1- since SU5, you have to open the fuel valve, wich is placed right of the throttle/above flaps lever

SecureWindow557 I had the exact same problem as you. I just figured it out and it worked perfectly for me. Go to Options in FS 2020 go to Sound, then set Communication Selection to âDefaultâ. Then go to the speaker icon on your monitor tool bar and right click. Go to Speaker Setup, Advance Setup, click on communication Tab, select âDo Nothingâ. Hit Apply and Ok. It should work. Mine worked perfectly. Hope it works for you.

Aha! Didnât think of that. Thanks. I will try that.
On other matters: The FMS was more versatile in 1.84 before SU5, and I still am having issues with setting up cockpit views. They donât seem to maintain their settings. Donât know what I can do. Setting from the keyboard using alt + num key doesnât hold and setting them directly in the cockpit view menu also wonât hold. Any solution for that mess up?
None of the issues youâve identified are related to the 1.85 version of the modification project this forum addresses. Please see the release notes for this mod that there is no attempt to modify core avionics or in-cockpit functionality of the Longitude. It only addresses flight physics and a handful of situational awareness features in cockpit (voice altitude callouts, for example). It appears all of your issues are due to either changes to the underlying Asobo default avionics / cockpit interface for the Longitude (which mod 1.85 doesnât address), or the WT G3000 modification project. Please take up your issues either directly with Asobo or with Working Title.
That undesirable rolling behavior while establishing NAV course is effectively diagnostic of a failed installation of the mod, since the mod corrects this behavior, while Asobo has not addressed this issue in the default Longitude. Glad you got this working.
Thanks for the work done on this mod !

Very welcome!
Dakfly, fantastic mod! Been using it for months, thank you!
Using your newest SU5 compatible package in addition to the latest WT G3K (".7a"). Just wondering whether some strange behavior is related to WT or your mod (probably WT). Note that I am on live weather and multiplayer. When in initial climb in FLC @250kt the aircraft rockets at 6-7000 FPM and redlines. Also, AT does not hold air speed. I assume this is the WT mod with a few bugs yet to be fixed?
I canât comment whether those are issues with WT mod or the underlying Asobo coding of AT. I have also noticed that when using FLC, the AT control appears to be overridden and will push the plane out of speed compliance below 10k ft. Not sure why.
With respect to climb rate, that is normal under FLC mode and maximizes efficiency of climb, with the caveat that to avoid exceeding 250kts, one must disable AT and manually control throttle - irritating.
Live weather is currently broken and will affect your high altitude performance if you experience the temp spikes that occur. Would encourage you to use the presets instead.
Just finished a flight a while ago and on climb out, I set FLC and airspeed was set to 250kias and it held airspeed at 246 and climbed out at 6200fpm. No problems.
Thank you for clarifying. I am grateful for all the great work you have been doing on this model. I have the updated G3000 mod. The only other place I have used the G3000 is in the TBM and that is still out of commission. Apparently the inability to lock fixed view positions is something ASOBO caused and must fix. And what you say about my other issues makes sense since those anomalies have to do with the Garmin not the flight model. My apologies.
Thanks very much for your observations. My point on the FLC and climb rate is that a 6-7K FPM climb is really not realistic. For an exec jet pilot, for example, the VIP clientâs martini will be spilt all over the luxury carpet at that vertical speed. Ha ha! Max 1.5-2.5K with FLC for passenger comfort should be settable @ 250kt @ < FL 320, then 1500-2000 FPM to cruise 430-450. There is no Vclimb setting so not sure how this can be accomplished. Dakfly is very knowledgeable here so would appreciate his view.
250kt is indeed maintained with AT, but it results in 6-7K FPM vertical speed with FLC engaged, not realistic. See my reply to another poster. In any case, your mod is the bomb.
Agree longhorn, Dakflyâs mod is butter. Issue is with âliveâ anything. Donât torture yourself. Tried it. broken.
I have not seen a way in game to limit the FLC max climb rate - I can only limit the max pitch angle for Autopilot, but that is a global setting and would be limiting for other purposes if set to shallow. Best we can do is use the Vertical speed hold and adjust appropriately as we climb. The FLC climb rates for each 5000 foot block from sea level to FL450 that the Longitude mod achieves are modeled to be as close as I could get to the Cessna test / performance data I was given by a contributor to the project and is closely approximate to how the Longitude achieves climbs to cruise altitudes in as little as 15 minutes. This does not, of course, mean that in practice Longitude pilots climb at 6k fpm (or greater, as the mod can achieve at lower weights) and at the steep pitch angles required, but I would certainly like to hear from a Longitude (or other high performance bizjet) pilot about what they typically do in practice.
Thanks Dakfly, I can confidently attest that 3-4K FPM is max always with clients, and that is assuming clients are fun loving adventurists who do not need barf bags. I have a reliable source.

If those clients are in a hurry to get to FL450 and donât mind the quite steep pitch angle, you can go for full throttle max climbs. If the restriction is 3k to 4k fpm thatâs still a pretty quick ascent into the flight levels and keeps the engines running a little less than full out.
Yeah, 3-4K FPM is sporty with major complaints usually ear popping and Gâs stomach. I usually pull off FLC and go 2.5 VS setting, with AT set and closely monitoring against stall.
Also, in reality, ATC/center does not allow such sporty VS, messes up their air space. To be clear, these comments are in relation to AT settings. In reality, manual throttle is used to control VS with FLC.

I keep having CTDâs with live anyting so itâs all getting turned off til MSFT figures it out and fixes what they broke; but that list of broken things from SU5 just seems to get longer and longer while they get quieter and quieterâŠ
