Are you planning on switching the Goose over to CFD?
Yep, our next aircraft will use CFD, and depending on how thats going, weāll do the Goose too.

I havenāt flown it for awhile until recent. It definitely feels different, I think youāre onto something with its water handling, seems really stiff than I last remember.
The Gyro pilot is erratic and unreliable now. The elevator knob sometimes works, often goes straight to max down trim for no reason was an example I had. I even had a case where twisting it had no effect. Seems the heading is also unresponsive at times.
Something aināt right. It aināt what I remember at all. Does it have Avian flu or something?
Itās pretty sluggish, even with the water rudder, but it works. If it doesnāt for some, perhaps itās not just the helicopters that are being affected by flight model issues? Might be worth a shot doing the same procedure that helped fix the helis:
Set the flight model to Legacy (Realistic). Do a quick flight. End the flight. Switch the flight model back to Modern. See if it helps. Just a shot in the dark, but you never know.
By the way: in the air it still has that tendency it always had: when banking it feels a lot like Iām fighting some kind of autopilot that is trying to fly it wings level again. It takes an effort to roll and you need to keep the stick pressed to maintain that attitude, while most aircraft kinda hold the current attitude until you change it.
Iāve been hearing about this trick getting around. Was this effecting Xbox as well do you know? Or a PC only thing?
Not sure if it was an XBox thing as well or just PC. I never had that issue myself. But it has fixed the helicopters for others, not sure on which plattform.

Reinstalling and doing that flight model back and forth thing didnāt help.
No steering at all on water.
I will uninstall for now until an update, no biggie. I know itās something SU11 did, not the developers of the aircraft.
Yea, its a tendency high wing twin have, they tend to self correct due to their geometry and all kinds of aerodynamic things that im not qualified to talk about

Every (small) aircraft I have flown in real life does bring itself back to level from a bank with a corresponding altitude drop. However, I also noticed an odd turning sensation in the Goose. āFeelsā like a reluctant bank but also, the heading change takes a moment or two to react.
Just had the water steering issue. Even using the one motor turn with rudder didnāt help. I ended up in the trees. I did the legacy model switch thing and it worked but it could have been exiting and staring the session too.
Edit: It was an ID10t error. I had the parking brake on. Someone in discord pointed out my error 
Only had it less than a week so Iāll cut myself a little slack

Iām hope BR will update their Geese for use with the new WT GNS units.
The display has a scaling issue similar to what Iāve seen in the DC-6.
I flew the ski variant up in Alaska, yesterday, and had forgotten how lovely this plane is to fly.

Hello to the BigRadials team!
I finally found time to fly again and ordered me a Goose immediately. Took it out for a spin over the Hebrides. It was hard to control on taxi and water, but I put that down to the 50kts of wind I had. 
Does differential thrust work at all in the current MSFS?

Do you know about the water rudder you can enable? It makes turning on water much easier.
Differential thrust works well in MSFS. You can turn the Goose with it, albeit slowly. The Twin Otter on the other hand can do pirouettes if you put one engine in reverse and the other full forward 
Has this bird been updated to fix the fuel bug?
If not ā¦ how can this be still ignored? The BR lads seem like a good bunch, but I mean cāmon.

@UDDEVALLAPPL Yes, I found that. Thx.
@UnsealedKarma36 Yeah I think I was not patient enough and had to much wind anyhow to properly steer the boat.
@wowbagr I had my fuel switch on āBothā and the tanks depleted equally.
The weather vane effect is much exaggerated in MSFS.

At least from land, cold and dark, closing the crossfeed fixes the strange fuel behavior. I hear water starts may have some other issue but I havenāt done one of those in a while.
Iām not sure when youād need the crossfeed open in normal operations, at least it doesnāt come up for me, but I agree it would be nice to have this fixed.
