Just Flight have announced the Fokker F28 Fellowship

Marketplace updates and additions are weekly, every Thursday. And I pretty doubt it will be included in tomorrow’s batch.

That’s a bummer because later this month I have to make a down payment on my truck I ordered so I can’t pick This thing up due to NY city stealing my ford explorer purchase

hopefully it’s a coincidence but halfway through my first flight my FPS went from the usual 60 down to 5. Had to Alt-f4 to get out. This happened right after I took a walk in the cabin.

Fair point, I get it and usually don’t fall into the trap. Bit of a busy period so sorry about that.

It’s not been submitted to them as yet. Not practical or sensible to try and submit to them at the same time as release. This is what we tend to do - We release, we monitor things over the first few days and then get an update sorted if required. Once we’re happy we then submit to MS and they start the process of adding to the MP for PC and Xbox. We don’t have any control over that process and in days gone by it might take 4 to 8 weeks to see it on the MP. I believe things are a lot quicker nowadays so hopefully within a week or two of submitting it might well be on the MP for you to purchase.

Hope that helps answer that.

Not noticing to much of an impact. On par with the 146

How do I get the GPS to accept the VOR to VOR Flight plan. I dont do much VOR to VOR these days, and Would like the either the default flight planner route or simbrief, but I cant get the GPS to Pre load the route?

anyone successfully got the FO callouts? On my second leg and didnt hear them again

got the checkbox enabled in the EFB

if it is like the 146 then you have to do all the things in the checklist in order for the FO to speak

Got it. they were playing on my headset that wasnt set on my head :sweat_smile:

Once again an incredible addon from JustFlight. Thanks a lot!

I just flew it from London to Nantes Atlantique. One hour flight, totally beat. :smiley: What a handful at first :slight_smile:

Isn’t it great? The beautiful thing, is that once you get the hang of it, you can have this thing turned around in ~15min. Cold/dark to engine start is ridiculously easy once you get the hang of it.

Longest time i needed in turnaround was program the GNS (try to get into EHAM the correct way without GPS, you’ll get mad ha). But yeah, very easy beautiful plane to start

I’ll figure out how to get a account on just flight then so I can fly this if I don’t figure it out I’ll just keep waiting

My heart is telling me to buy, but my money is telling me not to be so foolish…so I will go with my heart.

Edit..Dirty deed done downloading now. Gosh I feel naughty

Haven’t tried it myself, but does building or autogening a VOR-VOR flight plan on the world map work?

is a reference to an American Airlines presentation from way back.

Lovely thing, from a couple of test flights with some approaches ( in the dark, what a time to start familiarising! )

  • Into the Blue noted the NWS was hyper-sensitive - he was right, partly it’s MSFS maxing out nosewheel steering at 50% rudder travel but it does need looking at
  • It has the roll response ( not rate ) of a small aircraft - it feels incoherent on approach when you’re making deliberate corrections in pitch & just squeezing for roll corrections, in fact I’m not sure when you’d actually make a deliberate roll entry rather than just nudging. This might be right, but it’d be a bit of strange control tuning to make it like that.

Only quibbles so far, otherwise generally a usual JF masterpiece.

I assume this will come to the marketplace soonish?
