On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being best), how do you rate your Overall Enjoyment of this aircraft?
PSA: As it stands at the moment don’t use this aircraft for anything longer than a 10 minute flight. There is a big causing you to lose all displays and electrics during flight.
When doing first flight activity: Pilot sits in back of aircraft while head sticks outside and passenger keeps the entire flight walking outside the aircraft.
I spent several hours in this airplane in MSFS 2020 with NeoFly since it was the only light sport with autopilot and loved it.
The 2024 version with flaps up, full throttle, and rpm set to 5400 reached 250+ kts in level flight. Of course, all the flight controls broke, aircraft crashed, etc.
This appears to be one of many planes only included to increase the number of aircraft for marketing purposes. Don’t waste the bandwidth and the space in your rolling cache until it got some TLC.
I tried it in VR. Not only is the performance totally unrealistic, my impression is that there must be something wrong with the proportions of the model as well. There is no way an adult would be able to fit into this cockpit.
I agree that something is just terribly wrong in the MSFS2024 version. Someone in the Asobo team simply borked the engine-flight model combination when they moved from FS20 to FS24. In MSFS2020, the Virus was a delight to fly - even in default configuration. (The MGouge424 tweaks seemed helpful too.) I would love for Asobo to make the effort to restore their previously fine flight model quality for this interesting and delightful little aircraft. … Would it help to say Please?
I agree quite a few bugs. NAV mode on the Garmin autopilot seems inop. I can upload a flight plan via the EFB, it shows perfectly on the MFD, but the aircraft in NAV On mode just won’t follow through the waypoints. HDG, ALT and VS seem to work ok, although ALT sometimes gets stuck in the On mode. Anyone else experiencing this?
Typical climb/cruise settings should be in the pilot operating handbook (POH) which can often be found by googling for it. I don’t fly this often enough to remember the numbers, sorry.
sorry to ruin someones day but I flew today for a longer time VFR/IVAO - cross-county and it was just terrible.
the garmin430 was missing so many functions I do not start to list
the flight model is somehow terrible - e.g. at landing - after a very long gliding phase it falls on the ground like a rock, no matter how you try to manage slowing down. the reactions to the stick are like digital inputs transferred 1:1, no feeling at all.
engine / speed management: turning flaps into -1 caused an overspeed crash wtihout changing trust and prop (both ~ 70%) - it was like activating a TOGA button - it was really funny, I laughed.
4)PFD - changing the QNH somehow do not change the altitude - the autopilot does not accept the altitude (?) I could not really figure out why I am not on my assigned altitude vs. the altitude I was trying to set - something was not really working here either
so, I will switch back to third party UL’s inculding an AP, it is a mystery how Pipistrel can give their Logo to this kind of a virtual product.
Anyone who is wondering why the plane is accelerating quickly, do not use flap -1. It seems to be bugged on other airplanes as well. Negative flaps has negative drag values probably, which is kind of like thrust. Or you can use negative flaps as speed boost
If you put the flaps fully up it will actucally go to the negative position instead of neutral. You can check the current position based on the flaps handle position between the seats.
