Well it would be nice if the tablet imported from other apps and not just Simbrief.

Yes, I mentioned this too in a post here a few days ago 
Well said!! Agree 100%

Night flier here.
Iām struggling to dim the PFD and MFD.
I tried the overhead switch and I tried the PFD > Menu > Manual and turning down the percentages for both the PFD and MFD.
Neither seemed to have an effect.
Anyone have any suggestions? My light sensitive eyes thank you in advance.
(Doesnāt this airplane fly nicely?! And isnāt Raul a gem of a person?!)

Just did my first flight in the FSR500. Great airplane, looks great. I had 2 issues though.
First flight was at night, in VR, and thereās what I can only describe as āfogā over all the windows. The effect is so bad I can barely see outside. Cabin temp was 76, and I had the defroster on. The fog was still there in the external view, even though the weather was set to clear. Exited VR, and no fog. Changed time to daylight, and no fog. It was only at night, like maybe some sort of glare effect? Why does it persist in external views? Looking at the instruments in the cockpit was clear.
I also get a CTD after about 20 min of flight. On all 3 flights I tried, itās crashing just around a half hour in.
Anyone else having these issues?
Yep, I agree the minimum brightness is still a bit much. Scorches the 'ol retinas a bit, but only depending on where youāre looking (stupid MSFS eye adapation thingā¦). The best you can do is press and hold the avionics dimmer switch down for 5-10 seconds. It does take a while to dim all the way.
I am not sure how the WT G1000 is handling the brightness function because the āautoā function on the PFD is locked out and adjusting the brightness on that same menu does not seem effective in the FSR500. In the SWS Kodiak, I always use manual brightness. However, if you dial it below 5% then often that display will shut down and you must take a few steps to recover. So perhaps this is a bug that Raul is avoiding by setting a brightness lower limit.

I have trouble landing the plane. Even turned down the rudder sensitivity significantly (Thrustmaster) but the plane is difficult to control on the runway, always turns sharply to the right even with rudder trim back to 0 before descent.
Donāt have that problem in the TBM850. Any advice much appreciated.

Is this happening in calm wind conditions, i.e. with no crosswind component?
This is also my only little issue with this plane, the controls are super sensitive compared to all my other planes and I had to drastically reduce the sensitivity for both ailerons and rudders to avoid huge oscillation around the yaw axis in particular.

The more I fly with this bird the more I love it.
Every time the driver has dropped off the passengers I wave him goodbye after he honksš.

Thanks for your kind words, use the dimmer controls on the overhead panel, the avionics one.
Also be aware there is a bug in MSFS that causes the units to go BLACK under certain circumstances due to very low dimming values, this occurs when the units are below %25 in certain occasions, so to avoid the problem I have configured them to have a limit to 25% when you dim them down.
However use the avionics dimmers on the overhead panel as these are linked to the units.

Weirdā¦ a user was having CTD issues and reverted to an old driver of Nvidia and all good. SU13 has lots of problems at the moment with DX12 and some stability issues that has been addresses on SU14.
I suggest to try with DX11, if check on this thread the driver the other person is now using which give him lots of stability.
Regarding the fog issue, I am clueless to be honest, we donāt implement āyetā any fog renderingā¦ you will need to record a video or something so we understand what you see.

For the guys experiencing sensitive controls. The aircraft uses CFD modern flight model, this is the first turboprop out there using this technology, in hence why you guys feel the difference, the user manual explains this in detail and how to configure your controls so you can enjoy the FM as tweaked, tested and signed off by the IRL pilots on the type.
The advantage of our method? high accuracy on approach drag, speeds, etc., high accuracy on flight and cruise drag, speeds, etc. 100% accuracy on trim behaviours, and many othersā¦ it is all explained on the user manual.
Best,
Raul

And as well as in the manual, controller calibration and configuration is explained here, if you prefer more visual guides:

I have to say that this aircraft isnāt really my type (yep, Iām one of those annoying steam gauge guys). However Iām inclined to buy it just because of the love Raul shows for it. You can tell heās passionate about perfecting his product as much as possible and the few things that are missing or is somewhat wrong are either being worked on or have good reasons.
The amount of support heās giving on this forum and the level of communication is amazing. I want to support the developers who donāt just disappear once they release their anticipated product like so many of them out there. In the end I believe this benefits both the customers and the developer and I wish more developers would realize this.

Its all well explained and CFD is the thing for sure. It would not be a issue when msfs would support sensitivity curves PER plane. If I tune my pedals (yaw) to youre recomandation or even more for comfort on the tarmac, its no more suitable for helo flying and I have to tune back to default each time I change plane. Maybe Im missing anything here and its possible to combine sensitivity with a custom profile?
You are indeed missing something! You can have as many different profiles as you like per controller each with their own sensitivity curves Use the preset manager to copy, rename delete profiles as required. They are all stored in your MSFS cloud profile.
The only annoying thing is that they donāt autoswitch between aircraft types. But @Sonicviz came up with a good solution for that:

Hey all, been loving the FSR500, a lot, but have encountered one annoying bug, donāt know if anyone else has experienced this. Under maintenance, when inflating or deflating tyres to get the right pressure, if I click too fast (faster than it goes up or down to essentially queue it), it will not stop inflating or deflating until I reload the flight.
Attached you can see the right tyre which carried on inflating even when I left the maintenance menu.
Any solution for this, or has anyone else encountered this issue?
Cheers!

Hi both, yes this has been reported and I have it trackedā¦ basically EFB talks to my WASM module and there is a ādelayā in processing commands, if you click too hard it goes boomā¦
After the Xbox release is completed this is one of the bugs next to fix / improve. I have been prioritising the most important issues, such as cabin pressurisation, which has been going into negative, fixed it Monday and it will be part of the Xbox release and a PC update on the next available window.
I will try to prevent this issue with the tyresā¦
best,
Raul
