wow, thats a weird one, did you test several different places?
maybe that happens only at addond fields?
i cant imagine thats something in the sim, i am doing all the time soft fields in.
different planes… i dont have this one…and will wait it out …i hear too many issues.
you need to test a bit further…really weird and yes first time i hear of it.
I have tested it on different locations over the globe.
Even on a vanilla dirt strip in the middle of the Sahara with barely any scenery around - same issue.
I have contacted the developer already, lets see. I should note I have purchased the marketplace version.
Some of the steering complains are right, but this plane hasn’t got steering front wheel, it only turns by brake pedals (by the way: not real sound as we know).
So the develeper has chosen hard model to represent, don’t know if MSFS platform is capable for aplying flight models not to steer on ground with the wheel, but in a same time to use tail on a takeoff with the pedals 
Think it’s obvious.
Maybe the developer could reduce steer sens on the ground to “ultra minimum”, so no one would try to use the front wheel 
P.S.: no FPS drop for me in ultra on monitor, and middle/high on VR in any scenery and any airport.

about magnetos…
they are always on 1+2 when cold and dark (should be switched to 0 only before start, it is for maintanance of the engine) and it should have no battery in that case, which is always taken off in a long parking.

magnetos are also off for me after loading.
But I have no FPS problems when rolling on soft ground.
But from the beginning I had the problem that my radio displays did not show any numbers despite the battery being switched on, etc.
after taking a look at the panel.cfg, i also found the error …
In the panel.cfg he looks for the gauges files in the same folder where the panel.cfg is stored:
gauge02 = ND_Yak18T! adfRadioFreq1.xml, 0,257,460,128
But they are saved 2 folders beforehand in a “Gauges \ ND_Yak18T” folder.
That’s why they are not loaded.
So for a test, I copied the ND_Yak18T folder with the gauges it contained into the livery folder wich containes the panel.cfg and then adjusted the layout.json file.
And oh ha there are numbers in the display’s and i can use the radios now ^^
I already pointed out the error to the developer 3 days ago but haven’t received an answer yet …

yeah doesn´t work with marketplace because of secured files
As I said, I sent a description of the error and how to fix it to the developer, let’s see, I hope that he will fix the error quickly but somehow don’t believe in it …
- flap sound;
- brake sound;
- gauges on panel are not in the same order as at 18T (1 products), and nowdays 18t 36 series (which got US Honeywell gauges and even GPS);
- PU-26 doesn’t work and it won’t work without special gauge, which mentionted before (look at the BW picture);
- only one stage for flap;
- not working pneumatics gauge on the start (when put on first five switches on the left panel, gauges should work, and not after putting on second switch on right panel);
- when above 170 km/h on the approach and use flap (1 and only stage) the plane has got very high lift (pitch up), it is not made;
- when pilot test the engine after start with magneto to 1 and 2, he should see 5% power loss, not more (power decrease is not made);
That things, mentioned above, should be redesigned by author.
Anyway, the flying model itself and the “look” of the plane are very good and enough for me, as stated before.
Good luck!

So the ground stuff already putted the battery on board for You and second pilot prepared your cabin, no worries ))
Fully agree with Your opinion for the price and “cost”, it should be more complex and ready to fly not only with visual pleasure, but with correctly working gauges and so on.

So… this makes me wonder if I got a different version than Sam. I know the developer apparently updated the installer which didn’t work for some people (mine worked fine)… but Magnetos starting in different positions for different people is a little weird…
I still love this aircraft. My biggest gripes with it are switches being in wrong positions at cold and dark (same as their Aerolite), the inability to toggle the yokes to off, and touchy steering - it seems the sensitivity is WAY too high for rudder input on the ground.
But I will agree with Sam, I am now at a point where I think a major update is needed. That’s how things roll sometimes - sometimes you get something and your initial impression stays with you (in case of DC-6)… sometimes the initial impression is bad (Grumman Widgeon) and then either with updates or time it can become one of my favourite aircraft, as was the case with the Widgeon… And sometimes, like with Yak-18, the initial satisfaction goes down somewhat after issues start to either pop up or annoy you - sometimes you don’t notice things right away and once you do, there is no going back… I have always provided these “reviews” as initial snapshots of how I feel about the aircraft. They are by no means comprehensive, as I generally spend about 45 mins or so with the plane before I write about it. That’s not nearly enough to be too in-depth and so the impression may change over time. But I do maintain that my initial opinion is just that - it’s mine and it’s initial. All of it is subject to change. I still like my Yak-18. I don’t have ANY FPS issues either. But I DO hope Nemeth updates it soon.

Theres now a new updated Version 101 on Simmarket: nemeth-yak18t_v101.zip
But i find no changelog anywhere and ofcourse my radios are still dark anyways, so i had to fix them again by myself…
Steering on ground still the same, sounds still the same so no clue what so ever has changed^^
Just checked Your video. In the first startup:
1.magnetos to 0;
2.first five switches on left panel to On;
3.pneumatic open (should check opening by gauge, but it doesn’t work), fuel valve open;
4.pump the fuel to manifold four times (should check the left arrow of the gauge with three arrows and yellow circle (on the right bottom of center panel)). Cylinders fuel pump is just an extra (for very hot temp outside) and not necessary.
5.push the start engine button then in one second to magneto 1, then 2, then 1 + 2… And keep it like this (1+2) for all flight.
Maybe Nemeth’s made the real thing when pilot is over filling the fuel to cylinders (so there is no way to move the pistons).
But what is seen on Your video, is that engine on first part of video has no fuel pressure. Normal pressure is 0,2-0,3 (which You have in third part of video).
Hope developer will make “engine pressure/manifold pressure/celinder temp gauge” and correct startup functioning…
No such problem with my model, by the way 
I just saw that their own store has version 101 too… No notifications, nothing… no changelog. If I haven’t looked there after your post, I would have never known.
I see the developer is still clueless about running an effective digital goods distribution operation.

Well, I am on Attempt #3 to download the new version from Nemeth directly. The download cuts off short every time (at different points)… Also the download speed is like… 500kb/sec. God, their site sucks so bad.
Maybe with a download manger program it is better ?
Got an backup of your old files that worked just “fine”? Just in case you now get the same bugs as others here?
Would be a shame to change to the new version just to see everything gets worse^^
I am NOT installing a download manager for ONE terrible website. Sorry. I can only jump through so many fire hoops before I say F IT. I am too curmudgeony and accustomed to sensible design.

Yup. The previous version is backed up.
I have never been more sorry to have bought direct. NEVER AGAIN for these people. Should have waited for SimMarket. Attempt #7 failed. Sent an e-mail to developer asking for a working download, a changelog, and update notifications.

Thinking about what can go wrong with this addon it’s currently a pass for me.
