A Few Bugs I've Found in the B55 Carenado

  1. There is a bug with the EFIS HSI course deviation indicator. This is the issue I’m referring to:
    Issue with the Carenado B55 CDI not deflecting on the Aspen. Can anyone help?

  2. There is also an OBS bug. It is impossible to set the OBS course on the E1000 avionics suite.

  3. The FPL button on the GNS430 is non-functional.

These are the bugs I have discovered so far. Before I became aware of these issues, I was actually very satisfied with the Carenado B55 and enjoyed flying it a lot.

If you haven’t encountered these bugs, or if they don’t bother you, then I sincerely envy you.

I bought the B55 specifically because it was the only aircraft add-on featuring the E1000 avionics suite. Unfortunately, once I started noticing bugs in the E1000, my satisfaction with the aircraft dropped significantly.

I already reported this through their Zendesk. Since there doesn’t seem to be any sign of it being fixed, I’m posting it here as well.

I really hope these get fixed. These are relatively minor fixes for an otherwise really cool plane

Please try submitting the ticket to carenado zendesk.
They will only become aware of this problem if several people contact them about it.

Carenado simply repeats that they will look into it whenever a bug is reported,

but they do not fix the bugs.

At least, that has been my experience with the B55.

It has been over a year since I reported the bug where the FPL button on the G430 does not respond, yet it still hasn’t been fixed.

It has been four months since I reported that the course deviation function in the E1000’s HSI is faulty, yet it still hasn’t been fixed.

I cannot understand why they have fixed the CDI bug in the Do228, which uses the same E1000 avionics, but are not fixing the bug in the B55.

I’ve reported this bug as well. If eveyone who sees this and has this plane can report it, it is more likely to be fixed. Please report it through the link provided by @xhan20000
