I have this wishlisted but was wondering, is the copilot/passenger visible in FS2024? The screenshots don’t show any example of it.

Since there is no field in the EFB where you can set the weight for the co-pilot, I haven’t been able to figure out how to display it. I assume this isn’t possible at the moment.
This little plane is really fun to fly, but the transition between the loops of the in cockpit sound are quite audible, especially at higher RPMs.

[RaraAvisSims]

In 2024 the pilots/co-pilots hand and feet are not poseable like in 2020, I will have a look at adding the co-pilot but It looked weird the last time.

[RaraAvisSims]

I’ll look into this sound loop issue.

Update ! I’ve edited the sound file and will update the package, version number will be the same, but the change log updated.

Could you list the additions in the MP version, above and beyond what the freeware one currently offers?

Flying this aircraft the ailerons want to center when I move my yoke to the left ot right.

I move the yoke left, the aileron deflects and immediately goes back to center. Then I need to move the yoke quite far to make the aileron move again.

Normally this is another binding for the ailerons, but I checked all my bindings and the MW6 is the only aircraft doing this.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi @RaraAvisSims lovely bird, but few bugs I would like to report:

• According to the manual:

  • Crew: 2
  • Empty weight: 419 lb (190 kg)
  • Gross weight: 8660 lb (390 kg)

• In the EFB (see screenshot attached):

  • Crew: 1 (vs 2)

  • Empty weight: 93 kg (vs 190 kg)

  • Gross weight: 204 kg (vs 390 kg)

Would it be possible to correct that ? Or is there something I am doing wrong ? Thanks !

@RaraAvisSims

Passenger coming soon

I saw that June 15 update date on the marketplace now and figured it had to be it, so went ahead and bought it and…

Woo! Got two people!

Picked this up the other day, it’s great fun to fly around and explore small grass s strips in it.

I found my avatars feet clip through the cockpit though, which doesn’t seem to be an issue in the screenshots above. Is it a new bug?

[Finnro]

I tested this briefly, but everything seems normal to me. When you have the co-pilot on board, you just see his feet up front on the seat when you look down. But as far as I know, there’s no way to change that.

[RaraAvisSims]

Asobo keep changing the avatars slightly as I’ve noticed this a few times over the years. I try and make the avatars fit as much as I can in these small aircraft and sometimes I ahve to make changes to the geometry, I’ll look into it though.

[Olifjc]

I think it might have been my avatars footwear that did it, I had a quick look this evening with a different outfit and the problem had disappeared!
