Surprised it hasnt being posted yet. Thanks Tom great interview,

That is a good idea and I think it can be implemented as an option!

Completely agree - you really have to fly it - no "feet up, tray table out" here! I had to make a deadstick landing one time - forgot to monitor fuel levels, left engine died, sudden yaw to the right which got may attention, then the right died too, and by the time I'd checked the tanks it was too low to restart them, but managed to get the gear and flaps down and landed in a field!

Three weeks later, I'm now (virtually) in Jakarta, Indonesia. As planned, I flew the Moo via Kathmandu (VMKT) and Paro (VQPR), and then on to Lilabari (VELR), Momeik (VYMO) and Thandwe (VYTD): From Myanmar I had to fly a deadhead leg and relocated to Bangkok (VTBS). Not the best weather down there currently... Yesterday I started moving further south, delivering a well-paying VIP transport job to Jakarta. Due to time zoning, it was an all-night flight. The distance of more than 1,200NM was quite a stretch for the Moo, so I made a fuel stop at Kota Bharu (WMKC). Arriving in Jakarta, I was greeted by a thunderstorm, surrealistically lighting up the city (on final into Halim Perdanakusuma, WIHH): The next assignment will indeed take me again further south to Australia - got a bunch of VIPs headed from Jakarta to Paraburdoo (YPBO). Again that leg is too much of a stretch for the Moo (at least when observing legal reserves and some margin for weather), so I'm planning to fly this with another fuel stop - hoping to meet Santa on Christmas Island (YPXM)...

@LitjanHow can I assign it to the TOGA command? I can't find the custom command for this in the XP12 settings. the manual says that there is the command: "ixeg/733/autopilot/TOGA" but I can't find this specific command in the xp12 control settings tree

I'm currently ferrying N279MA (my Moo in FSEconomy) from Europe to Alaska. A few days ago I left Pescara, Italy (LIBP), where I picked up this airframe. Instead of using the well-trodden westbound route via Iceland, I started moving eastwards, heading for Split, Croatia (LDSP), the Abu Suwayr Air Base, Egypt (HE35, close to Ismailia), Abu Dhabi, UAE, Karachi, Pakistan, and on to the Lucknow Air Force Station, India (VIBL). From there, today's leg took me towards Nepal and the Himalaya mountains, to Pokhara. There I landed at the old downtown airport Pokhara (VNPK), not the newer and bigger Pokhara International (VNPR - not in Skyvector for unknown reason). Approaching runway 22 (all VFR, there are no published IAPs for this airport, although there's a VOR on site): After landing, shortly before exiting the runway: The next legs will take me to Kathmandu and probably Paro (can't miss that while being in the area). Not sure what I'll be doing from there on - either taking a "shortcut" through China and Russia up to Anadyr, jumping to Point Barrow from there, or going south, dawdling around Thailand, Indonesia, maybe even Australia and the moving northwards via Japan. Let's see where the FSE assignments take me

I can certainly appreciate your anticipation and eagerness for the update. Currently, we're working diligently on adapting to the intricacies introduced by X-Plane 12, especially due to its major changes affecting our unique turbine engine model. While I'd love to give you a specific timeline, we're diving deep into a comprehensive re-write on multiple levels to ensure the best possible experience for our users. Therefore, it's difficult to pinpoint a release date. All I can assure you is that we're committed to getting it right, rather than rushing it. Quality takes time. We appreciate your patience and understanding. It'll definitely be worth the wait.

Here is my temporary solution to keep Bravo correct (until the official version is out). 0) Download lua file: TB_MU2_TB_2_01.lua 1) put the lua script in the folder: ..: \ X-Plane 11 \ Resources \ plugins \ FlyWithLua \ Scripts \... 1a) Reload scripts FlyWithLua, or preferably start XP. 2) Assign the commands appropriately as I showed in the screenshot: 3) set the axis curves # 3 and # 4 as shown in the screenshot: Now after pressing button # 14 (originally TOGA), when you are close to the beta range, the Throttle axis will raise and move down slightly (no matter how long you press the button) In positions # 9 and # 10 (i.e. when you move the levers to the bottom button in your Bravo) - then the maximum Reverses will turn on. (You can now (with the press of a button) move any throttle to the Beta and REV ranges) In GUI Performance, check the option: "Auto-stop power levers at detent": It also improves the behavior that after starting the engines (from the C&D state) the "LOCKS PROP" locks remain blocked (although after starting the ENG Torque 1 and 2 indicators show RPM - and I do not know if this is correct). To release the Prop Lock, the Throttle levers must be moved to the Reverse range.
