Thanks,
MSFS Team

I fly a Taurus Electro and I’m impressed by the realism of the Taurus M in MSFS24. I can’t figure out how to retract the prop after takeoff.

Thank you for the feedback! To retract the engine, make sure you are going at a low enough speed, then turn ignition switch off, and propeller mode switch to retracted. You have to be at a low enough speed though or else the propeller will windmill with airflow and not allow propeller braking. Cheers.

It’s an incredible aircraft, it really is very special to fly, I love motor gliders and you’ve done a fantastic job with it. I only have a few thoughts.

  • It would be nice to be able to open the vent/window so I can hear the wind
  • The parking brake doesn’t appear to work, or I cannot work out how to use it (the key command for it does nothing)
  • I’m not sure how much ballast I should be using, but with no ballast I reach the nose-down trim limit when using full flaps and the plane will just fly up into a stall when flying solo
  • I must admit I was expecting the fuses to be functional, it’d be a nice detail if they were
  • I am unsure if I am able to map controls for ignition, extend/retract prop, fuel valves. It’d be nice to add instructions into the manual if this is possible.

Has anyone gotten the Solar panels to work for longer than 45 minutes?

This is a self launching sailplane but it can’t be spawned “cold and dark”, select a parking spot and you end up on the runway, why?
