No idea, but if it were me I would get SPAD to monitor simconnect/LVAR changes, then start fiddling with it to see what traffic it generates, no pun intended. I’m not sure what the little red “acknowledge” is for either.
If I had to guess this is some kind of TCAS thing, with the rotary adjusting the range at which traffic is detected, and if that traffic enters either the TA/RA regions, an alarm goes off, and the red button silences the alarm. If it does work like that it might not be able to silence the RA alarms.
It’s not a classic plane, it’s a plane that’s being produced today, and as someone else already pointed out, this has the least “glass” of the cockpit options Aviat currently offers.
If it was an older A-1A or A-1B model you would see more steam gauges. But it isn’t.
I like steam gauges too but they would be unrealistic in this case.
I imagine they were limited to what Aviat would give them the license for and Aviat isn’t interested in promoting stuff they made 30 years ago.
Likewise I would rather have an original V-tail Beech Bonanza but Textron wants to show off their latest and greatest.
In general it seems Asobo chose to heavily focus on “cutting edge of aviation” theme with their planes in MSFS. The oldest default aircraft is the 152 I think and it probably only made it in because it’s such a staple of flight training. I would have rather seen more variety representing the history of aviation along the lines of the FS9 or FSX lineup but third-party developers will slowly fill in the gaps.
Jorg confirmed that there are licensing fees involved, but he’s keeping the prices of MS-published aircraft as low as possible. I’m pretty amazed people still demand it for free, like we don’t get enough content at no additional cost every two months. Ultimately Microsoft is a business, not a charity.
We’re getting a Ju-52 this month and Jorg said in his latest interview that there’s gonna be a degree of focus on historical aircraft.
I am not sure what this has to do with the part of my post you quoted. Understand that when I said “give them the license for” I did not mean Aviat gave them the license for free, I mean Aviat was probably willing to license its current models but not older ones.
Sure, but there’s not really a Junkers around to say “nooo, you have to make our latest and greatest” whereas Aviat may have said “we want the Husky to be as we sell it today.”
Here’s hoping they bring back the Skylane RG (totally wishful thinking on my part of course.)
I was just providing confirmation of what you said, and expressing my amazement that there are people that think the aircraft should be given for free with all the free content we already get.

That probably is wishful thinking.
I have high hopes for Carenado eventually recreating their whole Cessna single-engine lineup (206, 177, 182RG, 210, 195, 185) from previous titles for FS2020 though.
I do not want it as a gift and even less being from Asobo, I would ask you never to put it for free so as not to see that the plane is from Asobo. Thanks
I agree. It is a pity that the old, original, J-3 Cub is not available in MSFS as one of the standard planes. Unfortunately also A2A seems quite slow in porting from FSX their Cub, complete with Accusim and Heidi.
Deleted it, reinstalled it. I closed the game and rebooted my xbox.
Now only thing is I didn’t test the airport I was having the original loading issue with. After I did what you wrote and my xbox came back up I took off from San Diego airport with no issues.
The airport that was hanging it up was 1D2, an airport in Canton Michigan. I need to test that tonight.
Is it really that slow with its 200 HP engine? What I’ve read about the 180 HP Husky is that it cruises around 115 kts (not mph). For the flightsim Husky, it’s hard to get above 100 kts. Only at low altitude with very high powersettings I can reach up to 105 kts. Above 3000 ft speed goes constantly down below 100 kts. I leally like the plane, but this seems odd to me.
