AFAIK the functionality to auto step (like in the 777) does not exist. If your flight plan calls for a step, you would need to perform the action manually. I tried a step climb from 380 to 400 last night and this is what I did: Dial up altitude knob from 38,000 to 40,000 Changed the Cruise altitude from 38,000 to 40,000 in the FMC Changed thrust rating from CRZ to CLB Went into flight level change .80 (which was my current cruise speed) You could probably also do it in V/S but I'd keep the initial ROC to <500 FPM until you establish your thrust/climb capabilities, because you'd lose speed protection.

8 minutes, 48 seconds from leaving the FBO to Vr at KSJC staffed by OAK_CTR.

I've been doing a lot of high-altitude airport visits and turning that knob to get to 3500+ baro minimums isn't awesome. I have the up & down bound to a keypad but when I press and hold the key there's no constant action applied like there is with the heading, course, speed or altitude knob. I'd like to request that function be implemented for those data commands. I would also like to request some additional acceleration (for lack of a better term) on the altitude knob binding, if possible. On the TBM I have Alt Up & Alt Down on my keyboard and if I press and hold a key it goes from 0 to FL300 in about 3 seconds. Whereas on the CL650 it takes about 12 seconds. Given how more likely I am to fly at those higher altitudes, some additional acceleration would be appreciated if possible.

IRS (all three) aligned DCP (on corresponding PFD) Menu button A small menu will appear on the left of the PFD) on the lower-half It'll say PFD Menu and the first choice will be SVS, ensure that box is checked Using the 2D pop-up the Push Select button located under the Menu ADV - Data heading will check/uncheck the box. The outer knob will cycle the menu choices

Set the thrust limit to TO.

Graeme_77 - Absolutely right. The plane starts with 325 gallons in each wing tank, but the display begins at zero and then registers up to the ~ 4000 lbs.

Page 31 - CL605-POWER_PLANT.pdf (smartcockpit.com) Unarmed thrust reverser received a deploy command. I was able to replicate the EICAS message with an un-armed thrust reverser just now. The next step, I guess, would be to provide a screenshot / video of the error with the armed thrust reverser.

On a new airframe (persistent or non-persistent) the plane gets an automatic 4000 lbs of free fuel. As far as I can tell, impossible to prevent. On an existing airframe reload (persistent mode) the airframe launches with 0 lbs of fuel and then will refill to wherever you left it over a period of 10 - 60 seconds based on how much gas is onboard.

Difficult to say, the only time I've encountered an issue where I was unable to reactivate the ATS (also with no failures) is because there was no thrust limit profile set.

To add onto this question, semi-related. Is there a data command to bind the 2D fuel truck window and 2D fuel panel window?

Check the thrust performance page and verify that the < ACT > is set to CRZ or CLB. I had an issue where it somehow desynced.

The FO voices are stored in .opus files in the cklist-audio folder. The plane is configured to reference those by specific file name. So you would need to record the audio, convert to .opus and replace the files with the identical file name structure.

I put together a little write up here (for people that come across this thread via a search)

