Just bought the TDS GTNxi to use with this and Milviz 310R, Recommended!
was using the PMS Premium, this one have much better response / resolution and way more features.
i wish the dev would introduce something like the Milviz 310 personalization, damages and degradation
Me neither but I’m now curious - hold my beer !
I don’t know whether it counts as engine damage, but I have on occasion, and it happened yesterday, seen evidence of a fuel imbalance part way through a flight.
I shot some video demonstrating this, and it appears that fuel is only being drawn from the left tank, and at what looks like an excessive rate.
Even though both fuel selectors are set to their respective tanks, it acts as if the right engine is drawing fuel from the left tank as well. But the rate it is dropping at seems way faster than it should be, even if that were true.
I have no idea what causes this, perhaps a bug of some kind. I’ll upload the video later today.
Next time you come across this try cycling the selectors. There was a bug related to their initial state not matching what the vc indicates a while back but I think that was supposed to of got fixed.
Not sure what you mean by this but that autopilot has been seen in a sim before this one. The autopilot itself can still be used pretty much as normal it’s just the altitude selection source that is not realistic.
This awesome epic engine glow is THE highlight within of the Flysimware Cessna! I try to advocate for the same engine glow on the low pressure exhaust turbine inside the CFM56 turbine exhaust cone, but Fenix has not answered to my Fenix-prayers to add cool glow to some aircraft parts like brake discs or turbine exhaust (yet).
Well there is no way to replicate the engine glow. It´s just there when starting a flight.
But in older Cessna versions there was a bug having the engine glow gone when switching on the lights the lazy way by pressing L on the keyboard. Another press L makes the engine glow appear again.
The glow is slightly visible during daytime and very obvious at night time. If the glow is not visible during nighttime try to press L. This should always make the turbos glow again.
That’s a good call, ~35USD is in my opinion about where this plane should sit given the fidelity and features when compared to similar addons.
Thanks for the tip! It really is a cool feature and it would be cool to see more deveopers add a glow. I do use my honeycomb bravo to manipulate the light controls but in the 414 the landing lights are a 3 way switch and therefore incompatible with the bravo. Maybe a combination of the 2 is causing a conflict somewhere but I’ll try L and see how I get on.
They are not incompatible but you do need third party software to map a bravo switch to the 414 custom LVAR used for the landing light switch.
Better Bravo Lights » Microsoft Flight Simulator - This keeps getting updated and looks like it might allow you to configure the lights for the 414 (and it’s free!) - I’m going to try it out myself.
This is a problem I have had from the inception. On all the variants except the GNS530 the squawk ident is automatically inserted when dealing with the default ATC. However in the GNS530 you have to manually input the squawk code every time. Anybody knows if this is intentional or a bug?
Not sure I follow. In the first place you talk about the ident and then the code. They are different things. What exactly is your issue?
What he said; for him, when he uses the GNS530, when ATC announces the squawk code, it’s not automatically inserted into the transponder. This used to be a problem on the Piaggio P.149, too.
If no one else sees this, I’d suggest reinstalling/getting the latest version of the GNS530.
I don’t use default ATC. Isn’t that an assistance thing? Does it do it if you have all assistance off for instance?
Not an assistance thing, but I have seen it not work on some planes.
When talking to ATC, if they give you an squawk code, you have two options:
To my knowledge this is the only instance that this occurs, with the possible exception of if you change that code, or disable the transponder, whereupon ATC will detect this, and tell you to check it. If you do nothing they eventually terminate services. If you reset the code, or enable the transponder they silently acknowledge, and services continue.
From memory I believe the Piaggio P.149 doesn’t do this for some reason, and I’m pretty sure it’s the only plane that I have that does that.
Another reason why I don’t use the default ATC. There should be an option 3 where you have to do what you would do in the real aircraft. Acknowledge the instruction and manually change it yourself. Seems like you can do either or but not both. I thought it may of been linked to assistance because it makes sense if you assign the co-pilot those duties. It seems once again normal logic wasn’t used.
Just a quick question which may have been covered already. Time precludes a full trawl of the thread. How can I change the native settings of the aircraft? I am particularly keen to change from inches to hectopascals or millibars?
Many thanks in advance amigos!
Hi, I understand your description which is quite accurate 
I have the same issue and only in the GNS530 variant. It has been there for all release versions although not sure if it is fixed in 2.7.0 which just released.
The issue is captured as a bug at their Discord.
That’s done in the sim settings not the aircraft itself. You want hybrid not metric.
Cheers Sling! I had been wandering through folders when the answer lay before me. Mind you, it isnt the first time…
