Combat Pretzel posted:Uh, so the mach bug on the 78X, does it break drag simulation? I've been going 320kn at 10500ft, then did a controlled dive to 1500ft because I wanted to see who was at a local airport, and then the plane coasted around 240-250kn at +/- 0FPM VS and it barely shed speed. I was controlling thrust manually, and engines were at idle. If you said that gravity was set to moon gravity and that all aircraft now had hello kitty interiors I would absolutely believe it because anything is possible with this horrible, horrible development team.

Pretty Mean Development, Guys e: oh wait, it was FSLabs that did that. PMDG also nuked your FS install though if you had pirated versions.

For all the flying I did in the northeast in single-engine, non FIKI aircraft, being a weather nerd, meticulous about forecasting probably saved my butt at least once. I would fly and train in some pretty think IMC but ice and storms were just a no-go. ATC is there to help you. Declare an emergency and get down safely, even if it's on a road or in a field.

This is getting off topic of flight simulation a bit but I think more and more people are getting killed because of over-automation and reliance on technology and the absolute visual puke that is being shoved onto displays these days. What is happening in this picture? They're about to hit the side of a mountain probably because they are fumbling around with the display to make it show more poo poo it doesn't need and not flying the drat airplane. I'm all for spacial and situational awareness but that is ridiculous. When you have that full scale of a deflection, you go missed. You'd never want to try to salvage an approach in IMC botched so badly.

Shipon posted:It's a real shame the Citation Longitude is hidden in encrypted files so modders can't easily get in there (the Garmin mods do somewhat improve things to be fair). Would love that 3500 NM range. We have all the manuals and specifications, and actual CJ4 pilots on the WT team, there's plenty of information on the hundreds of CJ4s built, aside from it not being encrypted. The other problem with the Longitude is that only 33 have been built so far and only a handful of people (probably less than 100) are actually qualified to fly it. The modding community has no access to any information which makes it infinitely more difficult to accurately model any of the functions. It'll probably be some time before it's able to be any good or anything beyond a a basic, entry level aircraft.

PT6A posted:Are there any weather add-ons I should know about? I have to say, although there are aspects of the weather system I really like, it would be nice to have more fine-grained control over things like visibility. REX has an experimental version of Weather Force but it is indeed a hack at best since Asobo has not, nor do they plan on, opening up the weather API. It works alright but since it uses simconnect, it can only control the weather globally, which is fine for terminal distances but, it doesn't depict clouds or fronts or any of the other "cool" stuff enroute like the default engine.

PT6A posted:I think this is pretty positive news, but watching it is going to reveal a lot about Asobo and what we can expect in the future. If this integration goes well and is productive, I think we can be very enthusiastic about future potential with other groups as well. If not, I don't think it represents a huge loss over what we have now, but definitely a huge loss over what might have been. I'm actually part of this team (not the core developers) but I'll give a quick rundown of what's actually happening. - Working Title is made up of about 15 members, all volunteers (until recently). Some are real-world pilots (like myself), some are software engineers, and others are just enthusiasts. - The 5 core members, the founders, the software engineers, developers, coders, whatever you want to refer to them as, basically formed an LLC. - Microsoft (not Asobo) has contracted them to develop content for the base sim based on the work they have done with the CJ4, Garmins and their own SDK. They will be working closely with Asobo and other partners but not for them. What Microsoft and Asobo are most interested in are much of the core systems of these mods such as the flight plan manager, VNAV, chart integration and so on. The goal is for Working Title to develop out these systems, along with a few others, and the SDK, to slowly bring into the base game of MSFS. Microsoft wants to provide base users with a better experience while also providing a more robust and complete platform for third-party developers to more easily integrate complex avionics systems into their products. Carenado is often used because while their visuals are fantastic, and flight models ok, their avionics are quite often poor, at least the more complex systems. They don't have a specialized person on their team versed in the technical aspects of core avionics development like Working Title has so, the end goal is to provide companies like them with easier access to a develop a more complete product. - The CJ4 and all the other mods will continue to be developed and open source for now. That said, down the road, some of the development may have to go into a closed group because now we're dealing with base simulation, beta versions and all that stuff that requires NDAs. This however, will not prevent anyone from doing exactly like they have, forking a branch from the github or starting their own CJ4 enhancement development. As far as I understand it, they will never become "premium products" or be encrypted. - The integration into the sim will probably be a slow process at first that will take some time while they get all set up and integrated into the development team. Not all of the features found in the current version of some of the mods will be able to be brought into the core simulation for a number of reasons. Anything that is brought into the base game will obviously at the mercy of Microsoft but they seemed pretty open to what they're doing so far. - The rest of the team, everyone but the 5 actual employees, will stay on and keep doing what we do, contributing in small ways and testing. They are really serious about keeping things the way they are but also have expressed a desire to subcontract anyone who is interested in future work on projects and paying them for their contributions, which is cool. In the end, this only serves to benefit the greater community and developers alike as their work has proven to be top notch. They're a really dedicated and highly talented group of individuals and they're very excited to be able to access the core of the simulation and get paid for doing what they really love. i am kiss u now fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Mar 11, 2021 |

PT6A posted:Re: the Working Title CJ4: should VNAV mode be, uh, doing something provided the departure I enter has no specific restrictions? I've programmed a cruising altitude, but it's just like "no, you'll stay at 5800' and love it! Our next crossing restriction is B13000A12000 three waypoints from now, I don't see any problems here." VNAV is a constant struggle as there are so many facets to it and it's not nearly as good with climbs as it is with descents. They should be doing a bit of an overhaul on it this week or next but it probably won't hit the public until next month though. That said, VNAV on the CJ4 isn't really used for climbs anyway unless you need to obey several restrictions. You can also VS or FLC and then use the altitude range "banana" to make sure it complies. We have a discord https://discord.gg/cmxCRJX8jG and a guide that are also helpful: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qzxPMTSQRkvau8QOi7xUqNvjx9rbww_qHlso5AT5OnI/edit