Reference material - https://www.smartcockpit.com/docs/CL605-FUEL_SYSTEM.pdf Page: 16 Fuel tanks are expected to be within 400 lbs / 181 kgs of each other on taxi / takeoff / landing OR 800 lbs / 362 kgs during flight, to avoid Fuel Imbalance EICAS message. First, orient yourself on the overhead panel, we'll be working in the 2nd row (or middle row) of the FUEL panel area. (Fuel.PNG) All three of these buttons should be extinguished under normal operations. Gravity XFLOW Press to begin the process, there's a 1 second delay after pushing the button for it to illuminate OPEN. This will allow fuel to flow freely between both main (wing-based) tanks. There is no EICAS notification that this is open/occurring. (gravity.png) To observe what's happening in the sim. You can go to the Challenger 650 menu -> Study -> Engines -> Fuel System... You'll notice that whatever Main Tank (either Left or Right) has more fuel that this will continue to consume, whereas the side with less fuel will not. Thus balancing the tanks. L (R) to AUX XFLOW Press the appropriate button to begin the process, there's a 1 second delay after pushing the button for it to illuminate ON. This will remove fuel from whatever side is select and transfer it to the auxiliary tank. Determine which tank has more weight in fuel Left side? Choose L to AUX (L to AUX.png) Right side? Choose R to AUX (R to AUX.png) There is a lock out mechanism that does not allow you to press the opposite button when one is already selected. Pressing L to AUX, for example, then pressing R to AUX, will no longer illuminate the L to AUX button. Pressing the R to AUX button again will resume the L to AUX transfer and the button will illuminate ON again. Once you're done balancing the tank, make sure to deselect the previously selected L (R) to AUX button. The aircraft will now suspend fuel consumption from the two main tanks and pull from the AUX tank until depleted. *Edit* Thanks! @airforce2 As long as a main tank is below 93% full, the aux tank feeds the main tank to maintain the level at 93%. Once a main drops to 93%, the main quantity will remain constant and the aux level will drop. It will appear that the engines are burning from the aux tank, but in reality the engines are burning from the mains and that fuel is being simultaneously replaced in the main tank from the aux tank ejector xfer pumps. To observe what's happening in the sim. You can go to the Challenger 650 menu -> Study -> Engines -> Fuel System... Note: The plane will display an EICAS warning message: FUEL XFLOW SOV OPEN if either button is ON for more than 50 seconds and the tanks are balanced within 100 lbs.

Frits - From what I've been able to determine (limited testing), the Training mode will always dispatch ~ 1900 KG of fuel. Every single time. The initial load of the career mode airframe will do the same but because of the persistent airframe states (should you use the same one) once you go below that initial ~ 1900 KG it will remember where you left off. So my plan is to build a "FSE friendly" airframe that's C&D with essentially fumes in the tank.

Thanks, Graeme. I setup a new airframe in career mode and confirmed the identical behavior. Walked immediately into the cockpit, powered up the aircraft and it forced in 4369.6 lbs / 1982 kg of fuel before I even began to evaluate refueling services. Would love to see one of the two states start at something like minimum usable fuel.

Graeme - I'll double check persistent mode, but at least in non-persistent mode the aircraft always forces a minimum of 4369/1982 fuel. In the context of FSEconomy, when you "rent" an aircraft you have to assign fuel for the flight. So let's say, I rent an aircraft with 2500 lbs of fuel on-board, but I don't wish to refuel the aircraft any further, it's a really short trip. The FSEconomy application (runs in Python), once you launch it will force the fuel load into the aircraft. It will temporarily reduce the onboard fuel to 2500 lbs and then after a few second delay will automatically return the FOB to 4369 pounds, through no interaction of any menus or systems. This is detected as in-flight refueling and the flight is failed. I haven't done a SmartCars flight yet, but there is a setting within the client that if it detects an inflight refueling, it'll fail the flight. So I suspect this can be avoided by ensuring you don't start the client until any/all fuel is added onboard. Sounds like the solution is to get a saved airframe that's basically on fumes, so that any subsequent flight I always need to add gas, versus attempt to remove (which based on the response in another thread, is not possible).

The plane always wants to put 4369.6 lbs / 1982 kg of fuel on launch. Adjusting to a fuel load less than that even via the X-Plane 11 menu (before loading the plane), results in the plane automatically refilling to the same onboard fuel load. Is there a way to prevent the automatic baseline fuel? Occurs in Training mode or Career mode with a new airframe. Context of question: It breaks any reporting clients such as SmartCars and FSEconomy that track automatic refueling and fail a flight from being accepted if you don't want at least that much fuel onboard.

Perfect! Thank you!

How do you cycle between the charts for your programmed flight plan? I've got the departure airport chart but don't recall how to bring up the menu that allows you to cycle the SID, STAR & arrival chart.

Disregard, found it in the Gizmo menu.

Clean install of 1.1.9 Departing out of KLGA, landed there an hour earlier in the A319 (full sim restart before installing & launching TBM) Crash to desktop at about Vr on takeoff roll. Log.txt

Certainly. Created! I put it as a major instead of blocker because the plane still appears to operate against the programmed FMS route, there's just no visual indication.
