On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being best), how do you rate your Overall Enjoyment of this aircraft?
Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but Iāve found the cowl flaps to be bugged and not productive in cooling the engine. Anyone else have that problem? Iāve also found itās very difficult to manage engine RPM, but that seems believable to me from what I know about the aircraft, having not had the privilege to fly one myself.
For me the Speed Brake didnāt work
Tried I manual from cockpit and nothing.
On external inspection the speed brake didnāt show and canāt be proofed. Seems they forgot them?
The speed brakes work fine for me; I just have them bound to a slider, but I think theyāre somewhere to the left of you in the cockpit, IIRC.I didnāt discover any issues other than the cowl flaps not cooling.
Maybe double-check whether theyāre considered spoilers or speed brakes? Might need a slightly different bind. I forget if 2024 handles the two separately
I tried them with the lever with blue header on the left side of the cockpit left of the flaps. The tip says speed brake the lever moved but nothing appear and no speed reduction. didnāt have a spare axis on my normal joke, will try to exchange throttle with speed brake and mapping key assignment to it. But in cockpit few should work in first place.
Thanks for the answer
Autopilot only holds the direction in a very poor way. Feels like itĀ“s drunk being in HDG/NAV mode.
Spoilers / āairbrakesā have no real effect. When these things are out, the bird should descend really fast. The angle of attack would also have to be changed here, otherwise it sags. (So that it would be realistic)
Itās an open class glider, if you donāt nail the approach the airbrake handle is more something to hold onto as you go through the hedge at the far end of the runway.
My big question is āwhere is the cruise/climb switch?ā. That and the almost total lack of adverse yaw is why the gliders in MSFS are such a joke to the gliding community.
The Cruise Climb switch is betwenn the seats
"TakeOf/Cruise)
It is a toggle switch located behind the throttle
Still i find the speedbrakes to weak.
As example
Arcus with fully extended spoilers, gets a sink rate of more than 6-7 m/s
I find the rudder in msfs2024 much closer to reality than in msfs2020. Now you can really push hard without virtually falling out of the thermal (nearly). In 2020, the thermal has disappeared after a courageous kick in the rudder - just as you would do in real life to circle thermals
The cruise climb switch between the seats changes the prop pitch. Cruise/climb in a glider is a vital switch affecting the vario mode switching it from āclimb toneā to āspeed to fly toneā used for cross country soaring.
