Had a flight in the vision jet where i was sitting on the wing the whole time, but as it was a vip mission i just came to the conclusion the passenger had some serious issiues with gas or body odour
Thanks - I will try that.
But thatâs not a thing in real life aviation, correct?
It is a real thing. The real Virus has positive flaps at 0°, +9.5° & +20° deg and negative flaps at -5°.
I think the Junkers Ju 52 has a negative flap setting for cruise if I remember correctly. There is something somewhat different about the flaps with it, too.
Looked it up and youâre correct. Just didnât encounter it while using the plane in MFS2020. Itâs all about fuel and cruise efficiency.

Just like to note that the Pipistrel Virus is very much better in MSFS2024 SU1. (It now seems similar to the MSFS2020 experience.) Thanks to the team at Asobo.

Avatar still pushed backward from pilot seating position and sticking out of the fuselage after SU1. Everything seems okay when first entering the plane, but then the bug appears after âinitiating serviceâ and loading pax in career mode.
Also the engine oil cap goes transparent and you can see through to the tarmac if you just back up slightly when inspecting.
The whole texture looks also grainy. Please fix.
The plane feels âOKâ to fly. As someone with zero experience, it seems to at least behave like a plane would, but I didnât go into stall and spin testing so take this just as a generic âit doesnât feel completely like an UFOâ: it behaved well on the ground, all phases of flight felt correct, the landing felt appropriate for such a small nimble plane.
Everything else is a disaster. The entire avionics suite seems implemented about only 50%. The onboard Garmin has basically no accessible pages, I canât even seem to change the barometer units. Trying to import a plan from the EFB fails. Trying to set up a plan inside the plane doesnât really work - I managed to set a waypoint but while it did show up in the flight map, it didnât show up on the flight plan (!) - itâs just a mess.
What did work is setting an ILS frequency and following it on the glideslope once I set the localizer on the CDI.
Overall a really bad experience.
Personal Comments and Observations
Even in 2020 the Virus got a bit of short-shrift IMO and I flew this plane a lot in Bush Trips (lifted the PLN files and flew them in free flight).
The real problem is thereâs no capacity to update the Portrait oriented version of the G3X. That would make the flying experience so much better and up to date with the newer sim. The rest of it, Flight Model performance, handling, 3D Art - Jorg needs to find strike teams to fill the gaps.
Why is that? G3X not worked on by anyone?
Working Title has no capacity to revise it IIRC.
