I installed it for the Challenger 650, used your template thanks for that. When i turn knobs, the selected values increase, but when i turn counterclockwise, values keep rising! Sometimes it works, if i wait a while, turning the other way will decrease. Strange ! Any ideas whats going on and how to fix this? Buttons below the knobs dont seem to react or work. Thanks,

Thanks for the procedure clarification to rebalance the tanks. Today I had an imbalance of 800 lbs , and it took me over 25 mins to balance them. Is this normal ? If on the ground and the APU is on, can we preemptively prevent an imbalance by turning on the R to Aux button ?

I installed the CL650 V1.4. yesterday, and I am having the same HUD problem (inop, no lights or indications on it) I am re-attaching the LOG.TXT, if you can please check the issue? Also, if there is any other issues I would much appreciate any observations on that? Thanks, Log.txt

HYG thanks

Yes the aircraft at 1000 feet (AP disengage) was tracking correctly and I continued manually towards the runway in what seemed to be a crabbing situation. I checked the winds twice at it was set to zero at ground and up to higher altitude. Fuel was balanced prior to take off I attached a photo

Yes the HUD light knob is turned clockwise fully. I tried the other way but nothing. I do not have any shader modifications. The HUD used to work fine till suddenly it stopped even after restarting the sim and the aircraft starting in non persistent mode.

I seem to be struggling with controlling thrust when disconnecting the autopilot at 1000 feet I disengage ATS, autopilot and fly manually. Yet the speed does not decay even at almost idle power. The speed often hovers around 125-130. Just prior to disengaging autopilot and ATS, should I advance my throttle quadrant above idle? I never physically advanced the throttles quadrant at take off because I simply press ATS on the runway to get automatic thrust (in the sim). Yet my throttle quadrant control remains at idle (on the quadrant) throughout the flight until disconnecting AP before landing. So what is the trick to manage the transition (on my throttle quadrant) to get a smooth power management ?

Landing in EPRZ today, winds were zero and doubled checked Aircraft at finals is crabbing, seems at a large angle with respect to centerline. It’s as if it was a cross wind landing. Checked flight controls. All flight surfaces were normal and nothing out of the ordinary with the aircraft fully configured for landing. Any ideas why this could be happening? video attached.

Is XPREALISTIC compatible with the product ? I like some of its features like the touch down effect and a few others. When using this the plane shakes in cruise level despite all related settings in XPREALISTIC being turned off.

I could not find any of the suggested controls to do the mapping. The first “captains wheel flight director” doesn’t seem to be default and the other suggested also isn’t there!

Hello My HUD is blank, no indications on it. I maximized the HUD light with the same issue. Any ideas what’s going on ? SAM

The pitch sync command which is standard in X plane. I mapped it to a button on my yoke. Didn’t work. I mapped to a keyboard command, with the same result. I watched a video on YouTube of the HotStart challenger pilot performing a take off, at 1000 feet he presses pitch sync to hold the attitude and the autopilot is pressed after.

Hello, I am trying to learn how to perform a well controlled rate of climb on take off using the pitch sync button. I mapped this function to one of my yoke buttons. After take off I press this button but nothing happens (don’t see SYNCH PITCH appear on the upper area of the PFD). I tried mapping to a keyboard short function yet the same thing. Nothing happens. Am I doing anything wrong ?

Hello is there a way to automatically transfer fuel to auxiliary to remain balanced ? I noticed when running on APU for extended periods, the left tank depletes faster ? thanks Hussam

Hello, I wanted to arm the VNAV (vpath), to commence a gradual descent as per the STAR procedure. My FMS route does include altitude restrictions for upcoming way points, but i do not see the altitude restriction in magenta on the PFD (on the right of the altitude manually selected). Am i doing anything wrong? Thanks

Hello, A strange occurrence today while landing in Geneva, lining up 6 miles out, autopilot is disengaged and all flying is manual (ATS off). The speed does not decay lower than 160 knots. Thrust settings in the FMS were last selected to be CRZ but I did not adjust this upon descending or landing, could I be doing something wrong? Thanks for your feedback and help, Hussam

Yes I’ve entered my licensing details after installing the update, that is taken care of now. The issue is the REGA livery it seems, as loading the default livery works.

No I don’t have any other monitors actually. I already provided the licensing information. Yet when starting with the REGA livery it crashes. When selecting the default livery, the sim starts normally. Could a custom livery on the previous version cause this issue on start up ? And what about the Fob loading on top of the aircraft !

Hello, I started X-Plane 11 today, not knowing version 1.3.1 was made available. Well the aircraft (prior version 1.2.1) loaded, with the FOB on-top of the aircraft!! Strangest thing (video attached) since I used version 1.2.1 before with no issues. So I thought maybe because a new version was announced (1.3.1), i re-installed the aircraft, selected a new flight config on the ground in a random airport, with Persistent state selected to avoid any issues with prior states of the previous version 1.2.1, but still the sim crashes on startup. Tried various scenarios, all failed. Very disappointing, spent an hour trying to figure out the problem. I attach here the LOG file, please help? IMG_1534.MOV Log.txt

Is there any place where I can purchase an AFM for the CL650 ?

Agreed. A full manual that provides more insight to the location of buttons, sequence of checklist items, photographs, and a guide to various systems like the fueling system, etc. this provided documentation assumes the users are familiar with CL60 aircraft !

Hello, I seem to be having an issue starting a flight at the FBO, as it crashes. Also selecting a saved situation, the sim also crashes. Can you please help? The log.txt file is attached to help diagnose the issue. Thanks, Sam Log.txt

I’m very excited about this project! I’ve been flying DDENs Challenger 300 model which although ageing is still a joy to fly. But with this project and HotStarts reputation I have no doubt it’ll be the next leap forward and surely yet another reason to continue enjoying X Plane I am curious if the developers can integrate the Rega (Swiss Air Ambulance) Challenger 650 cabin interiors ? I have tons of pictures and it would add a very intriguing package with the Cl650 with foldable ramp, medvac interiors, etc. Kindly let me know if this is possible. Even willing to pay a premium for such a product ! Cheers Sam
