Thanks, did search but I could not find much about this particular plane, could find on the BN2 and that seem to have good support & updates both here and on FB. Mainly worried that what has been mentioned in this section isn’t addressed. I am a bit on the fence when buying a new add on since their is so much that are not good or get poor support/updates from some developers. Don’t know to much about these guys so trying to get an idea to make up my mind.

ā€œBlackbox are FAMOUS for their support and Update policyā€ Good to hear :blush:

Well If I may suggest you list the specific Items you feel require updating then I will see what can be done :wink:

The last time I flew this aircraft I found the elevator authority to be extreme. It felt like there was no drag at all. Is that something that might be improved? Curious if others experienced it.

Will the Bulldog’s DME ever get fixed on XBOX? It’s my favourite GA plane in MSFS! Will there be an update for it? How about a complete overhaul like you did for the Islander?

I too would love to see an updated version of the Bulldog! A few fixes, one or two fewer ā€œinopā€ controls/systems, and maybe adapt it to the newer features of the simulation engine (like prop-physics)?

It’s already a wonderful model, I fly it a lot in VR; the bubble canopy makes it perfect for world-exploration and vfr-flying. Is it just me getting too absorbed, or does it use up its fuel a bit too fast?

It’s been favorite of mine since it’s release and the update of the (also great) Islander sparked hope for an updated Bulldog too…

Where can I select the Tablet in the Bulldog, I can’t find it… :blush:

Hello! There is a small blue (Garmin-) ā€˜sticker’ on the instrument panel…

how do i get the canopy open, i just can’t find the point where the canopy opens… :joy: :blush:

You need to unlock it first (small knob on top of left fairing next to the pilot) …then use the overhead handle

Fun aircraft to fly and handles very nicely with the Xbox controller. Somewhat disappointed there’s no In-Sim checklist and the aircraft has a tendency to roll, if no passenger selected? I’ve also noticed quite a lot of grainy shadows inside the cockpit. Other than that, it’s great.

I really wish this wouldn’t populate within the MSFS traffic. I see the Bulldog parked at large airport gates and it ruins the immersion, when I’m flying something else. :expressionless:

Are you on PC or Xbox? For PC, that can usually be fixed pretty quickly with a tweak to the aircraft.cfg file.

IF you are a PC User –
open the aircraft.cfg and find the following line at the bottom of each Variant section

canBeUsedByAITraffic=1

change it to

canBeUsedByAITraffic=0

and no more AI Issue

Wonderful - I am a PC user. Thanks for your help.

For some reason, this remains my favorite GA plane. I think it’s the cockpit and visibility in VR combined with the sound and everything.

I’m going to take a stab at integrating the PMS GTN750 soon, that’s the only thing I’m really missing. I am a software developer but I haven’t touched anything MSFS yet, so I’m not sure how I’ll fare…

HI all! Is there anyone having problems with the fuel gauges? They seem to register less fuel than the fule/weight window. Thanks!

I’m not at my PC st the moment, but is it because the sim registers US Gallons, and the aircraft uses imperial gallons?

Shouldnt be. I am not on my Pc either but the needle in the gauges were in red while the fuel in the fuel/weight windows was at 50% on both tanks
