[MSFS2024] Pilatus PC-12 NGX

The EFB worked fine for me, just build your flight plan in it and hit “Send to Avionics” and it’ll show up in the FMS.

I dont use it. I like manually putting everything in.

Guys, how do I change the Baro from In.Hg to HPA? My eyes can’t find the way to change it :rofl: :rofl:.

Has anyone tried changing the metrics, taking them out of Pounds and putting them in Kg? For example?

Given this is a Carenado plane, have you tried just changing them in the sim settings instead of the plane?

Yes, I use the metric system (sometimes hybrid). I was hoping to be able to change this information in the aircraft system itself as is customary in other Garmin Working Title systems, for example, by easily accessing the PFD menu you can change the barometric pressure unit. Forcing In.Hg is terrible since I fly predominantly in HPA systems. Only when I’m in the US do I change to mercury, but most of it is HPA.

check last 2 messages in this thread, go into avionics menu and change (meters and qnh)
PC12 NGX some random Bugs - Bug Reporting Hub / Aircraft & Systems - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Just want to tell I have the same problem… Hope they fix this.

I have a recurring message “check baro set” that keep appearing even if I delete it.
Not too sure why as I fly at FL 260 in the US where the transistion altitude is at FL180 and all my altimeter are set to standard.

same issue here, i think its a bug

The pressurization and oxygen issue is a bummer… cant fly at altitude for mission flight. Descend or fail mission warning, ignore it b/c what else can you do? oh… boom, mission fail/back on track junk and a huge reputation hit (not that I care about my rep in msfs2024, but it’s going to be super annoying to people that do care).

I am having the same issues, cannot seam to figure it out.

Known issue that Working Title are tracking.

Pressurization not being modeled feels really bad, sucks being altitude limit on flights with any distance. AP response time feels very sluggish? Not sure how to describe it other than sometimes if I don’t point it on track myself it just never finds its way to the FD. Unusable on any step of the approach without disabling the autothrottle.

I also get weird behavior with climbing using FLC where once it reaches the target altitude it switches to ALT hold but still continues to climb anyway and never figures it out, climbing thousands of feet with no end in sight without me switching off AP to correct the issue manually before toggling it back on.

If those major issues are addressed for me I can fly it as a happy camper.

45 minutes into a career flight I got the oxygen warning and soon after I failed the mission, even at 20000 ft.

Asobo really just needs to turn off all the aviator performance BS in career mode until they got it figured out. Not fun at all.

Same here, oxygen warning… and then all goes black, failing mission.

this exact behaviour (along with the porpoising which results from engaging the autothrottle) is why i alt-4’ed out of my first 6 hour(!) medium cargo mission with the Pilatus in career mode. very disappointed with this plane. the autothrottle in particular is so bad at tracking speed that it overshoots down to ground idle–and then the generators turn off. :./

imagine my dismay when I went back to the map and discovered that EVERY SINGLE medium cargo mission was now Pilatus based, and there was not a single mission to be found that used the perfectly servicable and by comparison rock-solid Cessna Grand Caravan.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but after transmitting the plan to FMS, I see it there but the leg is displayed in green and not blue, I select FMS as the nav source but then when NAV is selected on AP it doesn’t follow the leg at all, keep going straight. HDG works though.

You have to press “Activate” in the in-plane mfd.

Yes that what I do but nothing, note that I don’t seem to have this in free flight mode.

20,000 is definitely too high for no supplemental oxygen. If memory serves FAA regulations are that supplemental oxygen is:

Required for pilots after 30 minutes between 12,500 and 14,000 feet
Required for pilots at all times above 14,000 feet
Required to be available to all passengers above 15,000 feet

To avoid the oxygen blackouts in MSFS until pressurization is working you’ll likely have to stay at or below 12,000 feet.
