[MSFS2024] Cessna 400 Corvalis TT

It seems to be sim-wide. So far, that and the overly bright glass cockpit displays when your flight session starts in darkness is spread across all the stock aircraft so far.

It almost feels like the gear are too rigid. There are a couple planes that behave like this, even a few from 2020 that didnā€™t exhibit that behavior there. Just a hair of rudder or even some minute differential brakes and it gets pretty wild.

Quick view cameras (as built-in defined by the sim - i.e., directly forward, directly aft, port/starboard, 045/120) are all broken.

yep, thats the light.

or too flexible. like i have flat tires and too-supple gear legs

Yeah, maybe. We need to be able to play with the configs to see how it reacts.

The lack of an elevator trim indicator is driving me mad. I would make this my go-to aircraft in the sim but you have no idea where the trim is once youā€™ve landed, so you canā€™t fly the return leg! So frustrating.

I canā€™t find a pitot heat switch or references to such a switch in the checklists. I have to assume the aircraft manages pitot heat automatically? Does this work for everyone but me? Do I need to CTRL+E this plane to get Pitot Heat?

edit: I might have accumulated too much ice while sitting on the ground for the Pitot Heat to melt. LNM reported ā€œ100% Pitot iceā€ on the ground and during climb, but it melted or sublimated after about 10-20 minutes in cruise. Context: career mode VIP transport mission from KBWI, live weather and live time enforced (using the ā€œZULU MINUTESā€ workaround).

Welp, I found this panel diagram online somewhere. The problem is Iā€™m not sure which model and factory configuration Carenado used to make this plane.

Even the keyboard is defunct. All the versions I could find in terms of online photos were at least updated to a GTC vice the GCU in the sim.

Circled section is where Pitot heat is supposed to be. But we know thereā€™s only a couple of switches there and some are INOP.

Thanks for the reference image. I eventually found the Pitot Heat switch in a group of switches to the left of the backup instruments and PFD that my brain had misidentified as warning lights and covered with a blind spot. On the reference image, itā€™s where the number 8 is pointing.

I need a higher res VR headset. :smiley:

(Also, there was no CAS message, which made me think that it could be automated.)

Ah nice. Now I know where to look for it too.

Can anyone confirm that keybinds for Master Avionics is not working correctly? The bind works for other stock planes in '24 so I suspect this is a configuration for Carenado to fix.
