I wanted to share a simple modification I made to the flight model to make an allowance for the reduced drag from the winglets. In the TorqueSim Discord channel, ProfessorCrash said the range increase is 300nm from 1100nm to 1400nm, a 27% increase in range. I therefore reduced the fuselage coefficient of drag (cd) by 27% from 0.058 to 0.049. I assumed a min cd of 0.025 (Plane Maker manual states a very sleek fuselage has a cd of 0.025) and deducted 27% from the difference between the min cd and the current cd, i.e. 0.058 - (0.27 x (0.058 - 0.025)) = 0.049. In my test flights to date, I am achieving range proportionate with ProfessorCrash's Tamarack performance graph. If you want to try this, the line to change in the CJ525.acf file is: P _body/0/_part_cd 0.0494 points

Hello, I think it is a very cool model but I am too having some problems with it. I have added landing lights, taxi lights, nav lights and strobes so now those works in XP11. The autopilot doesn't seem to work for me though and I have no idea of how to fix it. What I have tried so far hasn't worked. Also the trim tabs (all) seems very sensitive in a way, but also a bit limited. I could probably figure out how to fix that though. I have also emailed the original author, but might not get a response either. We'll see. take-care /Andy1 point
