Been learning/flying the CL650 over the past couple of weeks and thought I'd seen largely everything it had to offer. Then I get an oil pressure warning as we approach Skiathos. Turns out we should be checking the oil before each flight. As a RW pilot, I know this but am flabbergasted to see it modelled in the CL650. I've been simming for the best part of 40 years and have seen nothing like this. The rest of the industry really needs to see how far up the bar has been puished and attempt to rise to the challenge. Anyway, my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all behind this wonderful aircraft. Owain

Quick update - the camo version pattern is proving to be quite a challenge! So I tried another one, a bit simpler - this is G-AMPY, somewhere over southern England.

I flew a corporate run for a fractional owner

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)...

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 had the same problem some time ago. Check your Joystick CWS deadzone slider setting , it´s above the Sound sliders in the IXEG Menu. My setting was at "0" and i changed it to something around "20" .
