New update! Looks cool, and we get window animations!
That not too big of an issue for me! Glad we even have it!
Gonna go fly it now and see if itâs better now!
Is the GNS still broken? Is ATC still dead from cold and dark no matter what you do?
Test flight with v1.0.3. A couple of things, the oil temp is now very low, rather than redlined all the time? Also it appears like the altimeter is reading 1000â low during a climb out from sea level with the 000âs needle initially a 1000â behind the true altitude. The pilot model position on the outside view is too high, the top of his headset comes through the cockpit roof. RPM now limited to around 2800 but still too easy to overspeed

The GNS broken knob works now. And as far as the ATC goes, no its still brokeâŠI dunno why anyone would want the in game atc though lol
The broken outer knob on the right worksâŠas far as setting frequencyâsâŠread the change log 
I dunno why anyone would want the in game atc though lol
Um. Because I do? I donât have issues with them unless I am flying into an uncontrolled airport.

Just did a test flight with a new update.
POSITIVE:
- The big knob on the GNS530 now works, so flight plan alterations can be done! Yay!
NEGATIVE:
- Com/Nav channels still canât be tuned on the GNS unit.
- ATC from cold and dark still canât work.
- Flight model got WORSE. Even if at gentle and slow taxi, pressing brakes and rudder input MAY cause it to do a near 180 on the ground in a split second. Itâs still a twichy mess on takeoff - if you advance the throttle gently, it doesnât accelerate fast enough to Vr. If you DO advance it, prepare for it to try to pull to the left and leave the runway. I barely was able to keep it there. Itâs now literally impossible to get it to bleed off any speed. I have literally been in a descent less than -500 VS and ZERO throttle (verified that the tooltip shows 0) for MINUTES, and there was no way I could get it to even slow below 100 knots, let alone 80. So I activated flaps in overspeed condition. The GOOD news is that it now provides lift, it seems. The BAD news is that it doesnât seem to provide ANY drag.
This is still an unfortunate disaster when it comes to flying and avionics issues.
Sorry I donât have better news.

we do not have the same computers and all the hardware insoide and all the difdferent
possible millions of configurations , it does not surprise me at all.
and dont forget the level of knowledge of the user !!!

Same experience as Jeremy with the latest build. Flight itself feels a bit better to me, but itâs still almost impossible to not overspeed⊠even at 50% throttle, level flight, I am in the red. It will NOT slow down at all, I end up having to fly the pattern a couple times to reach flap speed. The ground handling is terrifying.
Good news for me is that the elevator works MUCH better now, thank you for that!

Beware that you need to install v1.0.2 first and then the much smaller v1.0.3 hotfix patch
v1.0.4 just hit my in-box
1st test of v1.0.4. In summary itâs getting better 
My thoughts in the video description.

Yup, I couldnât lose altitude fast enough and I was at idle a couple of miles out (not a good place to be) lol and I HATE flying from outside the cockpit lol
Kev
It takes a lot more than a critic on my landing to bother me lol. I know it was rubbish BUT it was one video, take off to landing, rather than choosing the best attempt out of 10 and editing them together Informational rather than ârate my landingâ style.
Love that approach on your video but I spent more time watching the altimeter doing the same weird stuff it does on mine

yup you can manually set the starting altitude of the airstrip if you know it using the small knob lower left of the gauge or use B for std barometric pressure. But as you climb up to 1000â the 00âs needle moves around the gauge once but the 000âs needle doesnât move at all (and it should of moved towards 1000) until you hit 1000â so it is lagging by a 1000â

This latest version is much, much better. Thank you BRSim!

Just did a test.
NOW weâre talking. It flies MUCH better! So, THANK YOU for that, ReichertB.
Itâs still a bit twitchy as far as ground handling, but⊠I can live with that.
Takeoff went smooth, acceleration/lift looks good, flaps provide lift AND drag, itâs now possible to slow down to the airspeed at which you can safely deploy flaps!
Now for the remaining parts:
- ATC is still dead
- No com/nav frequency changes on GNS
- TINY little sound thing - all the switches have a sound associated with them, except for Aux Pump. That one is silent.
If we can get THESE fixes, this will be solid!

I havent been able to test the new updateâŠit wont install the textures, all I get is a bare white model. Ive tried to install many times, all failed
