Thanks,
MSFS Team

Sound does not change in conjunction with propeller RPM changes.

It’s such a shame that the Texan has just been clearly ported over from MS2020 with little or no love for it all. Visually it’s quite nice inside but it lacks really basic features and is lumbered with awful liveries.

Exactly the same can be said of the Mustang. They really could have used a lot more love, considering how special the aeroplane is.

Can anybody else see that the Texan has messed up propeller textures when you walk up to it?

I can’t get it to move, the interior sounds like you’re under water, and the outside textures are just awful. Cockpit textures are OK. Please make it possible to add liveries, and make it fly, like this it is a complete nono for me

Can you enter the rear cockpit ?

Yes, the rear cockpit can be set in the camera settings of the menu bar. I really enjoy the Texan, but none of my Reno versions appear in 2024, only the basic set aircraft.

Thanks for your reply I will have a closer look at the camera views.

Why can’t the canopy of this aircraft be opened?

It feels like an easy FS2020 port.

What is a “chover”?

Anyone have any sucess actually flying this?

I took off and within minutes the engine shutdown and I could not discern why.

Then, when I crashed, I was given a “Back on track” message and was put back in the air. I don’t have any sort of assistance setting that controls that functionality. I have all assistances turned off, as well.

I cannot swing a dead cat without striking an issue with this sim.

Sigh.

I have been flying the basic reno T-6 version. I have had trouble with the mixture control. I leave it full rich regardless of altitude. I have mixture bound to a control axis and leaning causes the engine to shut down. The in-sim mixture control lever doesn’t move. I have not tested any of the extra T-6 varieties yet because they have not appeared in my hanger yet.

I am not flying the one reno version that I purchased in 2020. It doesn’t even appear in My Library.

This is what I have been flying:

My mistake then. I assumed that was the basic Reno package airplane. Regardless, that is the plane I have been using in MSFS2024. I flew it in last Friday’s Community Fly-In with no issues.

Well, now I know.

How helpful.

Where are the fuel guages? Why doesn’t the prop pitch change the sound characteristics? Why are so many controls just not implemented? Why is the mixture essentially useless as anything other than fuel on fuel off? Terrible simulation. I’ve flown the real thing. This is junk.

On the floor flanking each side of the seat.

EDIT:

What is also screwy is there are no fuel tanks in the Mass and Balance section of the EFB, so how do you se the fuel on this thing?

Are there any other liveries that work with this aircraft in MSFS2024?
