We don’t have the Ground Spoiler button anymore, it was replaced with a Fuel Recirculation Button, the pedestal needs a lot of work, the pitch roll disconnect should be in normal, the control lock off and many more that I have noted.

After less than 48 hours they closed the form. First come first serve as opposed to seeking out actual experts in the field. The last time they had a question on the aircraft I teach they reached out and contacted myself and a few others. So they know who the experts are. Interestingly they decided to use this method.
They also boasted in one of their partnership videos that they already included Textron and had their expert pilots review everything and the products were accurate representations. I suspect they had the information they needed and choose not to implement it. That really makes me question the goals and intent of this program. I am also not willing to sign another NDA to submit reports and be blown off yet again. My company charges $300 an hour for consultation with senior instructor pilots, let them pay the going rates for experts.

Hey there,
I dont know who is able to do it you Darkfly or the people at WT but is it possible to make it so autothrottle during climb and descent dont overspeed by changing the reference speed from kts to .M?
Why don’t you just change the speed to mach in the cockpit using the push button?
I’m not sure what you mean here. Do you mind explaining? Otherwise I agree with @mdapol. Also, the climb speeds are established, so why not just follow them?
Example im descending from 45000ft to 2500ft with AP and AT on i have the speed set on .8M when i cross the 30000ft the plane still holds the .M speed but in KTS its now almost 330. What i mean is that in WT created CJ4 its implemented that its changing holding the .M speed to holding the KTS speed when in that scenario. I wanted to know if its possible to implement it in Longitude?
And yes i know i can manually do it.
I don’t think he is changing speeds from knots to Mach during the climb
Yes i am and the CJ4 does it automatically.
Fairly certain it would be something on WT’s end with their g3000
If that’s a feature of the Working Title CJ4, that’s not something Dakfly could implement unless he collaborates with WT, and there is a way to do it given the encryption challenge around the Longitude.
What not all users may know is that the CJ4 is heavily modded by WT - so you need to dig deep into the details of whether an additional feature is simply something that WT found exists in the jet’s code today by Asobo and WT enabled it or it’s a custom implementation by the Nav System, much like their flight planning capability which is why the CJ4 can perform procedures that no other Asobo or modded aircraft today can do.

I’ve recently lost altitude callouts and Minimum callouts when flying the Longitude. The only Add-Ons I have are Dak’s Flight Mods and WT 7.3. I don’t remember if this happened before 7.3 or not. I’ve tried removing and re-installing to no avail. Anyone else having this issue?
I haven’t observed this behavior. I did have one other support inquiry about the same issue. I have to think it’s a conflict between mods or something else installed in your game that is overriding those voice callouts.
Have you tried without the WT mod? And / or with an older version?

I have not yet but will give that a try next time and see if that solves it. Thank you for the reply! I’ll report back
What air speed and v/s should I be using on descent? The nose easily dips way below the horizon even at less than 2000 fpm. Or is this really normal behavior for the longitude?
Personnaly im descending at 3000’/min at .82 until 320 kias
It works well so far

If you guys are looking to some real Latitude i was searching for them:
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/
you could filter on the right side by typecode: C68A and then you see all the Latitude´s all over the world.
I don´t know how to filter Longitude C700? Couldn´t find them, only here: Cessna Citation Longitude (zweimotoriger Jet) (C700) ✈ Flugzeugtyp - FlightAware. Here is one I am checking right now from Netjets Aviation: 1I809 (EJA809) NetJets Aviation Flugtracking und Flugverlaufsdaten - FlightAware
In Europe and on some of the US you could also see the indicated airpeed, mach and climbing
Right now one i am checking
Some EDIT: i find them https://globe.adsbexchange.com/
EJA806, EJA808, EJA 809 (its says it is a Cessna Encore +) but at Flightaware it is a C700 Longitude.
I usually descend 1500 - 2500 VS, Mach 0.80 untill 290.
If you use the WT g3000 mod and enter the altitude constraints on your arrival, you can enable to advisory VNAV which will give you the required V/S, as well as the TOD when you should start descending.
Otherwise, I use the general rules to start descending x miles from the field, where x = 3 *(difference between current altitude and field altitude). For example, flying east at FL410. If the field is at 1,000ft, I would start descending ~120nms from the field ((41-1)*3). I would descend at a v/s of 5 * ground speed. For example, if I was travelling at 500kts, I would descend at 2500ft/min. These are both rough rules of thumb to get you at a 3 degree descent glideslope. Admittedly, I don’t know where 3 degree comes from, but it seems to be the accepted correct descent rate for non-military aircraft.

Thanks for the tip.
But my problem is for example if I descend at 2,500 fpm at 500 ground speed, the nose is way below the horizon. Looks like it’s diving down. Most planes only dip slightly below the horizon or not at all. Is this normal for the longitude?
you should be about 4 degree below the horizon when descending at 3000’/min
