Do you have any hardware bindings that could be interfering?
Well I do have some hardware, but removed the AP bindings. Even after turning off the āAPā circuit breaker it still engages itself and messes with my hand flying.
Mhmmā¦ somehow āAP Level Modeā was āonā although āAPā was set to off. This seems to have overridden the āAP offā setting. After switching āAP Level Modeā to āoffā the AP stays off now. Very strange

Hi - AP level mode will engage automatically if the aircraft is being flown near limits and the Electronic Stability Protection system is active. You can turn ESP off using the Realism page on the EFB.
If you like handflying/practicing stalls / canyon flying itās best to turn ESP off.

Because Iām a fool!!! 
Sorry, my mistake - sometimes you canāt see the forest for the trees 
- I always used Throttle or Throttle 1, but not āThrottle 1 (0-100%)ā. Works perfectly!
Maybe Iām being a bit daft but the pressurisation is somewhat different to other aircraft Iām used to. The Vision Jet for example has a set target pressurisation altitude of just over 8000 ft. As you climb from say sea level the pressurisation system gradually drops the cabin pressure at about 500 ft/min, lagging well behind the actual climb rate of the aircraft (which may be around 1500 ft/min), thus ensuring the comfort of the passengers. Thus itāll slowly depressurise at a rate of 500 ft/min in the climb (stopping at around the 8000 ft mark and holding that pressure) and then the reverse pretty much happens on descent. Iāve found that in this aircraft things are different. If I open the bleed valve and select ānormā at say around 1000 ft, this aircraft will hold that pressure until I climb high enough to cause the maximum allowable pressure differential, and then the aircraft will begin to depressurise at my current rate of climb (which could be in excess of 1000 ft/min). Is this right? It must be awfully uncomfortable for the passengers.

Very glad you got it to work.
Take care my friend.
This is as it is in irl for this particular airplane give or take a few feet in climb. Donāt forget that even just to keep up with the aircraft rate of climb the pressurisation system is working hard, especially at the altitudes where the pressurisation differential has reached its maximum and the (derated) engine is already somewhat starved of power.
800fpm might sound like a fast climb for a pressurised environmental system, but considering the size and power of the airplane, itās only double the average rates of cabin climb achieved by some airliners. Basically I think the logic behind implies providing as much pressurisation as possible during the parts of the regime where the engine has more power available, hence keeping pressure stable while climbing untill dif pressure is achieved, and then matching the climb rate for the other part thus reducing load requirements. The aircraft loses pressure at a rate of 3000 to 4000fpm in level flight so even maintaining 800fpm of cabin climb at certain altitudes while the aircraft is still climbing puts quite a bit of strain on the engine, reducing that to 400 or 300 would probably be too much load under certain regimes.

Bottom line is that the pressurisation regime is different from what you might be used to. What is modelled is true to life and was confirmed against IRL data from the test pilots.
It even takes into account the changing external atmosphere - some days you will make it to FL300, others you might not without triggering the 10k caution.
I saw the math behind this. Mind was blown!

Nice, then I love it. More work for me and less getting bored.

Grand. There is a lot of depth to the aircraft, but also a lot of automation - which is vital for single pilot high altitude IFR. Particularly as many pilots of this type IRL are new to turbines and high altitude. Which makes it easier to operate safelyā¦but on the other hand all the realism settings and system depth means that things can and do go wrong. Excitement assured!

I was sat on the apron at Shoreham and I thought āI used some fuel last night, letās get the fuel truck over to top off the tanks a littleā
Along it came and connected to one wing. I was in a state of rapture. First time ivāe seen this in any simulator. Also the fuel imbalance alarm went off in the CAS window. Talk about attention to detail !
Truck connected to the other wing and I watched as the fuel level increased in real time. So impressed. Fuel imbalance went away.
Before the process had finished, i clicked the button on the EFB to skip and end the process. Took a look outside and the fuel line was still connected to the wing. I thought i must have messed up the process by forcing it to end so i tried to add more fuel (had 50 gals in each) this wouldnāt work. Decided to just taxi away anyway and looked back at fuel truck and itās trailing line was laying on the ground. Job done I thought.
Took an external view and the fuel filler and a length of line was still attached to the aircraft ! Took off and landed on 26L at Gatwick and taxiid to parking. Fuel filler and line still attached.
What if anything went wrong?
Itās because you annoyed the driver, sending him away before he was done. You have to be patient with these FBO workers - donāt upset them
OK, joke! - It its a known issue and has already been fixed internally and will be sorted when the next release comes out. For now, as a workaround, once you get as far as having a hose attached, just let it complete.

Thought so. My bad 
Haha, love youre combination of nerdish accuracy and brilliant humor. More of that stuff please!! This alone is a reason to support you.

Im cruising right now at FL300 and a fuel temp notification came on as it reached -34c (as per the manual).
Its now -40c and the manual says ice may form as you approach -41c.
Do I need to descend?
Help!!
1x coffee, 1x croissant and 3x macaroons are depending on me for the next 40 minutes!!
