Robin DR400/100 Cadet Improvement

The DR400 is my favorite airplane, I flown it in RL, but there is some problems in the sim.

The flaps are not aligned with the wings when they are up. It’s visible inside or outside the plane.

The flaps are too high in take-off position.

The oil temp is not suppose to be in the red section in normal flight.

I hope it can be improuved :slight_smile:

I just recently tried this plane and also liked it alot.

But like with most default aircraft, please give it an overhaul prior to FS24.

This is fixed in SU14B, but not the other 2 issues you have also reported:

  • The flaps are too high in take-off position
  • The oil temp is not suppose to be in the red section in normal flight

I hope the devs are working on it and they’ll fix them in another SU14B update.

The flaps seems to be broken since SU7.
On the screen flaps are up.

Does anyone have this problem also?

Yes. Flaps don’t go all way up.

Thank you, I thought I was the only one having the problem.

Do you know if there is a solution to solve this problem ?

Not at the moment, we have to wait an update.

Hi,

I hope they will fix it with SU8..

@CAP1077 , are you still seeing this problem? This is what I’m seeing:


Hi,
Yes, it is better than before the update but there is still a problem..

It’s good that they fixed the flaps!

For the oil temperature, in the POH, it must be between 60 and 118 °C (140 and 245 °F)
So the in-flight temperature is good, it’s the color code of the gauge that is strange. there is no green section.
No matter, the temperature is realistic.

If someone could provide a screenshot of that gauge in the real DR400/100 it would be great. If different than what we have in the sim then if you could update your description for that point so that devs know exactly what needs to be corrected. Maybe the needle position and graduation are good, just the colours need to be corrected.
Also for the flaps take off position, does someone could provide a screenshot of how it is with the real one so that devs can compare with what we have in the sim.

ahh the good ole days flying in G-FCSP

:man_shrugging:

havent they looked into a real cockpit modelling the planes?

btw. its just the same nonesense like with the temp gauge in the c152 scaling of fahrenheit and celsius dont match at all its just a made up cosmetic decal at this moment (4 years now, also the same as with the c152…)

180F = 82C IRL

180F = 60C ingame

140F = 60C IRL

140F ≈ 20C ingame

etc.

Ok, here we are in MSFS 2024 and the plane is 100% exactly the same bugged plane as in MSFS 2020 even though we where promised updated planes everywhere. Once inside, you can’t get out. All the buttons that where INOP before remain so. Textures in the cockpit are sub-par. The glare shield lighting does not work. It still suffers from the Bravo trim bug introduced in Sim Update 5 (2020). Sigh…
