Vision Jet bugs

  1. When selecting approach the frequency isn’t automatically set in the radio’s (like for the ILS). This did work as it should in the payware version.
  2. The overhead lights in the cockpit don’t have any effect.
  3. When you import a flight and add a STAR it leaves the departure airport in the plan BELOW the STAR resulting in a weird route.
  4. The plane seems a lot less powerful during climb than the payware version.
  5. Up to take off I constantly see the caution TAKE OFF EMER BAT. What’s that about?
  6. The Flaps speed page is totally missing. It was there in the payware version.
  7. The emergency test is totally missing. It was there in the payware version.
  8. IPS Stall reset is INOP. It worked in the payware version.

PS I had to add the tag Any aircraft because the site didn’t ‘see’ SF50…?

I could not access the electronic checklist either…

Ah, yes, forgot about that one. I think they removed that option because of the checklist in the EFB.

Oh…I did not even open the EFB. I was also having trouble loading the jet. I guess we do it from the EFB now?

Um, no. Was able to use the checklist just as in the 2020 payware version (on Xbox Series X here) using a mouse.

Just made my first short flight with it.
Just a couple of circuits around my home base.
Funny plane to fly around with.
The parachute works great also. ( had to disable crashdamage to prevent being thrown back in the air after touching mother earth)
I saw that TAKE OFF EMER BAT message too, and a message regarding fuel.
IRL I would have called a certified mechanic ( or , at least a CFI) but for now, I’m fine.
Happy :small_airplane:

Yes, correct, that’s the payware version. But they left it out of the 2024 version and I wondered if that’s because it’s in the EFB now. Obviously they didn’t change anything yet in the payware version.

Yep, via the EFB. Press the Airplane icon and then Mass & Balance (or something like that). You can set and load various things from there. It replaces the toolbar payload option you had in 2020.

Add to the list. Unable to change display brightness due to missing brightness setting on the GTC

I was wondering if the version that is included in FS2024 is made by the same people that made the payware one in FS2020 (which I really love flying).

Do you think it is best to keep flying the 2020 one (which I have available since a couple of days in FS2024), or switch ?

Thank you for posting, OP. I also noticed the backup battery amps displaying garbage numbers at random on the Garmin glass display, to then flash the “Take Off Emer Bat” caution. Noticed it does it when the Vision Jet is transitioning to incline and when I rapidly increase throttle.

I tried doing diagnostics in plane and most of the functions related to electronics do not exist.

First time I have ever flown it was this weekend. The check list was there and functional on Xbox X. The emergency battery flashes because it fluctuates due to loads for some reason. I had the Cabin Pressure not set warning, but couldn’t figure out where or how to set it, can someone please point me in the right direction?

Gee, in many hours flying it in 2020 I never recall ever setting cabin pressure. I may be mistaken or remiss, but isn’t it an automation item? Anyway, maybe fuss with some of the environmental controls and make sure Fresh Air (bleed air) & Oxygen are on? Good one!

That would be truly nonsensical. The real SF50 has the built in checklist on the Garmin, just like they simulated with the 2020 payware.

And it works in 2024 exactly as in 2020 for me, no changes there. That said, I am using a mouse connected to my Xbox Series X to access and scroll through the checklist. Perhaps the problem is input device and/or platform dependent?

But if you have the 2020 paid addon then you will see that one in 2024 as well. Are you flying the one labelled Microsoft or the one by Flightfx? They show separately in the game.

In 2024 I fly the Microsoft version, of course.

I agree with the others. I do have the ffx vision jet and the checklist is working there, but on the MS version the checklist is not coming up on the PFD at all.

For the sake of clarity, I just started a flight in 2024 on a runway in the Microsoft 2024 VisionJet. The model spawned with the checklist displayed on the Garmin PFD. I am able to scroll through and check of items using a USB mouse plugged into the Series X. My copy of the sim is a Marketplace purchase and I am not driving a Steam version. My purpose here is not to challenge other pilots, rather just share what is working for me today. I realize others have different controllers, set-ups, versions, etc. Hopefully folks find some solutions. Ok off to Madrid! Peace out.

It’s weird, mine is also MSStore on PC with marketplace both MS and FFX and nothing I tried could get the checklist showing on the MS version. I’ve no idea what the difference could be. I did start at parking not the runway.
