Does anyone know what the optimum economy cruise alt and speed is for the Longitude for max range. Nothing in the C700b manual for the sim - the entire Specs’ section is missing from that, and nothing comes up about it when I google it.
All google comes up with is Vmax and ALTmax.
No economy data.
I should certainly hope it isn’t doable, as the C700 is absolutely not authorized or certified for it.
As per the Operator’s Guide, CAT I ILS is the maximum certified and authorized.
Yeah yeah, I get that and most of use are not even qualified to fly these planes at all anyway. 
So maybe we should all give up simming as we are a danger to virtual flying.
Now back to the more important point about the vague following of the LOC recently.
Are you aware of this, as it is happening all the time here since 1.30.12.0 beta?
Prior to the beta the plane(s) would acquire the LOC without oscillations and then track the LOC accurately for the rest of the approach. But now it has become just a little vague - enough of a problem that I have to fly the last mile or so by hand. Never used to be necessary until just before flare.
Just tried a different airport and this time it worked.
But the odd thing is why does the Vision Jet’s G3000 work?
I don’t fly the vision jet, but I think I heard that it doesn’t use the AAU1 code upgrade.
Vision Jet does not use the AAU1 version of the G3000 right now, it uses a copy of the old WT G3000 mod instead with some additions. They are switching to the new one soon 
That’s why it’s odd if it’s that SDK procedures bug. I’m not sure why it would work fore the old version as I remember it being reported before AA1.
Which airports and approaches didn’t work for AAU1 but did for Vision Jet? I can’t guarantee I’ll get to it until the weekend, but maybe other folks here can try to repro.
It was KFLL to KPBI with an ILS 10L approach. After takeoff, I went direct to the first approach waypoint. Right after going direct I think you should be able to activate.
The odd thing in the Vision Jet was the CDI line stayed magenta after capturing the ILS glide slope. It felt like it was an RNAV approach almost.
The KPBI mod is from Flighsim.to and is very well done. I’d keep it over having a working approach! Especially if I’m manually tuned to the ILS frequency.
I think I have as much fun testing out these systems as I do just flying the sim. The only issue is not being an actual pilot, I often don’t know what is correct or not.
Did you test AAU1 vs Community Mod G3000 on a stock airport? The Third Party scenery adds another factor to eliminate.
I did a test to go to MIA instead of PBI with the same origin. My MIA is stock. Everything just worked without much effort on my part.
Another difference I noticed to MIA was the white dashed CDI line, that was the first time I saw that happen. It never showed on my approach to PBI.
I think those are called “ghost needles” and if I remember some earlier posts from the WT devs, ghost needles are one of the things that don’t appear if the airport in question has buggy or lacking ILS info. This all seems to be leading to an airport issue I think.
Here is that post. It’s for the CJ4 but I think the symptom in the G3000 would be the same.
NZW (S. Weymouth) to KPVC. KPVC is stock airport. I launched VFR, no plan. Typed in ORG-DEST by hand into the FMS.
Cirrus Vision Jet 1.2.2
FMS was optimistic and auto-switched me to LOC just past the IAF. Per Little Nav Map, I wasn’t even inside the ILS Feather yet:
and good Glide Slope Capture:
Daher TBM AAU1 (no additional mods)
Double-checked while still on GPS Guidance, radio is indeed auto-tuned to ILS 07 Frequency 111.10:
Good Localizer Capture:
Good GS Capture:
I don’t doubt there are some exceptions. They may have to do with airport navdata, especially at third-party airports who may not have had the latest SDK changes applied with regard to certain navdata being lost or suppressed.
See this closed topic:
Since the update a lot of sounds in the TBM-930 are missing (not played):
Why were they removed?
They are still present in the sound.xml and panel.xml strangly enough.
Team,
I need some quick clarification on what mode this button needs to be in to properly follow an IFR flight plan. I’ve been setting up some high-altitude IFR plans from KTEB to KXNA, and as soon as the plane reaches the end of the terminal departure phase of takeoff, it just stops following the plan & flies on straight (the plan line disappears from the map, but VNAV is doing it’s thing & the plane is properly climbing at the right rate & speed). Thanks in advance. I’m going to give the guide I just downloaded from here a hefty look-over tomorrow…
This means your flight plan is suspended, for example after you finish a procedure and need to manually sequence to the next fix.
You can do a DIRECT TO and pick the next waypoint to continue.
Before the recent update I used to think ‘why do any planes use anything other than a G5000’. Now, having become reasonably competent programming the Fenix A320 in which these discontinuities are mostly easy to deal with I wonder ‘why do Garmin make such a pig’s ear of things’!

Any reason why it’s not automatically progressing to the next leg on it’s own? When I do a fairly standard IFR in the A320, the FMC nails every leg transition flawlessly…
One reason is the departure procedure might have a MANSEQ waypoint (manual sequence) built into it, which requires pilot intervention. If you post your full flight plan with all of the procedures, that might be helpful for the community. A screenshot of the plan in the FMS, or the full routing.
Ahh, yes it does! At the end of the terminal phase, I believe I saw that show up on the screen. Will try a few other executive airports around NJ to see if I can generate an IFR plan without a MANSEQ step.
One last question so I don’t have to start a different thread - I’m planning a ‘purge’ of my community folder this weekend. I’ve been re-naming folders of add-ons from flightsim.to with a ‘type’ name to keep things visually in order (for example: ‘Livery_’, ‘Airport_’, ‘Scenery_’, etc.). Am I potentially ‘breaking’ anything by doing this? Should I just leave the folder names alone as set by the mod’s author?
Oh, I just saw this: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/pms50-gns530-mod/296598/3047?u=w2sjw2210
