Makes absolute sense! Thank you, Pils for this explanation and enlightening insights. I was not aware of the degree of "intelligence" this plane demonstrates.... It is very rare that I touch the date settings when starting a flight, unless I need to see snow and ice.... However it seems not to be possible to update the date after loading a saved state and changing it in the flight settings to save it then. I have tried, but when resuming nothing changed (probably why it is called "resume"...). But also a "start new flight" after changing the date AND location did not get rid of the MARCH indication. It seems I have to restart the whole procedure and use today´s date, then save a few states for backup purposes, like Cold and Dark, APU running, ready for engine start etc.pp. Again, thank you for your help, Pils, and have a great weekend with family and friends. Cheers Juergen

Sorry, but I thought the secondary data base is actually the one used by the FMS, and my Flightplan is based on 2206, so I guess they should be the same, right? And then wat does the request to check the dates mean, please? Thank you for some more detail, Pils....

I found this thread when searching for the title and could in the meantime update my AIRAC circle to 2206. I was able to copy the line from LSK2L to the scratch pad and then into LSK3L. However when trying to paste that data back into the scratch pad and from there into LK3L I get an error "INVALID ENTRY" followed by "CHK DATA BASE DATES", see screenshots attached... What should I do to update the line for the secondary data base LSK3L? I am turning in circles at the moment...

Thank you ois650 for your reply and the answers provided. I am aware of that nearly 7 hour video and it is very instructive, but far too long for a beginner and/or newbie. It could however be used as a basis for such a tutorial as I had it in mind, Chuck style so to speak I appreciate your efforts and dedication put into this extraordinary plane and I can assure you that you have set a new standard for high level addons for ANY platform. And being lazy myself in that respect, I know how difficult it is to take notes during that kind of work for later use as a guideline for others..... However I am glad you find my idea for a "Chuck style" tutorial not completely stupid and hope that you can convince the rest of the team to put some resources into such a tutorial. Have great weekend and a good start into the new week. Take care and stay safe! Cheers

Even if this is an older discussion I would like to support the request for a more appropriate documentation for such a pricy addon. What about a tutorial flight describing in sufficient detail the steps to perform to fly the plane from the delivery in CYUL to another airport not too far away? That would not require a full size "manual" nor technical documentation, just a simple description - if possible with illustrations - of the actions the pilot needs to do to accomplish this first flight. And that should also not infringe any copyright or ask too much time for one of the developers or beta testers to write, I guess. Something in the style of this famous series of Guides (Chuck´s Guides) would even be better :-) Please give the newbies more help to get going Cheers Scorpio47

Thank you, Ilias, for your prompt reply and the confirmation that there is nothing "wrong" with my setup and Gizmo As to that speed limit, I shall watch out more carefully in the future and hope to avoid engine burn out. But even if I might not need it, I would still be interested to know the proper way to restart an engine in flight.... Thanks again and σας ευχαριστώ Jürgen

Thank you, Ilias, will do that for sure. So far I had this twice, but today I could fly for about 150 NM without any incident. Will be alert for another one if it happens. Thank you for that video, I will watch it and certainly learn a lot more about this wonderful airplane! Have a good week and take care Juergen EDIT after my last flight: The engines worked flawlessly, only at FL310 the left engine indication showed a jitter when I went above 67%, below that value all was fine. Furthermore after touch down a window opened, triggered by Gizmo with a warning in red letters. Unfortunately I did not take a screenshot, but it mentioned something was not found in connection with OnUpdate.... For your information I have attached my log file .... THANK YOU for your help and support Cheers Juergen Log.txt

I have experienced twice in the last days the loss of my left engine for no apparent reason. The right engine continued normally. I tried to restart the engine but that did not work. What is the correct procedure for restarting an engine while in flight, please? Thank you, Ilias, for this crucial information and perhaps a hint where i can find a tutorial or checklist for that situation, if you know of one. Otherwise, thank you again for an excellent plane! Cheers, Scorpio47

Hello Ilias, thank you for this quick update! It solves my problem! :-) Yesterday I made my first flight with it and about 10 minutes after take off my lef engine died for no obvious reason.... So, I was looking for some guidance in the form of a manual or tutorial videos, but could not find any particular reference to engine management. In early 2020 you wrote here: "I should apologize because I don't have any documentation covering the aircraft. I might do a "tutorial" like video to show a few things special to Avanti and how you should operate the aircraft." Is that still true? Any more concrete plans? Thank you again for your dedication and the excellent work you have done for this unique aircraft. Best wishes Jürgen

Yes, all very nice.... BUT: when can we expect to be able to purchase that long awaited bird? Any news on that?

Generally speaking competition is a good thing, and PMDG will certainly raise the levels in many respects I think. I for one am looking forward to this entry of PMDG into the X-Plane arena, but I do hope that they also will respect our tradition in pricing

Very good, just the kind of plane I like! And PMDG is a garantor for ecellent quality, unfortunately also for high price tags, though....
