To celebrate the Savage Norden’s release on the MSFS In-Game Marketplace today, we’re giving back to the community with two free add-ons!
Classic Livery Pack – A throwback to the golden age of bush flying! This pack brings nine nostalgic liveries, each capturing the rugged charm of classic backcountry aviation. Hand-crafted by yours truly, twoseventyinc!
Legacy Weight & Balance Panel – No more extra steps fumbling through the EFB—adjust fuel, payload, ballast, and CG directly with the classic. Simply putting everything back at your fingertips just like you remember.
Both add-ons are completely free to download—just grab them and jump into the skies!
It will be interesting to see if you can remove the co-pilot in the Got Friends MSFS2024 aircraft using this, as you can’t currently do it in the sim in the Draco, for example.
Edit - no, doesn’t work. You can’t use it to remove the co-pilot from the Norden I bought in the marketplace just yesterday
Idk what happened to our previous conversation lol (Deleted with the website crash?)
Either way, Update v1.0.1. Is out with the temporary fixes that allow removal of the Copilot in GF Aircraft (Using the EFB still of course for seat placements).
We wanted to provide some insight into the fuel system bug on the DracoX when utilizing the Both Position of the Fuel Selector and what’s being done to fix it. First off, we apologize for the inconvenience. Our latest update (v0.0.8) was submitted before the SU1 Beta, but due to the slower ingestion process for 1st Party Aircraft, the fuel system was once again affected by SU1’s fuel changes:
AIRCRAFT CORE SYSTEMS
FUEL SYSTEM CHANGES IN SU1
Fixed an issue where the fuel_type parameter was ignored in the [Fuel] section if the [Fuel_System] section was defined with version 6 or later.
Fixed an issue causing some aircraft to start with zero fuel.
These core fixes inadvertently impacted DracoX, even though we had already patched the issue in v0.0.8. With the fuel system now more stable, we can confidently say that v0.0.9 will resolve this for good.
HOW THE DRACOX FUEL SYSTEM WORKS
We’ve noticed some confusion around DracoX’s fuel flow, so here’s a quick rundown:
DracoX has four tanks – two Wing Tanks and two Leg Tanks.
The Wing Tanks do NOT feed directly into the engine. Instead, they gravity-feed fuel into the Leg Tanks.
The Leg Tanks supply fuel to the engine.
If you see fuel draining from the Wing Tanks while the engine is running, that’s just them refilling the Leg Tanks via gravitational flow.
This design ensures that the Leg Tanks always burn last, lowering CG for competitions / hard braking, thus alleviating nose overs allowing for shorter landing distances, allowing empty wing tanks for competition weight as well as optimizing fuel balance and extending usage for longer flights.
A POSITIVE SIDE EFFECT – ADVANCED FUEL PHYSICS IN MSFS 2024
While this bug has been frustrating, it actually revealed something really cool.
In MSFS 2020, this issue never appeared during testing.
However, in MSFS 2024, we noticed backflow pressure in the Wing Tanks, which led to incorrect fuel draining.
This proved that Asobo has implemented more advanced fuel physics and pressure mechanics, accurately simulating real-world backflow pressure imbalances.
This discovery allowed us to fine-tune the gravity-feed system down to a decimal factor, making it behave closer to real-world physics than ever before.
We know this has been a hassle, and we appreciate your patience. But in the bigger picture, this is actually a huge step forward for realism in MSFS 2024.
Thanks again for your support—v0.0.9 is on its way!