PT6A posted:Cool, I took a look at the docs but it didn't seem to address it directly in terms of "what is normally done" vs. "what is possible." It makes sense to just go without VNAV for the climb in the absence of any restrictions (and it works a treat in the descent, no question), I was mainly curious whether I was misunderstanding how it should work and/or how it should be used. And it seems, maybe, it's a bit of both. Either way, what a great mod overall. My only mistake was not trusting the VNAV in the descent the first time, due to the uncertainties I had during the climb. Once I tried just the descent using VNAV... perfection. And LPV sensitivity on the approach... you love to see it! Does the G1000 mod have that as well? Not yet. The G1000 and G3000 have pretty much been separate development teams but now with the partnership, I would expect more more collaboration as core features are ironed out and ported from one avionics system to another. The Working Title G1000 and G3000 are still very much must-haves though as they're light-years ahead of the stock equipment.

In terms of new features being added to the WT stuff, I can't really share anything other than what's been posted in the discord. What do you mean by first-party FMS? The stock FMS? I doubt we'll actually go through each one by hand especially since so much work has already been done by the community. The goal for WT and Microsoft is for core functionality integration - ie making the flight plan manager that runs the FMS not suck. I can't put a time-frame on that though but definitely not this update.

Maybe they changed it but I’ve only recently been invited to the betas (since WU 4) because I’m partner through Working Title. We had several other people on the team who only had the ms store version and they required them to use Steam to test betas. We just get private keys that we plug into Steam and it unlocks the test versions. I’m not one of the core developers of that team so I know nothing about source access or anything else. They just pm me a key and I use it. I don’t even have developer forum access, I just do everything through our discord.

The CJ4 actually has a Goodrich GH-3100. It runs almost completely independent from the Collins in the event of a failure of all of those systems and their backups. The barometer knobs on the CJ4 between the PFDs and the SAI are not linked. The only synchronization with the Working Title mod is when you press the “STD” button on the DCP they both switch to that mode because a “press” was not modeled on the black rotary knob of the SAI so I programmed a little “hack” to make it work (I was one the one who basically completely overhauled the SAI on that mod btw). On the real CJ4, you have 3 barometer knobs to all sync up. Don’t get me started on how bad the stock king air is. i am kiss u now fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Aug 28, 2021 |

When I had fractional ownership of an aircraft, I would help our A&P mechanic all the time, especially when larger pieced needed to be moved. I would do what he asked, he'd come take a look and then sign off on anything. With all the hullabaloo on the youtube, I wouldn't be surprised if someone called the FSDO on him.

azflyboy posted:Depends on how you define "default". That’s the whole reason workingtitle became a first party dev. They’re bringing all of the underlying, driving mechanisms from the NXi into the base sim as the default. If you check out our discord, you’ll see previews of the PL21 and even the 530 as well as the ongoing improvements of the g1000. All of that will eventually be stock with no mods required. So much is happening behind the scene. This will also make it easier for 3rd party devs to incorporate what would have been premium, payware level avionics into freeware aircraft or aircraft that are visually accurate, like with Carenado, but lack avionics specialists on their team. Good things are coming. MSFS is the future of sims.

INTJ Mastermind posted:Any airplane that has a G3000/5000 (ie King Air, TBM930, Citation Longitude) or G3X (X-Cub) has the broken default Asobo GPS systems. This is true even with the Working Title mods. They’re for IFR using VOR navigation, but don’t rely on it for GPS procedures. For situational awareness only. Yeah, unfortunately. The G3000/5000/CJ4/GNS refresh will be amazing, and the G1000nxi should be the default pretty soon. We've been testing betas for all of them for a few months now, and the amount of detail and accuracy they're putting into them in stunning. I know it's taking a long time but you'll know why once it's released. It's kind of like a kid in a candy store when they send multiple updates in a week because you have to choose which aircraft to fly. We currently have a Latitude pilot on staff and another pilot who frequently uses the G3000/5000 system so they've been super helpful getting everything just right within the limitations of the sim. Check out the WorkingTitle discord for the latest public screenshots. Basically, the "premium" Longitude will be modeled as it should have been from the beginning with in-depth systems, navigation, etc. The only thing I don't think they're modeling at this point will be circuit breakers and even PMDG doesn't go that far.

Sapozhnik posted:The OOTB avionics for the two Citation jets are pretty broken. Working Title are rewriting the code for both although who knows if it will be ready in time for SU11 or not. Not SU11, sorry but before the end of the year. It’ll be worth the wait. The work that’s been done has been amazing and the Longitude has become one of my new favorite aircraft. The CJ4 hasn’t changed as dramatically since the mod did such an amazing job of refining the systems, but there are some pretty significant improvements under the hood. Keep in mind that both of these aircraft are highly automated and there really isn’t as much systems management as compared to say, the 737. They’ve still put a lot of depth into the Longitude though and it will require quite a bit of studying. We’re trying to find ways to summarize the AFM without violating copyright laws like with the CJ4. Stay tuned! The coding team has basically been working overtime since they’re trying to overhaul all the GA avionics at once. Every other day we’re getting builds for the PL21, the G3000/5000 or the GNS.
