the opposite, if I am understanding the query correctly. Without VNAV the plane will descend to the altitude you’ve selected via the flight control panel (blue) regardless of what’s in the flight plan. With a VNAV-enabled vertical mode, even if the altitude you’ve selected is lower than what’s in the flight plan the plane will not descend past any constraints (magenta). So the throttle icons (“ghost throttle”) came up but when you move your throttle levers (what hardware?) there was no change on the overlay? That’s quite odd. The overlay should show you the position of your hardware levers when they are desynced from the virtual cockpit levers. You’re 100% sure you weren’t accidentally in reverse thrust mode as far as X-Plane was concerned? This is where a video would help also, but I’m linking to another post just for more of a description of the “ghost throttles”.1 point

Hello Marcus, Phew that's quite a bit to answer in one post. Let me try and cover it. 1) ILS approaches. Let me describe the normal method, assuming you have a FMS flight plan with an ILS approach and you've checked the lateral coding to make sure it all works. You don't need to set anything up specifically for the ILS. Loading the ILS approach should be enough. Make sure the left PFD is navigating with FMS1 and the right side is FMS2. You will have a magenta CDI indication. When you are close to the airport you'll also see blue "ghost" indications on the HSI and blue diamonds in the localiser and glideslope scales on the PFD. Typically when the final approach point is the next waypoint, press the APPR button and this will arm the system for localiser and glideslope capture. You don't need to mess with the altitude knob as long as the aircraft is actually at the ILS platform altitude (you shouldn't need to do this with a 737NG either, but that's another story). When you capture the glideslope, set the altitude for the missed approach altitude. 2) Speeds. Manual control of speeds is normal using the speed knob or manual thrust. If you have VNAV enabled you can resume the VNAV speeds using the PERF page on the FMS, but really that's a bit pointless and it's easier to fly it on the speed knob. You need to know 250 kts, 200 clean, 180 with the first stage of flaps and 160 with gear and the second stage of flaps. Select the final stage of flaps and slow to vref + 5. It's no more complex than that. Even on an Airbus with managed speeds, lots of pilots prefer selected speed modes - LNAV/VNAV and chill is very much a sim-ism and not how aircraft are actually operated. 3) It's just a machine, so isn't very likely to "freak out" as you say ;-) Bearing pointers have no influence on flying the approach, they are for the pilots reference only. I'd suggest reading (1) above carefully, then pick a long ILS approach, and post some screenshots of the aircraft level at the platform prior to intercept, and another couple of pics on the approach. Suggest EDDF 25L via CHA VOR - grab a screenshot flying level at 4000ft between CHA and LEDKI, and another on the ILS at 3000ft, and another at 1500ft - make sure we can see the full PFD clearly.1 point
