I just bought this PT-19 and I'm having the same problem. The aircraft tumbles out of control and crashes every time I load it. I have tried several different airports, and the ramp start mentioned above. There is also a sound bank error. I just spent $30 on this model and I can't use it at all. Is there a fix? There is also a lua script error for an unknown dataref that shows in the Gizmo64 console (sim/aircraft/parts/acf_gearstatdef).

I took off from the ground at KOKC and vectored myself on downwind at 3000. I loaded the approach from FILUM. Northwest of FILUM (still at 3000, below profile but that should not have been a problem) I tried to go direct (direct key) to the second instance of FILUM to bypass the holding pattern as is common practice. The FMS sent me direct the first instance of FILUM to enter the hold. I tried again to be sure I hadn't inadvertently selected the wrong FILUM and the result was the same. I then manually sequenced the second FILUM to "blue" to bypass the hold while still in FMS1 nav. This worked as expected. So that's one issue - I should have been able to use the direct key to go to either FILUM. Also, NAV to NAV transfer never happened. I had to manually switch to green inside IVEYI.

I was playing with failures and locked the left N1 fan. As you can see from the screenshot, left N1 is zero and right N1 is around 80. According to the AFM, an N1 split > 13% will cause the ATS to disengage with a DISENG'D message in the MSD. In this case, the ATS seamlessly increased thrust on the right engine apparently to compensate for the loss of thrust from the left engine. ATS should have disengaged. Interestingly, when I restored N1 rotation (cleared the failure), the ATS disengaged with a FAIL, rather than DISENG'D in the MSD. I also tried locking N2 and as expected the whole engine failed and ATS disengaged with a FAIL. I'm not sure if it's supposed to show FAIL or DISENG'D in the MSD in that case. Also, I used the mouse to grab one power lever and reduced thrust until the split was > 13%: ATS disengaged, but with a FAIL message, rather than DISENG'D as per the AFM. Also, I'm sneaking this in since it's right there in the screenshot. The L WINDOW HEAT CAS message is on: This stayed on after shorting the left window and then clearing that failure (before all my N1 shenanigans). I had to cycle the switches off and on again to clear the CAS message after clearing the failure. Same with the hydraulic B pump shorts that I tried. After pressing "Clear All Triggered", I still had to cycle the respective switches to restore function to the pumps. Is this intentional? BTW, the simulator is running, aircraft is cruising as I write this, and even though I cleared all failures and cycled the window/windshied heat switch and cleared the L WINDOW HEAT CAS message some minutes ago, that same CAS message just came on again for no reason I can understand. Switches are in LOW, there are no failures, and I haven't touched anything. is there some persistent damage that was caused by the short I induced? All the above was accomplished during one segment/session in non-persistent mode. Encablulator from Discord

I hope this hasn't been posted before - I searched but didn't find it. On the Fuel System - Refuel/Defuel System Diagram, there appears to be a typo: the balloon for the Left Main Tank fuel/defuel flow says "Right Main Tank". The hovertip correctly identifies it as the left main tank flow line. BTW I just watched this diagram for the first time while fueling. It's extraordinarily useful from a learning perspective to be able to watch the various tanks fill and the valves operating at their triggers. I have never seen anything like it. In training there are animated diagrams but they are stepped, not live and modeled like this.

This is expected. If you will takeoff with cowl anti-ice you need to tell the FMS so in PERF INIT TAKEOFF REF 2/4.

Stunning. Except for full-motion (which I have always thought was over-rated in terms of cost/benefit to training) this may be as good as, or in some ways better than, the full-motion CL650 sims I use every year. I WANT IT NOW! It happens that I start annual 650 recurrent three days after this beauty is released. It will be interesting to compare.

Day one purchase here too. I'd pay for it now if I could. I'm a current full-time professional CL601/604/605/650 pilot with about 2300 hours in the family. I could use this for proficiency during slow periods. I wonder if they need a tester.
