G36 Improvement Project

Hello, I am currently flying this plane but it is not following my gps flight plan, is this an issue right now? Or is there a walkaround?

No there is no issue. No workaround because the autopilot works fine. Are you sure you are using it correctly?

Hi, this is not something that has been reported before. I would suggest checking all other mods, and removing them to check for some incompatibility.

@mdapol @CaptMatto Thanks for replying, after many attempts I finally got the AP to follow GPS, I had to center manually my plane with the GPS course indicator and from there the AP was able to follow my route. This is not normal but it worked in my case.
Cheers.

Ah ok, I think I understand your issue now.

You need to intersect the magenta course line on the NXi - this is as the real unit behaves.

Oh I did not know that, thank you very much!

The second item in the “Heads Up!” section discussed this point. Lots of other good information.

Always a good idea to read the instructions before assuming something is broken

I just downloaded version 0.6.7 from GitHub. Neither the PFD nor the MFD would fire up either by pressing the “Ent” key or the right most soft keys on both. I went back to V0.6.6 and they both work as they should. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hey

0.6.7 is very much a work in progress and will only work for SU8 beta.

I’ve recently swapped the PFD to Bus 2 as per the POH and ready for some work on the bus tie. Are you turning on both batteries?

Question on engine start procedure. I’m following the POH for COLD START as the temp is -5C:

  1. Throttle . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FULL OPEN
  2. Propeller . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . HIGH RPM
  3. Mixture . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FULL RICH
  4. Aux Fuel Pump . . . . . . . HI UNTIL FUEL FLOW PEAKS
    THEN OFF
  5. Throttle . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .CLOSE, THEN OPEN
    APPROXIMATELY 1/2 INCH
  6. Magneto/Start Switch . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . START
    (Release to BOTH when engine starts)
    • The [STARTER ENGD] Caution Alert will illuminate during
    the Start and should extinguish when starter is
    released.
  7. Throttle . . . . . . . . . . 1000 to 1200 RPM AFTER START

My problem is that it never starts. In desperation, I finally can get it to start by leaving the Aux Fuel Pump on HI. Maybe in step 4 above, I need to allow fuel to flow for longer, rather than just 2-3 seconds??

Thnx!

Make sure you’re leaving the fuel pump on high until the Fuel Flow peaks around 3.0-3.1 gph. The other thing is making sure you’re giving enough throttle, 1/2 inch is tricky to judge properly in the virtual plane, and if you don’t give it enough throttle it won’t catch.

The other question is what altitude is the airport where he’s at? He may have to lean the mixture some too.

Check the fuel tank selector / shutoff valve. If you start in c&d, your fuel selector might be off.

Thanks! I wasn’t giving it enough throttle. TY!!

Hi All

I am pleased to announce the release of 0.6.7 of the Improvement Project compatible with Sim Update 8 :slight_smile:

New in this version:

  • Added functionality to Hangar Module (we now save engine hours, miles flown, and count down to annual and 100hr service per livery) state saving items are shown on the State page (menu link at top)
  • Fixed missing altitude alert tone @200ft to go
  • Tweaked fuel flow as current flow slightly less than book figures (Rpt by @JayDee6281)
  • Fixed missing decimal point to manifold pressure gauge
  • Added SU8 Prop Modelling - This has changed the speeds/fuel flows it may take a little while to dial this in. At the moment the climb fuel flow is slightly lower than book and cruise is about there.

P.S. I’ve just noticed a bug has creeped in with the total hours in the hangar panel which I thought I had fixed. I will release a small bugfix in the next few days.

Seems to be working the same for me.

HelloAll,
I recently downloaded the new update for this A/C but the new download is still listed as 0.6.6 in my community folder /MSFS ADD-ON LINKER?

The download appears to be functioning to0.6.7 as the Hangar facilities are operable in the relevant menue/s

Any Help Much appreciated
Charlie
