Has anyone figured out how to program an arrival procedure into the King Air 350 G3000?
I eventually found the Direct-to and PROC buttons on the pedestal, but they’re not clickable and I can’t find anywhere on the screens to initiate the same options. This was one of my favourite aircraft to fly in FS2020.
I just emptied my balance in OnAir by leasing one for 4 weeks and am stuck with it now until I can afford to lease something else. I wouldn’t mind, I can still fly it and complete jobs. But with not being able to fly IFR arrivals, the opaque windows and it running out of fuel when there is still “20%” remaining, it is a bit of a pain
The King Air 350 in MSFS2020 didn’t have the G3000. It was some Frankenstein version of the G3X that was not accurate to the plane at all, and was very limited in functionality.
I don’t have MSFS2024 (anymore) but I assume it’s still the same G3X Frankenstein unit, and as such, you can’t really do all the things you want to do.
There was a great G1000 mod for PC users on MSFS2020 that was indispensable for the King Air. It allowed you to do proper IFR flights. One would hope that one day it becomes available for MSFS2024, or, an even better option - fix the default King Air so mods aren’t needed at all… I know, one can dream…
It might be that tomorrow will shed some light on this.
As the Praetor 600 which is coming to MSFS (and which will be announced I guess) features the Collin Pro Line Fusion avionics and as Working Title acknowledged they will not frankenstein together the King Air 350i with the G3X (because it doesn’t simply reflect the real deal) I think a new avionics framework for the PL Fusion(s) could be announced by WT.
As the 350i is in general unfinished for MSFS24 this one would make sense as a testbed for such a new avionics framework. The Praetor 600 could be build upon this with different layouts/pages and additional functionalities.
Just something to keep in mind, the Fusion in the Praetor and the Fusion that’s in the King Air are so totally different from each other they may as well be called something else entirely. There’s very little overlap at all, and they don’t share a common interface whatsoever; they’re as different from each other as the G1000 is from the ProLine 21.
I’ve seen a number of comments like this since the announcement and I just want folks to be realistic; whomever is doing the Praetor Fusion almost certainly will not do a second, entirely different Fusion.
Anyone know how to display the engine instruments either on the PFD or the MFD??? I can import the FP from the EFB, but difficult to start without any engine displays.
I just imported the FP from Simbrief, got airborne and hit the AP, NAV and the other buttons and it followed the track and climbed to the selected ALT. Not sure how it behaves at landings etc. but that will be another experience, I guess.
Honestly one of the reasons some folks are staying on 2020 - there’s a very good G1000 Mod (and the RL KA does have an STC for G1000 vice ProLine). Add to that some good performance mods and it’s a reasonable homage to a good twin.
I’d tell you to fly the C90 in 2024 except Carenado has a long defect list on all the First Party aircraft they submitted for the new sim. Nearly all of the Partner Devs have a queue of fixes they’ve either submitted or need to work off, but it’s kind of frustrating to see how extensive this list is given we’re almost at nine months since launch and three Sim Updates.
November 2025 and we still can’t enter in basic information we need to be able to fly this standard aircraft in career mode properly … I mean, don’t rush … just fudging my way thorough enough missions so I can dump this aircraft and go backwards into a PC-12 since I can’t even sell it to get my 10 million credits back I wasted on it.
Bumped into this aircraft in career mode, and I could not find the procedure menu at all! Fortunately the mission started the ILS sequence automatically after sequence skip. Anyone knows where the proc thing is?
