  1. Is the B733 update able to run in an M1 Studio machine without the need for Rosetta? If not, is this planned to be done? Thanks, I’m looking forward to trying this update.
  2. From what I can see in the text for the checklists.xml file, the pre-requisite is that the APU has not been shut down. The shut-down of the APU occurs in the "Securing" checklist, but in the middle of that checklist. Is it correct that the "Quick Turn" operation is done after the "Engine Shutdown" procedure and checklist, but before the "Securing" operation and checklist? Thanks
  3. Is there a recommended video that I can use for a tutorial for RNAV approaches (LPV, LNAV/VNAV), etc.)? There are lots of excellent videos on cockpit prep, start-up, take off, etc., with a lot of really deep systems reference. Any recommendations for similar system depth for RNAV and/or Visual (NP) approaches? This product is incredibly excellent, I have learned so much already! Thanks, Bruce.
  4. Thanks rjb, I see the nose gear door and RAT pins, thanks for the help. I had incorrectly assumed there was just the gear pin in there. This product just keeps getting better all the time!
  5. Care giving has kept me so far from trying out the new version of the CL650 released recently. I finally got to try a startup from Cold and Dark today, and I got as far as turning Hyd Pump 3A to ON, then getting with the Intent of using the switch in the external side panel (where also the AC GPU feed is plugged into), however the gear door was already open. I removed the nose gear pin, then tried to close the nose gear door with that external switch, but no movement of the nose gear door. I started again with a new air-frame, referring to the excellent tutorial video by Graeme to make sure that I did everything right- and it may be that the new version renders some of that tutorial video to be missing parts of a procedure. The first thing is the obvious gear door being already open, then the inability to close it. Is there another pin somewhere that I haven’t removed? Thanks for this excellent product!
  6. I must check this out. Is there a version specific to the XP12 release version of the CL650? Thanks for doing this.
  7. Besides being a thoroughly accurate model and having all the aspects of the real aircraft, and the fact that it's fun to fly, my limited time in the sim makes good use of the "situation save" feature. I have yet to see any lack of an accurate recovery of all the systems and data loaded, when I open up a "situation" at a later date. My question is the 28-day ARINC cycle. Am I correct that if I cycle the database to update the ARINC data, that this will have the effect of deleting flight plan information from the aircraft (if already previously entered and part of a saved situation)? The logic is that it would, since the system has no way of knowing if pre-loaded flight plan data is still valid, or even still exists. Thanks, Bruce.
  8. Thanks, will try that. I need to spend some time understanding that CCP better!
  9. I’ve been away from my XP11 for 3 weeks on personal business, so getting back into the saddle so to speak. In the checklist near the end of the cockpit prep section, there’s an item to check charts. I have previously entered my SimBrief user name into the setup menu which works well to download the flightplan that I created. That works well. When I get to the previously mentioned I checklist item to check the maps, I switch the right-hand-side MFD to MAP, and I see the map of the airport I am at and my aircraft- I subscribe to NaviGraph and I assume that is where that airport map comes from. I assumed that the checklist item wants me to check carts for all the flight (I recall vaguely that Graeme may have done this in his 6 hour video). I tried using the cursor (both inner and outer), thinking that I could scroll through the departure and other charts, but I couldn’t get past the airport map (where my aircraft is parked). I did notice that there was a vector on the initial departure leg so I eliminated that wondering if that was preventing the departure map from being displayed, but it didn’t change anything regarding scrolling to the DP chart. Maybe I don’t understand correctly how the map feature works. Thanks for any help- an awesome product to get back into XP11 with!!
