Wow even the sims auto pilot setting could not get it off the ground. Iâll just avoid this plane. It obviously has issues. Shame, because it looks pretty cool.
It use to be that way, but now you only have to press the one you labeled 1 and it auto completes that part of initializing.

Autopilot isnât for getting off the ground. So this is to be expected unless thereâs a miscommunication issue in describing your problem. Autopilot can be setup on the ground, but you donât activate it until youâre in the air.

CJ4 on the runway.
Select the desired Altitude. (cruise)
Press VS. (vertical speed)
Turn speed wheel up to the speed you want. (I use 3000)
Press AP.
Brakes off.
Throttle max.
CJ4 will lift off runway at around 110 on the speed tape
and climb at the selected VS until it reaches the set altitude
and then hold it there.
The plane flies just fine if you take the time to learn how to use it properly

Current stock aircraft after SU 13.
Brief description of the issue:
When loading a flight after selecting a flight plan using the standard flight planning screen, the flight plan does not load into the FMS. There is also no flight plan in the VFR map. When I ârestartâ the flight, then the flight plan loads as it should.
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
Load a flight with a high-altitude IFR flight plan with the CJ4 using the MSFS flight planning screen.

When you get into the FMS, do you see âEXECâ highlighted in the bottom right? Iâm pretty sure that executes the flight plan you created in the world map. I canât test this at the moment to be sure, but I only see that when creating a flight plan from the world map and Iâve always just pressed it at the start.
Interesting - that worked! âExecâ was highlighted, and when I pressed it, it loaded the flight plan created in the world map screen both into the FMS and the in-flight default VFR map. Interesting too that I have not seen this with other default planes with FMS. Thanks.
I donât really fly much else, so I canât speak to how other aircraft work in that respect.
Fyi the FMS flight plan and VFR flight plan are tied together. The VFR map will not show the routing or route changes until executed in the FMS. If you start editing the flight plan in the FMS, the MFD will show the proposed changes as you work on it, but the VFR map will not update until itâs formally executed.

Iâm not seeing anything strange on the altimeter. Do you mean the âV speedsâ shown on the airspeed indicator? If thatâs it, the easiest thing would probably be to google âV speedsâ or looks at them in Wikipedia.

I believe itâs just a placeholder to note there is a digit there, and in this case itâs âemptyâ
No I mean the âblobâ to the left of the digit â3â on the altimeter readout. I have never seen that on any other aircraft and Iâm pretty sure it shouldnât be there. These blobs occur at the left of the altitude readout like âpaddingâ, if Iâm at 900ft there are two blobs

I just looked up some videos on YouTube on real CJ4 cockpits and it actually seems to be as it should. These âblobsâ are clearly visible in the real aircraft as well. So just forget my posts please

That will disappear after you pass 10,000.
I was just taking off out of Detroit KDTW and it quickly showed icing on the CJ4 while taxiing. There was a light haze in the sim, but I had all the anti-icing options on. It didnât melt away until I was about cruise altitude in clear skies. I seem to remember anti-icing would prevent it from showing up, and make it slowly fade if already there, but not anymore? At least it didnât seem to affect my performance.
This problem is back for me (see my above post about flight plan not loading in the FMS). I tried 3 scenarios this time in trying to resolve the problem again, and my IFR flight plan as programmed in the world map screen is still not importing into my FMS.
-
loaded an IFR flight that began on the runway. âEXECâ was not highlighted in the FMS, and there was no flight plan loaded in the FMS or the VFR world map.
-
I used the MSFS menu to ârestartâ this same flight. Same result.
-
Newly loaded an IFR flight plan from cold/dark, this time starting the flight cold/dark in a parking spot. This time, after starting the engines and turning the avionics on (following the in-game checklists), âEXECâ was highlighted, and after allowing the FMS to âalignâ, I pressed âEXECâ but got the same result as above - no flight plan loaded into the FMS or the VFR world map.
Any guidance?
