RELEASED! Just Flight Bae146 "the Little Jumbojet" April 29th

The in-game throttle motion does not correspond to the motion of my physical throttle (honeycomb). I have to push the physical throttle forward by as much as half an inch before the in-game throttle starts to respond. I tested the throttle response itself, it is correctly calibrated. But I remember I had the same problem with the CRJ, and there I had to calibrate my throttle inside the module using the EFB tablet.

Is that necessary for the BAE 146 also, and if so, where would I calibrate it?

A group of us has come across a bug. I didn’t read the entire thread, but it seems when there are multiple 146s in an area (like at an airport) the sound starts glitching and getting all choppy. Even if someone isn’t flying the 146 (but has it installed) they will experience this glitch. It only happens on multiplayer (obviously). It’s quite reminiscent of the sound bug the default F/A18 had when it was first released. It needs a swarm of about 5 or 6 people in the 146 to reproduce this bug.

a beautiful plane, very complete, I really recommend it, although I have some stutter in the cockpit view in general! It’s a bit strange since I have a 3080 TI and an i9 11900k and 128 gb ram, does anyone else have this? thank you

Just finished my 1st successful flight in the plane… my first one ended in disaster because I didn’t understand the SYNC button. But this time I ran into another problem; flying YVR-YXS the LNAV couldn’t keep a straight line. Or maybe I should say wouldn’t, as it would get established on the correct path, then turn hard left, fly off to the side, turn hard right, find the line again, get pointed in the correct direction… and repeat. Ended up flying the heading, and intercepting the ILS by hand, which worked a treat. And in my first flight it followed the LNAV just fine. Strange issue, but otherwise a great flight.

Flew patterns around Bristol for a few hours learning systems and getting key binds set up. Everything is working great s far and the VR experience is wonderful.
Looking forward to many hours in this aircraft.

Hi FederalCrib, a few of us were discussing the stuttering earlier. Just Flight has responded:

No smooth as butter with a 2080ti and medium to high settings.

Thank you so much for info!!!

Oh oops I meant autopilot sync mode… appologies., the thing where you can adjust your V/S

Ah yeah, forgot that obviously with the trigger on the gamepad that won’t work because it springs back.
As for having all 4 throttles on the one quadrant lever, that sounds like a good compromise, especially as the real plane lets you sync the four engines as well. You wouldn’t be able to start each engine individually though.


I’m getting a white screen on authentication… windows 11. Anyone else?

Anyone having an issue where going direct to a waypoint on the FMS, engage the LNAV the A/C just starts to turn left into a 30degree turn never going direct to the waypoint? even if you line it up on the track and engage LNAV it will still turn away

Did you hit EXE in FMS after selecting DIR to the new waypoint? You also need the HSI yellow switch on the front panel switched over to HSI/RNAV. and AP+LNAV mode engaged. It should work. I’ve had DIR to function working a few times now as I have had a few flight plan track issues relating to the start of the flightplan that required DIR to interventions to get the aircraft on track. It’s probably because of my unfamiliarity with the WT FMS - it’s close to the CRJ but not quite.
I’ve also seen a few FMS ā€˜hang’ like things where it continually says ā€˜working’ after doing a change, but I find I have to hit ā€˜EXE’ and it’s then fine after that situation too.

How cool, you can adjust the cockpit seat positions as well as slide the jump seat into position. The things you get up to on a long flight. :grinning:

Could be related to the issues introduced in SU9.
Many are experiencing stutters and Frame drops.

OK, did my first ILS approach. For those that need to find out-

  • Use flightplan(VNAV) or manual (HDG) mode to get yourself lined up on approach.
  • Have ILS frequency dialed in to the VHF/NAV panel
  • Switch HSI (yellow switch) to NAV
  • When in range hit V/L to lock on to the LOC {you should hear a call out from your copilot} and localiser should be captured.
  • To capture G/S select GSL. {again you get a callout}
  • Manage flaps as per callouts and speed (much like the CRJ, it needs good throttle management on final.)

If I’ve missed anything let me know! Not sure if say the ILS frequency can be pulled automatically from the FMS in NAV mode, but manually dialing in ILS freq works fine.

Hi all. A new update is available, primarily targeted at fixing the trim axis issue:

v1.2:

  • Trim axis controls (elevator, aileron, rudder) - fixed
  • EFB fixes, including Navigraph authentication issue
  • NO SMOKING switch label typo - fixed
  • HSI course indication changing when there’s no electrical power - fixed
  • New JF_146.ini option added:

[HARDWARE]

THR_LATCH=0

ā€˜0’ is the default value and is compatible with the Honeycomb hardware. Changing that manually to ā€˜1’ (make sure the aircraft isn’t loaded at the time) will provide compatibility with the TCA hardware

Your instrumentation is not broken, it’s just unpowered.
I flown the BAE yesterday and need more than half an hour to got through all switches and what to do to bring life to all that stuff.

Thanks for the update on the issue, Martyn. Hope you guys get it sorted soon! :slight_smile:

Was enjoying a nice Flight and i inadvertantly touched the trimwheel on my throttle… talk about emergencies, nosing down from 10.000 feet :sweat_smile:

The purchase, download, install and takeoff went perfect though… the model is just lovely to get my hands on! Thanks!

In the mean time, i just deleted the trim axis on my joystick and went with a 2-way switch on the buttonbox… works well.
