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.

Seems a little off.

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.

It’s just plain broken (pun intended). The throttle doesn’t seem to power back properly. It has unrealistic speeds. Another piece of shovelware.

I fly this aircraft in real and in the simulator it’s not even close in terms of flight dynamics/performance etc. Absolutely useless.

Absurd flight model

engine rpm at bottom of green arc / prop at 50% and plane exceeds Vne at 3000’ in level flight

engine rpm at 80% / prop at 90% plane climbs at 3000 fpm

engine at idle still flies at 120 IAS in level flight

landed at 60knots -400fpm and plane did not bounce, did not shutter, acted like it was a smooth greased on landing

absolutely worthless aircraft!

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’m able to fly the plane. But I need to adjust the blue stick manually to regulate rpm.

Does anyone know how it is called (it has no toolips) or know the name in settings to bound it to keyboard or controller?

It’s the propeller pitch control.
