I own many (more than I care to mention) payware aircraft and even after this short period of time I have to say this is the FINEST aircraft I have ever purchased! Period! Flight model, Modelling, response, Frame Rates, etc. The Best Purchase yet. My first purchase from X-aviation was the IXEG and I still fly that very very often. I have several Airbus from various developers, The TBM, SAAB, etc. I back in the day had the PMDG NG. I thought there would never be another like the TBM but this aircraft is Epic! Kudos to all involved! Yes the manual issue and lack of tutorial like the TBM is not there. I got spoiled I guess. But I find myself actually learning more and being more attentive than I have with any other Aircraft. I just recently had some acceptable landings but I still drift alot on my touchdown. That is all me, not the aircraft and I look forward to getting better and better. I did experience an issue with the Steering for taxi on one airport that was downloaded from the Xplane site. I believe it was not the plane but the designer. Even though the parking area looked paved it was more of a Gravel type coloring. Possibly this was an issue with not being able to move and just spin. I moved to another parking area and all seemed well. I am really looking forward to Grame to do more of his excellent videos. I learned tons from him with the IXEG and TBM. Once again, High Praise to all involved. I look forward to any updates to come. In the meantime, I will logging many of hours in my now favorite.

Might change your title To answer your question, I come across this regularly. What I do is the following: Switch off FLC mode to VS and lower it initially down to 500 ft/min. Reset the ATS using the disconnect commands. Watch the IAS indicator, once it gets closer to the actual set speed, you should be able to turn on ATS again. What I find to be the issue is when the N1 cannot be matched for the same speed. I end up in a super high AOA and the speed slowing down as it tries to keep the VNAV. It is similar to previous posts by Graeme where he states "lower the nose, get the speed up and then re-engage". Do note, on some climbs, I cannot go back into FLC mode at all, it immediately has problems. So I just monitor the N1 and if ATS is holding the 250/M.72 IAS at a lower than N1 max (purple value) then I add a few hundred FPM to the climb. Eventually she levels off and all is golden and I can go back fully into ATS. Only once at 40k, did I have to actually lower the overall speed from M.80 to M.78 due to the same issue.

Thoroughly enjoying (and learning) this fantastic aircraft! If anyone would be willing to create a Rectrix livery (the original was a 604), it would be much appreciated.

First I am so very happy trying to learn this plane coming from a Cessna 172 but will get there. I am using the TBM as my stepping stone and so far so good. I have been using VR in X-Plane since January 9th 2018 when I got my first headset which was a Vive and have had many headsets since. I set the floor height by setting my headset on the floor and telling SteamVR the the floor height is 0. This has worked fine for all the aircraft I have used so far till the 650 which you can see from the pictures. If I move up out of my chair so the headset is between 5 and 10 inches higher the plane comes into full view. I am not a 3d modeler but I hope this info will help resolve this issue for me. Thanks for taking the time to read my post Bill

I dont remember what the defaults are. You can change it in the FMS under IDX->Defaults. Im using .78/290 at the moment for the descend phase.

I get what you're saying, and I'm aware of 135/91 standard practice. Just saying it would be a nice feature.

I apologize for the tone.

Hi, Could we get a maintenance feature whereby we can call maint to fix parts of the aircraft or service bottles, etc.? A bit like we already do with the de-ice truck?

While we look into this, don’t use the same checklist menu/command/bind for quick turn, use the button on the DCP.

In VR the trim switches on the yoke do not move which is used for part of the checklist. They will highlight but no movement. Any idea on a workaround to get this working or am I the only one with this issue.

Hello Paul, unfortunately a firm ETA cannot be offered at this time. All efforts are currently focused on pushing the first update out over coming days. Once the update is out and everything is stable work may progress on the paintkit. In the meantime, a blank livery is available in the repaint section of this forum which may be customised using your preferred paint software. Best regards

Hi @K4bel123 you are welcome, and also thank you for your solution. Happy to hear that X-Plane.prf is the only file that need to be deleted.

Couldn't we have a least the default XP weather radar? It's better than nothing, it's a bit disappointing that such a great product is lacking this essential tool that we use quite extensively in real life (really love this product btw, specially as I am working on my CL65 type rating)

Ah yes as an Alaskan I can confirm

Er, zombies 1, muchimi 0. I had to go outside and close the panel after the fuel guy didn't make it.

Don't use time acceleration, it messes up the systems of this plane as it calculates many things in real time. If you want to cheat, instantly realign the ins by study->ins->realign irus immediately in the challenger menu.

ATC may not like being told to be quiet. ATS can remain on and it will automatically pull back at around 50ft as you pull back.

An update to the software is in the works, a fix for this issue will be included.

You could be a little more appreciative of the time @Graeme_77 has put forward to try and help you learn this product...free of charge on his behalf. There is not likely to be something like an FCOM found with a real aircraft. Bombardier owns this material and sells it for thousands of dollars, or included with a $30 million purchase. We are not authorized to re-distribute this at all. It's 7,000 pages too, by the way. Along with @Graeme_77, there is also several video series of operating the aircraft complete with explanations by @skiselkov. Most customers have taken to this to learn the product and get along quite well. I do not expect anyone to understand everything here in a day, but exploring and learning through watching the series is rewarding. This is the answer we are able to give you now. Your impatience is evident, so there's your "right now" answer. I have never once looked through any manual for any car I have bought. This is probably not a great example. Ironically for things like this I'd default to YouTube, of which there's also a ton of livestream content to soak in as well for the 650. @Graeme_77 is a volunteer of his time. Please be respectful of his willingness to assist you considering he is not officially a Hot Start developer. He's an extremely knowledgable, kind person who is trying to help you and was gracious enough to help beta test this product before it went to market. He receives no money from this product. There's enough info in this thread to lock it for the time being. Please, use the free training videos out there at your leisure and learn best you can. If you are unable to make sense of something, post here and any of us will be happy to further explain things to you short of sending you thousands of dollars worth of copyrighted Bombardier manuals.

It’s not a manual, but I’ve addressed the fuelling stuff and basic FBO interaction in my first video, which shows the initial procedures, up to the point you’d transfer to the simulated FO. 25 minutes or so that should help any new 650 driver get started, further videos will follow too.

another quick update. Not much has changed since the last report, except I'm a whole lot further along on my MU2 project than I was at last report. X-Plane is still full time work for me and I'm making steady progress towards returning to this guy. Jan is standing by for the aftermath of the MU2 release when we jump back onto this guy full time and work the FMC and other 3D for a good while I'm sure. I suspect we'll be back on the IXEG by the summer months. -tkyler

Just had to post a big thank you for this one, only saw it a while back, waiting for the XP11 update then purchased.....really am liking this....looks great ......tutorial and POH are very useful, Carenado take note......did first full flight today from EHBK to EGGD and was very pleased with it, seems a handful and always wants to roll to the right but I have read that the real one is like that....great work, my only issue is I can't get my Saitek TPM to go to reverse, but that is probably something my end......great flight today, setup, navigation, autopilot, capture ILS all went as expected....thank you.....
