indeed. flying from RJAF to RKNY with full simbrief support and i’ve input the correct V speeds. life is good. European and American PC-24 mission, on the other hand… 
this input curve puts the TCA Throttle’s FLEX gate exactly on 98% N1 at cruise altitude.
perfecto.
with all due respect to the Asobo team they completely botched the planes with the emphasis on rendering the grounds, animals, etc. It was a question of funding the problem maybe.

I usually set Vr at 110 and pitch trim up 3.0deg and she seems to struggle to get off the ground. I’ve noticed the MTOW in the sim in north of 30,000lbs in the EFB before a cargo mission but IRL the MTOW is 17,750 which it feels overweight on takeoff and landing not sure if that’s an issue in the sim but she wouldn’t fly at almost double to MTOW
I usually fly my approach between 110-120 indicated and feel like I’m dragging it in on final plus I get the audible stall warning in the flair, still well inside the green on the speed tape. From the videos I’ve seen of the real airplane it definitely feels overweight in the sim

it’s not a funding issue. just look at the broken default Asobo planes from MSFS 2020 that weren’t fixed for four years despite fundamental issues being raised in the BETA.

i found that fully stabilized, gear down and full flaps on approach, the stall speed according to the tape was around 110 knots. this is despite the specs on pilatus-aircraft.com listing approach speed as 102 knots.
also, i noticed just as i touched down that the autopilot had for some reason trimmed 100% nose up, which made for a floaty landing. i had to jam the nose onto the runway. not ideal. otherwise the flight went really well, using the V speeds and 0.7M cruise settings from my earlier post.

After Go Around and holding the FMC got bugged. Unable to exit the hold and activate the new approach (I click the “Activate” or the “Cancel” button but it didn’t do anything, also the FMC didn’t recognice when it exited the hold after passing the holding fix with the “exit hold” mode activated)
Is this a normal amount of nose up trim for the climb?
I climb at 240 IAS until M.600
This amount of trim seems excessive for climb and cruise
Climb:
Cruise:
given that whenever i disconnect the autopilot at 1000 ft after a 3 degree DESCENT the autopilot has been holding a continuous 6 degree (100%) nose-up trim, no, i don’t think it’s normal. i think the trim system is seriously whacked.

The quality control seems almost nonexistent.
Some fuel burn numbers from my most recent flight
MYAC → KACZ (a hair over 600nm)
Start → TOC and accelerate to M.710: 1205lbs used
Cruise: 1355lb used
TOD → Shutdown: 305lb used
Total fuel used: 2865lbs
total flight time per the logbook: 1:51
I was going to say that was over half the planes fuel capacity to go 600nm but when I went back to the sim to check I found the lack of quality control very evident
Career Mode: IDK where they got that MTOW that’s nearly double the planes actual MTOW. max allowable fuel is also different from Free Flight
Free Flight Mode:
Here is my trim that was needed on approach (4.9deg up). Someone above said that they had to force the nose down when landing and I had to as well. flew the approach at about 120-130 for it to feel normal and she doesn’t want to land at that speed. Also noticed that as soon as the mains touched but the nose wheel was off the ground still I had very little rudder authority, a crosswind almost brought me off the runway. At 100+ KIAS I should have good rudder authority

I have seen a post elsewhere on the forum which suggests that at least one of the twin engine planes has its total fuel burn counted twice.

Yea I usually have to take close to 2x the amount of fuel that the management tab in career says I’ll need

Fuel in general is kind of whacked in the sim across all planes. In many cases the fuel density is incorrect, so the mass versus volume is wrong. In many planes the fuel is only reading one tank or the other tank, or reading twice what the tanks hold.
Even the C172 which is probably the most bug free of all the aircraft seems to read fuel remaining completely wrong about half the time, often only counting one tank.

not to mention how weight and balance obviously are just cosmetic values, since you can bind a key to “add fuel” and instantly go from empty to full tanks in mid-flight and the flight model doesn’t react at all.
…unless the “add fuel” keybind does so without updating the weight, which is a possible, i suppose.

Does anyone else have the issue of not having any charter vip missions in career mode with your company on the pc 24 cuz I’ve seen stuff ab the cj also when is the live weather and live traffic gonna be fixed in career mode I can’t fly at night and I have all my certs done

Far as I can tell the PC-24 is only avail in Private charter. VIP gets into the bigger birds

Ya but do the missions populate for the pc 24 for you guys cuz mine wasn’t
i’m now having a serious problem with the PC-24 which has persisted through several restarts. all of a sudden, after flying it numerous times with great results, the engines simply won’t ignite. even with CTRL-E the ignition temperature never rises above 6 degrees. has anyone else encountered this issue?

I have, the right engine sits at 4.8% N1, with the START annunciator lit? Same thing, either manually trying to reignite, or ‘CTRL+E’ doesn’t seem to work.
When the engines won’t start if I flip Gen 2 off and on quickly it lets it get higher until the ignitors is able to catch and start the engine around 10% n2. Takes a couple rounds to get it up that high. I think I tried it with Gen 1 and it didn’t help only Gen 2 did the trick.
Note that I have an HC Alpha and have both Gens and Batt mapped on the yoke so I click it off using the mouse and it automatically goes back on because of the yoke switch.
