Indiafoxtecho M-346

forgot to mention but yes, the selected nav source is properly set to EGI, that shows waypoint 1.

Had the same problem, as soon as I turned on the AP, the plane inverted and then nosedived. It was at night too so doubly exiting.

Strange, worked fine for me the other day.

Maybe itā€™s the typical Asobo bug that people witnessed with other aircraft? Donā€™t intentionally or accidentally (via some key or button binding) engage the autopilot while still on the ground or it might spaz out in the air.

I found that if I forgot to move the engine switches from ā€œidle/startā€ to ā€œnormā€ I got some weird clicking & pulsing sound from the engines after takeoff. Cleared up once I switched to ā€œnormā€.

Yeah, thatā€™s the igniters/exciters for engine start. Like that:

I set HNAV and ALT mode on while on the ground before takeoff, so maybe you are correct.

Iā€™ll try to set modes and engage autopilot while airborne to see if it works better

Yes it works much better when the autopilot modes are set in flight, not on the ground

Keeps giving me CTDs on xsx :frowning: Even on omdb and other premium/deluxe airports. Canā€™t refund, canā€™t enjoy. Beautiful planeā€¦

Iā€™m finding Iā€™m getting CTDs with a lot of different aircraft, and suspect itā€™s due to add ons requiring updates since SU10

I tested this bird last Sunday. Now one of my favourite with this sim :heart:

FWIW, the M-346 appears to be working fine with the SU11 betaā€¦

I seem to have a problem lowering the landing gear: ā€œgā€ on the keyboard did not work (could raise the landing gear using it) and I also cannot move the landing gear lever down with a mouse. Anybody any idea? Iā€™m on Xbox.

Any chance there is a duplicate binding with another key?

Same here. I managed to open gears and activate flaps randomly when i fly so slow or if i am at really high attitude. And it feels like i canā€™t control aircraft. It sometimes not even working at these conditions. Autopilot also a nightmare since gears and flaps not working. Tested on beta also. Maybe someone guide us what we are doing wrong. Edit: XsX

Not sure: could it be that the gear only goes down below a certain airspeed?
I know: this is not what a pilot does: just jumping onboard and keep going, rather than thoroughly studying the aircraftā€™s operations manual,ā€¦ but learning by doing is one advantage if a sim :blush:

Iā€™ve had no trouble with the flaps or gear, controlled from my Honeycomb Bravo w/ spad.next.

Manual says the gear speed limit is 250 KCAS, though you might not want to lower it until final approach, at around 180.

It almost certainly wonā€™t lower if youā€™re flying above the limit, most of the newer fighters have this sort of protection. :slight_smile:

I wish IndiaFoxtEcho would get better sound quality for his aircraft his aircraft always look great but always let down by the sound especially in multiplayer

Gears worked at 250, flaps worked at around 235. Thx for informations.
Edit: 1st flap position 235, 2nd flap position 210. It is so hard for me to slow down this beauty while trying to land. And CTD while writing this over Brisbane. Thanks again.
Edit 2: Adding payload helps.

Use airbrake to slow down. Very efficientā€¦
