Now we just need @JayDee6281 to check if there’s any SU15 updates required to his Performance Mod and this plane will finally receive the full improvements long desired by the user base.

Umm, wow. Haven’t looked at it yet, but this could be quite the mod…

Just gave it a quick test flight. Pretty good! CJ4 meets King Air. :slight_smile: The FMS has just about all of the CJ4 functionality.

Only nice-to-have feature missing is the altitude range arc, aka “banana” on the MFD map. EDIT: Range arcs are enabled in the FMS, DSPL MENU.

Ah at last!

Now I have a reason to work on modding the FM and implement the new SU15 ground handling.

Ineresting mod. as the Husk G1000 King Air, but they are not compatible.
Would be nice if both could appear as separate aircraft

Can confirm that is does fly!

Question, what are people using for takeoff and approach calculations? V1/VR/V2 and Vref/Vapp ? I just kind of guessed for my first flight, it doesn’t look like the WT21 calculates them, unless I missed it?

Did you set the Performance settings in the menu, and then the Takeoff Parameters? WT21 needs to know FL cruise, OAT, Wind Str/Dir, local altimeter and RWY/SID. Then it will generate the three ref speeds for T/O and then you can “send” it to the FMS for appearance on the tape.

I haven’t tried the mod myself yet, IRL is hitting hard today, but if Husk kept most of the WT21 code, that’s how that works.

Recommend reading briefly through the Operator Gude written by WT. You’ll pick it up real quick.

I don’t think it has the capability to do Takeoff/Landing calcs. This FMS doesn’t have that option, whereas the CJ4 does. There are a few other features missing as well, including the altitude range arcs as I mentioned above. EDIT: Range arcs are enabled in the FMS, DSPL MENU.

I don’t believe all of those options are there in this version. Curious to see what you find when you load it up and check it out.

Is this what you are looking for? I had to enable it.

One other observation / note, it looks like the VNAV setup pages have kept the CJ4 speed targets in. I don’t think the King Air is going to get to 0.74 Mach :slight_smile:

There it is! Thanks! I didn’t hunt around enough on the FMS. Edited my posts above.

Feels like way too much work for a 300KT TP, I went back to the G1000.

I’ve probably done a hundred flights in the CJ4, so this mod was super-easy to learn.

I’ve honestly never been a big fan of knob-spinning in the G1000, so this is the perfect combo for me, when I don’t feel like the BKSQ King Air Analog.

The Husk G1000 has the keypad
