I must be doing something wrong because when I flip the switch up to bypass the annunciator remains as ENG INLET NRM
How long did you wait? It takes a short while to move, and you can watch this simvar as it does so, though I forget its name off the top of my head.
I wait for several minutes before moving the switch back to normal.
It has always had the inlet state showing at all times in the notifications panel on the PFD
Still getting the constant “Eng Inlet Nrm” message, regardless of the position of the inlet switch that actually moves.
Also, should text appear in the box that pops up when you press the ‘alerts’ button, on the bottom right of the PFD?
I have the latest version of the G1000Nxi mod installed, but not certain that it’s actually working.
I get both. When you set it to Bypass are you giving it enough time for it to shift to Bypass? It isn’t an instantaneous operation.
I don’t think the Kodiak ever received an update when the G1000NXi’s alert system was updated, which happened not too long ago. It’s possible the Kodiak needs to be updated to have this working differently.
The Kodiak uses the WT G1000NXi natively, so the Marketplace add-on will have no effect here.
I thought the status was per the actual aircraft as it is a TP bush plane by design
Thanks for that.
I’ll give the bypass another try and try to be a little more patient.
I think it needs an update. The NRM should actually be in green not white and I concur with @NixonRedgrave in that as far as I remember the advisories system was not implemented by WT at the time of the last update. The correct states do function correctly though but as already mentioned a few times it takes several seconds to transition to bypass. It’s a correct simulation of the slow moving actuator used to move the bypass flap.
Does it even simulate FOD?
Which is shown very nicely on the tablet of the Black Square turbine Duke.
I’d wondered the same too, but I’d imagine that the simulation of debris would sensibly need to come from MSFS itself and I’m reasonably sure that isn’t there…at least not yet.
I suppose that individual aircraft devs could do it, but then you’d have potentially multiple assumptions and implementations about what debris different surfaces/environments might produce, instead of a simulator-wide implementation. Maybe FS2024 will have it???
At the moment, unless i’ve missed something, it would appear that apart from trying to behave as close to a RL pilot as possible, there is no real need to bother with the inertial separator.
I’m 100% with you on that one.
FOD is not simulated in the base sim. However blacksquare’s tbm has it. Custom coded. But I think I remember the Kodiak doesn’t. Great airplane when it came out. Now merely more than an aeroplane haven - grade product
Amazing how things have changed over the last four years after decades of a standstill…
No, but in most cases nothing will ever come of not using your auxiliary fuel pump on landing or t/o will make any difference in the sim either. Nor shunning navigation lights, nor flying inverted at 100’ over Edwards AFB. It’s just proper procedures being modeled.
Even if you model FOD is there really something there or is the aircraft throwing it’s own debris in front of it to ingest.
You are surely not serious. They are not even in the same ballpark.
Yes. I am well aware of that.
Well, especially given the Kodiak natural habitat I would assume FOD is quite something to consider. But no problem for me, I’ve had tons of fun with it.
But yes, in the end nothing in the sim really has consequences, has it? And that’s for the better I would say
If I’m operating on dirt I throw the switch in the Kodiak. But say if the ‘feature’ is ‘modeled’ on an aircraft, does it take into account what you’re landing on or does it just automatically chuck a random handful of pea gravel or flat washers into the engine?
The tbm 850 evaluates the risk of FOD based upon the type of surface you are on. At least that’s what the manual says.
The Duke will show you the surface you are on, the percentage chance of FOD, and even shows little particulates going in, but that is likely just a visualisation based on that percentage, and they aren’t actually modelling every pebble.
