The new defaults should probably match the information you can see in the weight and loading area for the default / stock Longitude. Empty weight, left / right fuel, and stations have changed. I suspect OnAir has updated according to new stock settings.

longitude

here is what it shows for stats in OA, not sure if this helps. i did try to change empty weight to match 23389 but still errored out.

Checked with OnAir, works perfectly on myside, with some capacity fix.
Please align your next OnAir-Version with Asoboā€™s 1080 fuel tank and 11 station_point.

Just 2 edits in Flight_model.CFG will make your v1.42 compatible with OnAirā€™s Longitude [ Mk.2 ]. Details -

How to work with OnAir

  • [ Cessna Longitude Mk.2 ] as at 23 DEC

Edit 1 - replace station_load 11 items (instead of 14).

station_load.0 = 170, 19.5, -1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PILOT, 1
station_load.1 = 170, 19.5, 1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.COPILOT, 2
station_load.2 = 0, 4.5, -1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PASSENGER_01, 3
station_load.3 = 0, 4.5, 1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PASSENGER_02, 3
station_load.4 = 170, 2.5, -1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PASSENGER_03, 3
station_load.5 = 170, 2.5, 1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PASSENGER_04, 3
station_load.6 = 0, -1.5, -1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PASSENGER_05, 3
station_load.7 = 0, -1.5, 1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PASSENGER_06, 3
station_load.8 = 170, -5.5, -1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PASSENGER_07, 3
station_load.9 = 170, -5.5, 1.2, 4, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.PASSENGER_08, 3
station_load.10 = 200, -15.5, 0, 0, TT:MENU.PAYLOAD.BAGGAGE_01, 6

Edit 2 - Fuel Tank set to OA approved values;

LeftMain = -7.5, -9, 0.5, 1080, 6 ;
RightMain = -7.5, 9, 0.5, 1080, 6

Thatā€™s all. Simply 2 places to edit in the single flight_model.cfg
Good luck! Merry Xā€™Mas & Happy New Year!

Although unrelated to the mod, I saw this issue on another thread and thought I would post here too. I notice when in external view there are no control surface animations when in flight. I see the animations when on the ground and on touchdown but once airborne, the control surfaces no longer move when viewing the Longitude externally? Anyone else notice this?

289

I donā€™t see the problem if I understand you correctly.
in Ext. View by press-[End]-key, I can see the flaps / trim animation according to my (or AP) control. (just an odd thing the Flag degree is always showing 0 in any working Flap 0-3)

Maybe you upload a screencap in another topic?

290

Everything seems to be working fine on my end

291

Since Asobo has changed some of the stats of the default Longitude now, does it still work with OnAir? Or will OnAir now update to match the new default Longitude?

292

You are my hero

293

Is there any way of stopping the LANDING GEAR LANDING GEAR warning from top of descent to final approach when you DO actually lower the landing gear?

294

If there is, I havenā€™t found it. I did find a reference section to it in one of the .cfg files, but changes to this section had no effect. I believe itā€™s buried in the XML files that are still encrypted. I sure would like to fix this if I could.

295

Actually there is a way but it deactivates the gear warning permanently. I am using it sinceā€¦

open the systems.cfg
navigate to the
[GEAR_WARNING_SYSTEM]
section and change
gear_warning_available = 1
to
gear_warning_available = 0

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

296

This didnā€™t work prior to the last Asobo update. Iā€™ve tried several times. Perhaps Asobo have now activated this .cfg file section. I will test on my end and report back as well.

297

Aye!

Just finished a flight and the gear warning was dead silent.

Just another dumb questionā€¦
Do you think its possible to fix that IAS/MACH twist bug?

299

Thatā€™s almost certainly coded in XML thatā€™s encrypted. I havenā€™t found any place in .cfg files that controls this.

I didnā€™t get the same result. Still getting the landing gear warning.

301

Hm strangeā€¦
hereā€™s the complete section of the systems.cfg that comes with your mod:
[GEAR_WARNING_SYSTEM]
gear_warning_available = 0 ; Normal
pct_throttle_limit = -0.10000 ; Percent throttle that activates warning
flap_limit_idle = 35.00000 ; Flap angle that activates warning at idle
flap_limit_power = 35.00000 ; Flap angle that activates warning at above idle

Works for me for whatever reason.

302

Iā€™ll double check my work. Glad itā€™s working for you! It annoys the snot out of me.

303

Still no joy for me.

304

Thatā€™s not a bug. Itā€™s supposed to change from IAS to Mach when you push it. And itā€™s working correctly.
