They were asking why their avionics screens went all black then came back on some time later. I don’t think that had anything to do with the Oxygen Deprivation and Pressurization bug.
No clue, only flew PC12.
yep, you’re right - misread it. Apologies. Probably some phenomenal Asobo bug.
While PC-12 pressurisation is borked, PC-24 works, you don’t even have to turn on the oxygen so it’s kinda borked in the opposite direction, as all the pressure control settings are disabled - and there is even a climb/descend selector around the throttle.
Isn’t this the Siimworks from MSFS 2020?
Am I correct in understanding that currently VNAV is not functioning? I simply cannot (or figure out how to) get the plane to descend at TOD on a flight plan. Its also not taking the glidepath. I keep overflying the airport. Also, i agree, the G1000 is orders of magnitude better in VR than this screen. Its very difficult to read.
Posted above. Read through this whole topic. Lots of good info shared.
thanks. Im doing a lot of that, but the nomenclature differences from the G1000 have me confused. thank you! It seems to work about half the time for me, the other half, im always in 0/0 vis and cant figure it out. reading your comment again, I think selecting vectors was my issue. Ill do straight from now on in career since we arent simulating traffic or ATC. you rock, i appreciate the help.
No worries. I got my answer thanks.
No. It’s from Caranado. Whether or not they just took their 2020 version and added WT’s Honeywell avionics I don’t know, but like all their aircraft it’s pretty shallow. I wish it was indeed SWS that had done it, but alas it is not.
VNAV works well. If it doesn’t, it most likely means you forgot to dial down the selected altitude.
Also (I can’t check it now) it might be necessary to have proper altitudes set in FMS. In most cases you won’t have set that by default (assuming VFR approach) so you might need to set that up as well.
I keep getting a “compare fuel quantity” warning in the MFD, I have tried to manually enter the fuel amount to match the fuel tank reading, hit compute, which clears the warning, for about 5 minutes or whatever then it comes back?
It’s not really affecting anything as such, just anoying seeing that warning there.
Yeah, I usually will get that message once every flight.
Are you hitting Reset Fuel after start up?
Now that I’ve said that I’m wondering if I’m confusing my planes haha.
This is in vision jet
This seems a bug, no matter what you do it will always complain about fuel. Maybe it’s just a quirk in honeywell settings, because I’d think (no expert) that if you entered fuel weight in the computer it would track it but it seems to be always the same. Then it’s part of your pilot’s job to track fuel usage, too, and compare with the expected values…
No, it was this aircraft. On the lower MFD:
I do find it amusing it says I’ve used 1lb here when I never even started the engines. Must have a hole in the tank
This message might also be a result of the overall fuel issues in 2024 that I mentioned in the PC-24 thread, which is that a lot of planes seem to be calculating fuel density and thus weight incorrectly.
The FMS calculates how much fuel you SHOULD have by the fuel flow sensors, and compares that to the fuel quantity sensors which work on weight. If they differ by too much (I think 2%) this message appears.
So if you reset the fuel after engine start, they should stay aligned unless there is a bug in the avionics that is causing them to be measured improperly. Wouldn’t surprise me.
Hi thanks for this.
I tried using the reset fuel button as well.
So, as per the screenshot below, in the fuel weight section on the center screen I am putting in the fuel amount to match the main fuel reading, putting in a dummy cargo weight (say 50lbs) putting in passenger to 1, doing this it’ll let you hit compute, so I do that. Then also hit the fuel reset button.
However after a afew minutes of flying the warning just comes back up again. The fuel amount in the center screen doesnt seem to change at all, which I think is what is triggering the warning.
Its a bug. I have tried resetting the fuel and still receive the message to check fuel quantity at least once per flight.
I must admit actually, now I am getting to grips with this aircraft and starting to learn its little foibles, it is actually a pleasure to fly.
Its FAR more capable than the Cessna Grand Caravan, I really didn’t get on with that aircraft, this is just a dream to fly in comparison.
The navigation system takes a bit of getting used to, the fact you have to set the navigation source to FMS on BOTH the pilot side AND the copilot side, is just…
I need to get my head around the VNAV, so it’s controlling the auto throttle and height a bit better, I use FLC for the climb as the speed it set, that at least seems to work, but when I try it for decent the thing literally dives at the gound overspeeding, but I am sure that is me not doing something correctly. For now at least, im manually controlling the speed and controlling the altitude on decent using vertical speed mode, which I know isnt correct.
I did manage to get it to land using the RNAV system 1 mission ago, I waited until the thing was lined up with the runway on the last leg of the flightpath, hit the “activate” button on the MFD, and the thing found the glidepath ( I was already quite low) and landed itself, very rewarding.
