PC-24 FMS speeds

I know this aircraft was fairly broken at launch but it does now seem to be flyable at least. However, does anybody know if the FMS speed system is actually modelled or whether it is just bugged? It won’t seem to deviate from 145kts at any stage of climb although it should, for example, climb at 200kts IAS once above 2500ft and 4nm from the departure airport. I’ve watched the Honeywell tutorial videos on YouTube and the aircraft does not seem to behave at all like it should in this regard. Is anyone having the same issue or know how to get it to function properly? Ta!

They are some reason using the PC-12 panel.xml speeds, Its probably a bug I raised it here, use manual speeds not FMS speeds until its fixed.

I see what @Yettybox said below, but apparently the PC-24 FMS Speed Mode has a slow climb-out speed anyways. Honeywell put out full on training videos on every aspect of the PC-24 on YouTube. On takeoff, the FMS speed bug will be set to V2, when it rolls past V2 the speed bug goes to V2 plus 10, then when flaps are retracted or vertical speed mode is changed, the speed bug then goes to 170, then when the plane passes 2500agl AND is more than 4miles away from the departure runway, the speed bug goes to 200 and that’s the climb out speed lol. Once it gets to FL350, the climb out speed changes to .60M. I guess the PC-24 is known for it’s luxury and space, but not for speed lol. Here’s the video that explains FMS Speeds on the Pilatus PC-24

Yes, things seemed better for the plane until it got to a final approach, LOL, then it was broken, crashed and burned :frowning: Progress I suppose but I can’t see flying it until it can behave as well as the Longitude.

Thanks a ton for the pointer to this video!
