Avioniquesimulation now also has an FCP (autopilot control pilot) on offer. Check the following site: https://avioniquesimulation.com/product/fcp-4003-cl650/

I have two suspects left, ASXP and the SAITEK panel plugin. I removed the standard SAITEK plugin and replaced it with the Xsaitekpanels (lin+win+mac) 3.09 file on Xplane.org (https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/14646-xsaitekpanels-linwinmac/) . The original SAITEK file definitely caused CTD's. Several flights done without a glitch, but admittedly, ASXP12 not yet back in the plugin folder.

have the strangest of issues: the ENG START switches do not move any more. Clicking on start does not depress them any more, no movenment at all. Stop switches move normally. All other switchlights move normally. On the Study Engine bleed, start switches do not open. So Unable to start the engines. APU LCV and ISOL valve OPEN. Engine bleeds closed. XP 12.1.1. and CL60 1.18 Tried the following: Load another aircraft and return to the CL60 Stop and restart XP In the Airframe Manager load another aircraft Delete completely the aircraft and Hotstart directory, reinstall 1.18 All without succes. Anyone any idea? SOLVED - should have read 3 posts down, installed new Saitek panel drivers, on the Saitek panel the magneto switch must NOT be in start Log.txt

Have removed all plugins, first flight was without issues. Now adding plugins one by one, and testing

Unfortunately again, sitting on the ramp pre flight Looks like same backtrace Log.txt

Thanks for the very quick reply Pils, done as suggested

Best to contact Moussa on the Avionique Simulation on his discord. He replies promptly

The Chally on a transatlantic outing

And I got mine today, what a joy!

Hi Rich, would you have an updated link to that FAA document by any chance? Thanks

Moussa plans the FCP next

Anyone using https://avioniquesimulation.com/shop the promising DCP/CCP panels? Just ordered one with Moussa. Price seems very reasonable at 219 EUR

Well, I use a headset to listen to the cockpit ambient sounds and Vatsim ATC, but how do you listen to the discord with the other pilot? Earplug underneath the headset with dangling mic? Or another clever set up?

Ok Pils, thanks for the quick reply, we used Discord as well, but practically, how did you do it?

Probably stupid question, how to talk to one another in shared cockpit? We were now using another communication channel, but of course I could not hear the cockpit sounds. How can you talk, and still be 'in' the cockpit?

And the factored values are as follows: (use DRY and insert the factor)

It's been a while...

Hi Oisin, checked with the pilots, we have the white box when you preselect local QNH whilst still being in STD QNE. So it could be programmed for completeness, yes

In a long conversation with BBA yesterday we learned that BBA advises to equalize left and right mains BEFORE departure using the L (usually) to AUX pumps, even if the difference is lower that the limit of 400 lbs. This in order to avoid CAS fuel imbalance messages after departure which could be triggered by banking and 'sloshing' in the tanks

Rest assured, I was talking about my virtual Chally. I will find out what the RL oil consumption is on our Challenger.

Thanks, I flew the Chally a couple of hundred hours and never refilled. Lately I started getting occasionally high oil temperatures, and than on yesterday's flight warning oil pressure below 25psi. Time to take action! Amazing that Hotstart has modelled this oil consumption...

Not there yet - replenishment tank empty, engines nowhere near full. How can I fill the replenishment tank? Edit - Hotstart thought even about that! Btw to fill the tank, click on the cap on the tank on the approx 1 o'clock position 13 quarts in all - will avoid the maintenance dept for a while...

You need alternative power to continue, select AC power in the Ground Services menu

Personally, an that is also the way our CL650 Pilots do it, I have always the frequency and course preset, so that if the transfer doesn’t happen automatically, I can do it manually.
