Ok. A differnce is definitely there, cause I changed a lot regarding the flight model between the last two updates. But I will check and keep an eye on it.

The (new?) default loading, is light, and a bit forward (nose heavy)… requiring more “up” trim.
I try to use a different load scenario, for every flight… eventually you get a feel for where take-off trim should be, based on weight/placement of passengers, etc. Part of being the PIC, is supervising loading, and compensating for it…

Are you saying that Black Square changed the default loading with the new update?
I never touched the weight options on this aircraft ever since V 1.0.0. I just spawn cold & dark, start it up and fly.
Yes there were something:
If you have SU11 you could install this little mod, that gives you some changes to the engines.cfg that are ONLY compatible with SU11 so far. Just Drag and Drop like a normal Mod to your community folder.
What you should see is a more finer controll of the power output via throttle in the first 10-20 % Lever Range.

Try the trim setting i had in the first picture in the new update, you’ll know what i mean.
Then try the same trim with the previous update.
Has anyone made a replacement prop disc for this plane? In certain lighting conditions, they look horrible, and distracting from the cockpit, especially in VR. tts the only thing I don’t like about this plane. Otherwise, it’s brilliant!

That’s good news. I can’t get my Avionics Master Switch to work with my Honeycomb Alpha
I change loading for every flight… it’s never the same… sometimes just a couple passengers… sometimes many passengers… weights from 130 to 230 per passenger… I load fuel, per the planned flight duration, allowing for IFR reserve… so I can’t remember the Asobo default… 
I’m just pointing out, that the “new” default load seemed light, and “felt” forward-ish… which is OK.
Okay i gotcha.
I found some replacements a long time ago on AVSIM. Do a google search
I did a 5.5hr, 1375 mile from Calgary to Anchorage yesterday with 20gals left. Great view from FL23. Worked like a top, but but I had a Cabin Alt Hi almost the whole trip. And I could not get the cabin temp to warm up from -12f. Colder inside than outside.
yeah I told them about passengers, to don’t forget to unload them, seems they forgot (nick if you see this 
)
must be editable from a cfg, will take a look fast and keep people inform if I found where it s , maybe someone will drop the tip faster than I
here ! on our file it s line 27

That’s part of the fun, and realism… loading the airplane differently, for each flight.
During testing for JD… I filled every seat… plus baggage and full fuel (to get near maximum take-off weigh)… zero wind, to see how much runway was needed.
And yes… if you never change the loading yourself… whatever was written into the loading stations (cfg file), will be the same load, for every flight.

Anybody get some severe pitch oscillations during descent? I’m using the descent autopilot mode and the nose just pitches up and down constantly, with the trim wheel freaking out back and forth rapidly. Smooth Ride mode didn’t do anything either (is it implemented?).
Cabin Mode to Heat?
When that happens to me it’s because my trim axis is not set back to zero causing the AP to have to fight it constantly. To resolve I disconnect AP, set trim properly for the active phase of flight and then reactivate AP. Problem solved!, at least for me😎
I’ve found two annomolies since downloading v 0.1.2… wondering if anyone else is experiencing:
- Fuel Guage TEST function no longer works.
- When either prop is brought back into feather, the other prop lever goes to feather as well, This is the case if the unfeathered prop lever is forward of the feather detent but not if it is at the detent (in which case it does not move back with the other lever).

Auto and you control the temperature with the “cabin temp” knob. You don’t need Electric heat when the engines are running so turn it off. Electric heat should only be used when engines are off AND you have external power because it requires a big current to run.
So Cabin mode to AUTO, Bleed air valves to OPEN, Vent Blower to AUTO and Cabin Master ON.
Then set your desired temperature with the “cabin temp” rotary knob and just wait till things heat up. l like to set it around 5 or 6 o’clock which results in 24-25 C steady the entire flight.

"MANUAL MODE CONTROL
When the MODE selector is set to the MAN HEAT position, the Cockpit and
Cabin floor heat servos are fully opened and regulation of the cabin and cockpit
temperatures is accomplished by actuating the MAN TEMP switch to either the
INCR or DECR position as desired. When released, this switch will return to the
center (no change) position. This regulates the temperature of the bleed air
entering the airplane, while the flow rate remains unchanged. "
thx scars to explain, I was misunderstanding the elec heater switch, reading again the poh is more clear to me “ELECTRIC HEATING
A supplemental electric heating system is available for cabin conditioning.
This system utilizes a heater assembly containing six heating elements located in
a duct aft of the forward evaporator. The cockpit blower is used to distribute air
through the electric heating duct, and will operate automatically when the ELEC
HEAT mode is selected. Heated air is directed into the cabin through a single
floor outlet located directly aft of the cockpit pedestal. The blower will operate at
maximum speed regardless of the indication of the COCKPIT BLOWER knobELECTRIC HEAT MODE CONTROL
When the MODE selector switch is set to the ELEC HEAT position, air is directed
over resistive heater elements and into the cabin as described above under the
ELECTRIC HEATING section. This mode is only operative on the ground.”
