Beechcraft C90GTx Issues

Thanks for posting this. I have the same issue with missing engine instruments and will look into this other King Air thing.

Interesting about the Husk PL21 dependencies, I will have to look thru the code and see if there are any references. I did use Husks code, but I don’t believe I had it in my community folder. I won’t able to check for about 3 weeks.

Last time I checked this aircraft in FS2024, it burned 50% more fuel and flew 20% slower than it’s real life counter part. I flew the C90GTi in real life some 15 years ago so I still have some knowledge and documentation about this aircraft.

There are a few more inaccuracies such as master caution and warning sounds (the real one has none), PITOT heat alert logics, autofeather arm logics. Overall it is quite well done, it looks very nice at least. The high fuel flow + low TAS is ashame.

I thought fuel consumption was greater than 50% (closer to double what it should be) but regardless, it needs a patch. And speed should be adjusted too. I submitted a Zendesk ticket and I know others did as well. The more, the better.

Most of these issues could have been user-fixed if MS gave us access to the config files. Hoping Carenado comes through for us.

When I tested it, it was burning 520 lb/hr/eng instead of 345 lb/hr/eng, coupled with a speed of 180 kts instead of 220 kts in my test, specific fuel consumption might well be double.

Edit: fuel burn per nm is almost double, 5.8 lb/nm in the sim versus 3.1 lb/nm according to the books.

I haven’t checked for improvements for some time, there hasn’t been any according to the release notes.

I recently watched a YT post on this C90. I could clearly see his MFD did NOT have the red warning oil temps and zero fuel flow. So perhaps these specific errors are only happening in MSFS2020.

Regardless, I am disappointed that Carenado has not addressed the issues. They are not the type of developer I will do business with again.

Has anyone else noticed that the magnetic compass does not work in this aircraft?

I did my first night flight today with this aircraft, and noticed that the landing lights are terrible, barely illuminating the runway.

Does anyone know how to mod the brightness?

I think the electrics have changed. For example when I turn the battery on the avionics come ion also.
