Zlin Aviation - Shock Ultra - no speed indicator

hi guys,

no speed indicator on this plane , we had similar bug in fs2020 but the speed was incorrect (mph instead of kmh in FS2020) but on fs2024 the needle is not present on speedometer.

hope this bug will be solved

still bug despite update :frowning:
it s weird this kind of bug (basic instrument) pass the internal test :frowning:

The update fixes were critical bugs only. No planes have been updated, that will take weeks/months depending on the dev. Unless they all have an agreed SLA, which I don’t think, considering the wild difference in quality between the planes we got.

I understand but this plane had also bug on speedo with FS2020 release (mph instead of kmh on speedo) and it takes months to be solved.
And I believed we ll not have bug on planes which are the same than FS2020.

Yes, I see the same on my PC.

I was like heck yeah lets go low and slow over Monument Valley. Zlin Shock Ultra is my go to. Uh…why did the speed indicator needle not load, I’ll try again. Nope, no needle. sigh. My two favorite planes the Zlin Shock and the C172 classic are borked. bummer.

indeed and I hope it will be solved in next patch

still bug despite update 1.10.0 :frowning:

Gone for me as well. The compass indicator is also impossible to see, I think it’s bugged out

indeed and not fixed despite the latest upodate :frowning:

Jumping in on this one. I was also getting midair crashes…I guess stress related but I was at straight and level flight and varied my rpms all over but it still occurred. Haven’t tried again to try to narrow it down any further. Disappointing, I didn’t have access to this plane in 2020 and I was looking forward to it.

Oh, and it shows up as a savage cub variation, is that accurate?

still bug despite latest update :frowning:

Indeed. Very difficult to complete an aerial advertising mission in the Shock Ultra without speed indicator.

Mine works fine in freeflight. Must be a career mode thing.
I’ve noticed career and activities do strange things to avionics/instruments for planes that are fine in freeflight.

eg: The vision jet in the latest Courchevel challenge. If you restart the challenge (as you do) the avionics and controllers (my thrust slider on the T16000M specifically) go randomly crazy from restart to restart and then might be perfectly fine the next. Freeflight? No issues.

Hi @Sonicviz,
Can you post a screenshot of your Shock Ultra showing the speed indicator needle in free flight? I was not seeing it in this mode. Very odd indeed. - Thanks!

Could be a conflict with something, perhaps.

I also have the speed needle in Photographer mode, where I switched to the SU searching for Giraffes (that was a total no show waste of time, grrr).

The only MSFS 2020 aircraft I have been given in 2024 so far are the 2020 Premium Deluxe pack (obviously, as I have the SU!). I’m on 2024 standard edition this time round.
I have not received any of the FF, LL, or 3rd party MP planes I had in 2020. I only have a couple of things in my 2024 community folder, no aircraft mods.

Try deleting it from streamed packages, maybe it will reload?
Or perhaps it’s a variant/livery issue? I was using this.



@Sonicviz - Thanks for posting! I’ve not used the aircraft for a while - I’ll try again in the next day or two.

So this is interesting. I’m using the PD edition of the game. With this edition, the Shock Ultra is “bundled” with the Savage Cub - one has to choose the Savage Cub and then select one of four Shock variants: Aerial Advertising, Floats, Rescue & Wheels. There is no “default” variant as shown in your screenshot. e.g. for me:

All four are missing the needle:

Notice how the registration number is different in our screenshots, & my version has a couple of warning lights.

It appears that we have two different models. Mine is the “new” 2024 version, yours is the converted “2020” version.

That’s pretty whack. It is indeed a 2020 Premium Deluxe pack in the My Libraries section.

I was expecting the 2020 Premium Deluxe aircraft ported over to be the new native 2024 versions but seeing as they appear to be broken maybe not such a bad thing at the moment.

What is the policy on that? Do we not get the native 2024 versions, assuming they eventually get fixed?

It also shouldn’t be bundled with the Savage Cub, but there’s a bunch of aircraft like this it seems. The catalog is dysfunctional atm.

Terrible QA, if there is actually any QA.
It continues to amaze me that a game based on the concept of checklists for safety doesn’t even appear to have basic QA checklists for aircraft QA testing.
Instrument panel gauges working correctly is a fairly basic test.
