    Thanks! What do you mean by "audio to match" ?
  2. RonMont
    Does anybody know if there are plans for Hotstart to include that feature eventually?

    Your APU valve problem can be easily solved by going to the external APU control panel, behind the left-hand side wing, and resetting it. I don't understand though that a new airframe would carry that problem over from the previous airframe. Good luck!

    This means that you have hardware causing left rudder input; you should find out which and solve it, as you are not supposed to have to apply constant rudder trim in the plane to fly straight.

    You just need to post a request on the Beta channel of the Hotstart Discord channel. Totoro will send you a link with instructions.

    Hi! It has been mentioned in different X-Plane forums that the NOAA weather servers have been reconfigured by the gov't, causing issues with some weather addons. I have no idea if the CL60 is affected or not; I do not often request the weather through the FMS, but the last few times I did, I did not get any return. I assumed it was due to METARS not being available for those specific airports.

    I've made 3 more flights since, and observed the wheels: they were NOT spinning; was wondering the same as you: why then did the GND spoilers deploy?

    @skiselkov@Pils Hi guys! Finally had a chance to test the descent yesterday; had the smoothest and most pleasant descent ever in my 231 hours on the CL60. The problem was indeed what @skiselkov diagnosed: having the GND SPOILERS set at AUTO instead of ARM did the trick. Thank you very much guys for taking the time to troubleshoot my issue, and pointing me in the right direction. You have no idea how much I appreciate! Have a great day!

    Yes, I just reviewed the checklist, and you are right indeed. Will test with the switch set at AUTO, and as I said, will also check the wheel spinning too. I will also make sure I press the brake pedals after gear retraction, in case.

    Thanks for this precious information; I always have that switch at ARM, and never thought it could trigger auto deployment of the spoilers during flight. I will test that on my next flight, having the switch at OFF. I will also check the spinning of the wheels during flight. Thanks a lot!

    I get the GND spoilers alert popping up in the MFD, during that porpoising, but I am not deploying them manually, unless there is a serious overspeed as compared to the requested speeed. But I think @skiselkov put the finger on the problem, with the Ground Spoiler switch: mine is in the "ARM" position. I will test on my next flight with the switch at OFF. I did not think that could make them deploy automatically during flight.

    I thought showing you the PFD and MFD was what you needed. What would you like to see? If I record from my normal sitting position, the instruments are unreadable.
  13. RonMont
    @ois650 Here's a longer one; you can clearly see the porpoising, and the N1 pitching up and down to catch up. Something's not right for sure. Thanks to @Pils for pointing me to OBS, which allowed me to record a longer video.
  14. RonMont
    Thanks a lot... will take a look at that one :-)

    Don't think you've missed it, cause it's not there. At least not at my end.

    Here's a video of it. Note that the behaviour starts happening when getting close to the 240 knots /10,000' restriction. Sorry it is only 1 minute, but I just downloaded this screen recorder, and it is limited to 1 minute videos in it's free version; but the behavior will continue all the way down to landing. Thanks for looking into it, as I really find it annoying. I usually disconnect AT and try to control my speeds/spoilers manually, which takes a lot of concentration off the route and approach.

    I don't know if landing gear failure is implemented on hard landings. But, for one thing, you can always inspect the landing gear from an outside view. Don't know if you have X-Plane failures enabled or not; if you do, you can also check the status in Study/Edit failures.

    Thanks for your reply. I was not referring to a user tweak, but rather from the developers of the aircraft.
  19. RonMont
    Ah! That would explain it LOL Thanks for your reply!
  20. RonMont
    Still can't find how to adjust the Clock/Chronometer brightness. The 3 sets of controls on the rear of the pedestal have no effect on it.
  21. RonMont
    Just happened to me. Reset it by doing the same as the other pilots: power everything down and back up.
  22. RonMont
    Under 10C, you should have the AI on, no matter what, until up and clear of moisture.

    I have now completed a few dozen flights with the Challenger. I notice that during descent, the ATS speed control is quite erratic in maintaining the FCP selected speed. For example, speed set to 240 under FL100, from current speed of 290: upon reaching 240 after the deceleration, the throttles get increased a few knots before reaching 240 and push the aircraft to ~248, then throttles get reduced by the ATS. Again, upon reaching between 243 and 240, the throttles engage again, pushing the aircraft to ~248, and back down again. I believe the ATS needs some fine tuning, as it is currently too aggressive, pushing the nose up and down, into a clear oscillation pattern. This is happening no matter what the weather is, and annoys me to a point where I often take manual control of the throttles. One thing I also notice, relating to all this, is the amber GND Spoilers alert on the MFD, as soon as you overspeed by as little as 3 or 4 knots; is this also happening in the real thing? I reckon there might be some settings related to those sensitivities somewhere in the settings, of which I am not aware; so I will be happy if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help in resolving this.

    If it can comfort you, you're not the only one. Just happened to me twice over the past 2 days. with the W key; I tried everything like you to stop it, but no dice. Had to restart X-Plane.
  25. RonMont
    No chance of me touching it... Can't even find it LOL
