Is it true that you must use Legacy mouse/control input for this to work and Modern just doesn’t work much at all?
yes, this is correct.
Yikes. Are they planning to change that?
I’m not sure, I can’t remember them ever saying they will.
This has gotta be my most frustrating 45 bucks purchase.
Most SID at smaller airports have flag issue. Flight plan nicely generated on plan page but it would not display map page and pointing the nearest point being 574NM away when the first point is just 11NM away. Sometimes putting a 2-3hour flightplan results in half of the fps tanking that seems to be associated with the plane having SID issues reminisce of inibuilds issue last year. Meanwhile doing runway departure without SID doesnt seem to even generate the LNAV magenta line onto the navigation map.
Then forgoing the SID or blank flight plan on navigation okay lets do basic heading mode and setup LVL change at 800feet after departing out of the runway. First thing trimmed the plane comfortably for the climb in respect to lvl change pitch then set the autopilot except the plane just started trimming down and nose dives. Oh so now i am expected to hand fly this thing all the way on heading mode lol.
Flying this plane out is like a gamble hoping the place you’re departing out does not have SID bug.
I’ve seem to have narrowed down the issue. It comes with setting the default spawn with “Ready to startup” state instead of “Cold and Dark” or “Ready to taxi” via the efb. Setting up the default IRS alignment time to fast is also potentially part of the issue.
Noticed when the flightplan bug is occurring with the missing blank waypoints navigation display even after starting the engines and turning on LNAV, toggling back “Ready to taxi” magically results in the nav display showing the flightplan map. However attempting a departure and arming the autopilot causes the plane to nose dive even with level change armed.
Tried spawning under cold and dark and everything went without an issue same with spawning under ready to taxi. Was able to depart and the plane followed everything on the flightplan as intended even VNAV was working.
Filed a report to CSS.
I would love to buy this plane but waaaaay too expensive. What are they thinking?
For 120 and three variants and if.. If they are true to their word.. inclusive frieght packages and not to mention.. a more exclusive aircraft that only true plane fanatics will buy…
The market is already small, if you are a business, you want to make sure you reap as much as you sow.
But in the smaller side of things..
Save on your five lattes a week… boom 25 a week saving and by the end of four weeks your all but there.
That drink you want for your dinner or just plain simple Friday nigh out with the boys or gals.. In this economical climate.. you’ve basically paid for this aircraft twice over in one night and you have something that will now last the lifetime of the product that is msfs2024.
Its the big upfront cost that gets people..
Its the spare change frittering that is the massive drain on one’s wallet that hardly anyone questions until that time you go to your bank for a homelone and the rude awakening of how much you actually spend on “small items” over the last month
Bought the 300, 300 lacks the combi and freighter model’s so no buffalo airways flights or air Inuit flights
