Yes, the flight model is a huge focus of ours - we want it as accurate as possible. We will make sure this gets tested.

We got a pretty big restructuring in the works to make the G5 work better in different configurations. When everything is working well, we will let everyone know

The heading bug on the top is not a feature we have integrated yet. It is on the list

We are still on track for a late Q1/Early Q2 release Flight model work is going great!

Once we have it functional in-sim, I will PM you a beta of 1.1.1 to test.

No ETA yet. It is slated for 1.1.1 though, so it will be at least a week or two after 1.1.0 drops.

Thanks for the log file. It looks like only a simple install of Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft is necessary. You can find our guide to install these here. Let me know if this doesn't work.

Hi! After running the plane and it not working, can you grab the file “log.txt” from the main X-Plane 11 folder and upload it here? That should tell me what’s going on. Thanks!

Oh, interesting. Haven't though of load ordering mattering, but I guess on a single monitor it really would. I will file a bug on this so G5_B loads before G5_A at initialization.

X and Y coordinates are based on how your monitors are set up in your operating system preferences. The x value of 0 would be the left most edge of your left most monitor (or primary monitor, in some circumstances). The y value of 0 would be the bottom most edge of your bottom most monitor (or primary monitor, in some circumstances). The best method to place the panels is to try different values in the config file, save the file, then in X-Plane, you can go to the developer menu and "Reload Aircraft (without art)" and the plugin will reload, without you needing to reload the whole simulator.

It has been a few weeks since the last update and we are excited to share all the progress we have made! First off, we now have the SR22 3D model integrated and flying in-sim! This is a huge milestone for us, as this means we will soon be entering our closed beta stage. We are also excited to announce that another developer has joined our team, Marius Bohn! Marius has been working on an engine model for the IO-550 for over a year, and we are in the process of integrating the custom engine model, custom oxygen system, custom anti-ice system, and more. We have put together a preview of our current progress on the FMOD sound pack here: Check out the next previews by clicking here!

Dimming of the G1000 is not currently supported, it should be at 100% brightness by default. The only situation where it might not be at 100% is if a different aircraft modifies the brightness before loading the Pocket Rocket.

Hi! Check on the side bar menu (you should see a small tab on the left side of the screen when you hover your mouse over there). Under the aircraft menu, make sure to remove the pitot covers, and check that the pitot system does not require repairs under the maintenance menu.

We aren't modifying anything with the SimCoders side of the plane, I imagine this is something on their side. Let me know if you learn anything more on this!

That is due to how Windows automatically resizes windows when you drag the window. To have the window be automatically placed in there, you will need to set the coordinates of that location in the config file of the G5. Full details are available here: https://torquesim.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/G/pages/197208/G5+acfConfig.cfg+Description (please note, this page has been updated for 1.1 which is coming in the next few days, if you don't see some of the things shown on this page yet in your config file, don't fret) The key values you will want to set are: g5_nbzl_open_at_launch_a = 1 (and _b for the HSI) This will automatically open and pop-out the window at launch. Set this to 1 g5_nbzl_x_a = **** (and _b for the HSI) Set this value to the global screen coordinate of the left side of the G5 monitor, as configured with Windows. g5_nbzl_y_a = **** (and _b for the HSI) Set this value to the global screen coordinate of the bottom side of the G5 monitor, as configured with Windows. With these all set, the window should automatically popup and position itself when the plugin is loaded. It will take a bit of fiddling around to get the right coordinates, but once it is set, it should work great!

Yes, our persistence system will make its way over into the SR22

It has been another week of work on the SR22! This week, we will show previews of the interior and demonstrate the many features of the electrical system that is being simulated, even beyond the individual circuit breakers. Interior Previews Electrical System The electrical system is complex, but important to be accurate. We have simulated many different aspects of the system: Electrical Sources Battery 1 and 2 Alternator 1 and 2 Electrical Distribution Busses Main Distribution Bus 1/2 Essential Distribution Bus Electrical Busses Main Bus 1/2/3 Avionics Bus Essential Bus 1/2 Non-Essential Bus A/C Bus 1/2 With the accurate representation of these many different busses (and associated circuit breakers), we can ensure a proper simulation of the avionics/systems in all the many different potential configurations imposed by mismanagement or failures - providing a robust platform to train upon. Here is a diagram we are using in the system’s development, where the connections between distribution busses and general busses are shown in different colors. Check out the next previews by clicking here!

Since we are finalizing the external texturing of the SR22, it is almost time for us to start making liveries! Here are some livery ideas we have, we look forward to see ones you want made posted below! C-GBIV: D-ECZZ: D-ERBD: G-VBPM: HB-KTL: N115DJ: N206SM: N360CD: N509CM: N554CB: PR-RLD: VH-XVC:

Thanks for letting me know. We are looking into it.

Thanks for this info. It seems to be something with the XP Autopilot being too smart and thinking you are entering an overspeed protection range. We are switching the autopilot backend in the current development, so that should fix it.

After another week of hard work, we are excited to show some new screenshots and provide some more information regarding our development progress of the SR22 G3 GTS. First off, we are excited to announce that the SR22T G3 will come bundled with the SR22! The turbocharged variant of the SR22 will allow the option for faster cruise speeds and higher cruising altitudes. As always, you can see all the current renders here: https://torques.im/sr22 G1000 Perspective System (Work in Progress): Check out the next previews by clicking here!

Of course!

Re Log.txt, yes just the main log file of X-Plane. Re Rotation, I only use a mouse as well, I don't have their hardware (yet ) Re: RNAV annunciators. The X1000 has it because it is a built in part of the simulator so it can access non-exposed data. Re: hPa. Forgot to mention that one - millibar units are already in internal testing. Will be in the next update. When updates are ready, you will get an email to your address on file. To install, you would re-download the installer and run it.

Hi Peter, thanks for the write up! Re rotation: Please file a bug and include your log.txt file here so we can dig into this. Re refresh rate: The G5s run at 20fps by default in an asynchronous process (avionics IRL run at low refresh rates). This is user-configurable in the config file (see g5_fps_a and g5_fps_b). Details on the config file here. Re: knob spin speed, we can address this with the rotation to sensitive issue as well - it might be with certain systems it reacts differently so we will add something to the config file. Re: Changing values in menu - this is not replicable on my end. Clicking the knob brings up the menu, rotate to select item of choice, then clicking to select datapoint to adjust. From there rotating the knob should change the values. Currently pressing and holding to sync is not implemented, but planned. Re: CDI and VDI on PFD: currently being added. Re: RNAV annunciations: X-Plane does not provide the information regarding GPS status for these annunciations, so this is a limitation of the simulator. Re: Bearing - bug logged Re: OBS mode - currently there doesn't seem to be sufficient datarefs provided by X-Plane to interface with the 530/430 to know that it is in OBS mode. Re: AP bar - under consideration. This does add significant complexity for aircraft with non-standard APs Re: V-Speeds. We are working on implementing via textures. Currently the speed tape is customized for the proper red, yellow, and green ranges. It should be simple to add V-Speeds onto those. Re: OAT, TAS, and Wind Indicator. These are on the to-do list - these are really new features to the G5.
