Announcing the Take Command! TorqueSim CitationJet 525!
GridiroN replied to Cameron's topic in CitationJet 525
Everytime I step into the SR22 I'm reminded what a top quality addon TorqueSim has made. I'm looking forward to this release and I have no doubt TS will outdo themselves with the C525. -

Obviously could be pilot error, but I cannot figure out why the Mu-2 flies appx 5 degrees nose up, and about 80kn true too slowly. I'm fairly certain this is not expected behavior. If anyone has any tips, it would be appreciated. I've tried changing the centre of gravity and the plane rebalances back to 5 degrees nose up. I've tried trimming it out hard, same thing.

Hot Start Challenger 650 - Gunmetal Grey
GridiroN commented on MadProf's file in Hot Start Challenger 650

Just to be clear: On my Virpil T50 dual throttle, mapping the left throttle to 3 works. Mapping both to 5 works. Mapping right to 4 does not work.

When you start doing this, you start getting into territory where we're getting hardware restrictions. In planes without failures modelled, it really doesn't matter to have multi axis' and in cases where you do need to it (The AirFoilLabs King Air 350 for eg.), it's manageable my using the mouse instead. The issue with your product is that it doesn't have a mouse clickzone for manipulation AND it requires more than 1 axis, making it difficult to manage unless you have pretty good hardware with many (useful) axis' (like a honeycomb or something).
-
So I actually managed to fix it by assigning both prop levers to individual axis'. However, if using the basic XP11 "prop" dataref (in which any number of prop levers are mapped to a single axis) only the left engine is manageable during a large number of procedures. My HOTAS is a Virpil T50 mongoose (original version)
-
When holding down the prop unfeather switch, only the left condition lever is movable. Condition levers also do not have clickzones. They move only on an axis.

So, I've noticed this happen a few times. The plane will change the nav src at the inappropriate time. I'd say 3 out of 5 of my last flights. I had a hotkey setup on my hotas for nav src toggle button, and de-hotkeyed it to make sure it wasn't a "noisy" button signal, as this does happen sometimes. During this flight in particular, there was no hotkey for this, which verified to me it seems to be the plane itself. I've also included what I believe should be the correct log as this was the last flight I did. Time stamp: 4min 50sec. Sorry, I didn't take the time to edit the video. Log.txt

VOR Radial & Distance waypoints in the Collins FMS
GridiroN replied to ois650's topic in Systems and Tech
I don't think I have ever had Simbrief suggest a VOR + a distance as a waypoint. Isn't this primarily only used for SIDs and approaches? -
Quality of Life Recommendation Regarding the Checklist System
GridiroN replied to GridiroN's topic in Systems and Tech
You've already done this by allowing the user to go to the Challenger menu and skip ahead or go back a checklist. My suggestion is simply to allow the user to expedite this process so they don't inadvertently break the FO. If the FO can go ahead or behind a checklist either by the challenger menu, or by completing the checklist, it makes sense (and doesn't break immersion of reality) to simply have, perhaps an option in the challenger menu to allow the user to pick the checklist and have the FO navigate to that checklist versus having the user have to go back and forth one by one themselves to find the correct one. -
Posting this at the request of Pilsner So, I noticed in my test flight that it is possible to screw up/confuse the FO in regards to the current or desired checklist by skipping some stuff, or ignoring his callouts. For example, I just wanted to get into the air and test a few things out, so I ignored some stuff, and just went. When I went to start a new checklist, I realized the FO was now somehow stuck reading 2 checklists at once, but also that there seems to be no intuitive way for the user to change checklists on the fly other than going up to the challenger menu and going through them 1 by 1. I think it would be a useful QOL change to add back this system that was present in the TBM-900 product, as shown in the attached image. The CL650 has something similar to this, where you can scroll through checklist items and do the checklist yourself, however, I noticed you cannot move this up to the checklist menu and change the actual checklist like in the TBM; it just takes you back to the end of the checklist. Perhaps also, when changing checklists like this, the FO will abandon the previous one and start on whichever one the user picks.

I believe this is because on this model the parachute system is very heavy (the pilot said it's like 276lb) and the operators are required to account for this, therefore...3400lbs MTOW approximate on this model to equal the naturally aspirated model.
-
To be fair, I looked into this also and was confused because the way Cirrus sets this up is quite confusing. There are versions of the SR22 that has a MTOW of 3600 but a real pilot confirmed the exact model Torquesim chose does correctly have a 3400 MTOW.

If you use the new Xaviation plugin when the installer asks you which you want, it lags like crazy. Use the old one and it works perfectly fine.
-
Users of Xcamera can do this themselves if you allow the exterior objects to be manipulated (eg. pitot tube cover, inlet covers, chocks)

I have a 87% keyboard :'(. Lol, it's all good. I'm sure you'll fix it later.

Oh, and one more issue that as a Canadian is unacceptable : Making a Canadian registry in the registry editor appears to be impossible as it will not accept a "-". You can make American registries "N123NA" but you cannot make Other nations "C-XXXX" <- impossible. "D-XXXX" <- impossible.

Cool stuff man. You guys really made your mark in XP11 for sure with this project.

Yea I could see that. The Thranda PC6 has animated air vents.
