Does anyone know if there will be a new update for the Honda Jet soon? Since the last Honda update, the center of gravity position can no longer be adjusted, so a start is unfortunately impossible
I would like to know that as welll since there are a lot of things that I feel need updating. Unfortunately, there doesnt seem to be a central point for information or feedback (i.e. website or forum) for this product.
Definitely something I will take into account next time I am considering buyning a 3rd party plane.
The answer you seek is but a few posts above.
I got the HondaJet from the Marketplace and fly on a PC. I have never been able to get the Logitech Saitek flight panels to work correctly with the HJ. I do not use spad.next and the HJ is the only plane that I have experienced this problem. Is my problem isolated to me or is this a problem with the HJ?
That’s strange. I have the Logitech Yoke/Throttle Quadrant and the Multi Panel for Autopilot, and it works out-of-the-box for me on the H-Jet with no problems. The only aircraft it doesn’t work for is the CJ4 WT, which is expected.
The Multi-Panel is a bit odd, as it doesnt’ show up in FS in the Controls Settings dialog, but it loads a driver into Windows when FS2020 is launched. Sometimes that driver doesn’t launch automatically and the display for that panel is dark, but I can launch the driver .exe manually (with I think a “-r” command line argument) to usually get it to light up.
Thanks…it must be me. It is the Multi Panel for Autopilot that I have issues with on the HJ. It does not want to set altitudes and sometimes it just goes crazy randomly changing the altitude and the Vertical Climb. I will have to fiddle with it some more. I don’t fly the CJ4 but all other planes, I fly, seem to work fine.
What should the current version of the plane be ? Mine says it’s up to date on version 1.0.4 which the info panel says was released in January, that doesn’t sound quite right ?
I just bought the HJet and I have the shimmering vertical speed dial. The dial also does not work at all. Did you figure out a fix for this, Majorbash15?
Can I please get an invite to the HJet discord (if there is one) I’ve found 2 links so far, both come back as invalid
it does have one IRL
Any update from their discord channel?
They submitted the code this week but just missed a deadline, so next Thursday (Sept 1st) is when we’ll see the update.
Yeah this is one plane I wish wasn’t released on the marketplace and we could just manually update it by dragging to the community folder, taking the whole review process out of the equation.
It’s rough as heck waiting for this update.
In case you’re not on the Discord, they are A GO to have the updated V1.0.6 pushed to the MSFT marketplace tonight, probably around 5pm Redmond time. There are a significant number of updates…I’ll try to post the list here when I get to my other machine.
The Big List:

director, and flight director is always ON if AP is activated
-Added option for dual bars Flight director - the user selection will be save and persist for later flights
-Fixed VNAV info on MFD inset getting stuck and persistent from flight to flight
-VNAV is now disarmed when an approach mode becomes active.
-Redid logic for loading approach and STAR altitude restrictions, now should be consistent and less
prone to errors, VSD and GTC should match up when it comes to alt restrictions
-Fixed and redid code for STAR altitudes restriction to account for complex STARS that were causing
freezes of the VSD
-All automatically loaded altitude descriptions will now show on left GTC when loaded.
-GP (Glide path) is now custom calculated, should be smoother now and will be correct from the
beginning for the approach.
-GP & GS Logic updated, and is now using custom logic

-Redid autopilot handover modes, now shouldn’t allow to revert to LVL when navigation is lost, if
switching from GPS to LOC, nav mode will be maintained
-No more auto activation of NAV1 mode when following GPS, user has to manually change to NAV1 to
follow GS/Localizer

entry
-FIXED VREF and VAPP flags are shown 5 kts lower that they really are on the Airspeed tape.
-Overspeed warning will now sound at correct speeds
-Landing gear warning will no longer sound when idling and no flaps deployed
Systems:
-Synchronized the sim’s master caution and warning variables with the HJETs warning variables for
compatibility with external hardware
-AP disconnect button on pilot yoke is now functional and clickable

-fixed alignment of button labels in bottom PFD soft key labels
-FIXED VREF and VAPP flags are shown 5 kts lower that they really are on the Airspeed tape.

The HJet is now also available from outside the marketplace:
What happened to the update? Didn’t see it in the blog, or am I blind?
This is in the FlightFX #Hjet-general thread in Discord. Per the latest, the update was available starting about an hour ago. I’ll load it once I finish my dinner and walk the dog. #Priorities
Thanks! So it will be available on the Xbox Marketplace? I thought it was only updated once a week?
