Are we expecting any fixes for this aircraft in SU3?
And could someone please confirm if the pitot heat is cosmetic? Because no adverse effect seems to occur when I fly in extremely low temperatures with the pitot heat turned off throughout the flight.
Are you flying in clouds, precip, or any other visible moisture while at those cold temps?
Itās quite varied. Iāve flown in clear conditions as well as through precipitation and clouds, both under 10Ā°C as well as subzero. The pitot heat doesnāt seem to matter and everything works the same without it and with. FWIW Iām on XSX.
Iād love to see an option to switch the Altimeter back to inHg rather than hPA as it was in 2020. Or make the WT 530/430 available on the 2020 version of the 172 in 2024.
Seriously, i dont know why they have to take a perfectly functional aspect of FS2020 aircraft and then regress it in FS2024. The C172 needs the old altimeter calibration, or at least a switch so we can choose between a European or US version. [for the altimeter calibration units!]
A post was merged into an existing topic: OBS and ADF not functional since last update + inverted trim wheel
Vents? To blow air through your monitor? Iām sorry but that made me laugh. Of all things, why do you care if the vents work lol? How about being able to do a decent walk around? Check the fuel, dip the tanks, check the hinges, check the rudder wires, check the flap rodsā¦? How about a runup that gives real world results? Like alternator checks, mag dropsā¦ Iāve also noticed the trim wheel is stupidly sensitive compared to the actual plane. Also, has anyone noticed a lack of left-turn tendency on acceleration or takeoff? It seems the plane does too good a job maintaining a straight like under full power (if it only it were that easy).
lol. Why do any of it? Thereās zero risk. Sheesh. All Iām saying is if youāre going to do some of it, might as well do all of it. No consequence either way. That said, some aircraft like BlackSquare stuff do simulate cabin pressure, ventilation, and temperature very well, soā¦
Iāve just started playing with 2024; was a beta tester for 2020. I still spend my time in 2020; thought Iād take some time getting 2024 set up at least. I just donāt understand why there all the regressions. It boggles the mindā¦ Now I feel like Iāve burned way too many hours I could have been enjoying flying in 2020 with teasing out the whys and hows of things just still donāt work right in 2024.
I mainly fly the steam gauge 172; I can confirm that with the Logitech panels, the Avionics Master switch is inop. The fuel pump does nothing. Seems to be the same in the G1000 version; I donāt fly it much though so it wasnāt a priority to test. No control of the instrument lights, which should follow the panel lights which are working. Iām using the current Logitech driver for the panels for testing ā that should be the baseline. I also tried using the built-in support in Axis and Ohs (which replicates the native Logitech driver) instead; the results are the same.
This should be basic stuff copied over from the 2020 version of the 172. Itās been fully functional with the Logitech driver for years now; the 2024 version should pick up right were it left off. And if itās internally known to be buggy then just say so in dev updates and give us some indication that itās in the pipeline to be fixed so we can manage our expectations. I know heavies make all the public impression and might be first in line for fixes and working out their systems, but there are plenty of us who like to fly GA planes with advanced control peripherals. Weād like to feel appreciated as well.
