September 23, 200916 yr Hi,good choice to make souch a beautiful single shaft (Garret driven) turboprop instead of boring "big ships" ;-).Recognized some blurs at my first IVAO-flights:1: After 45min of my LNAV- flight, my DIRECT page 2/3 was gone (empty), so i wasn I like accusim
September 23, 200916 yr There is no "Startlocks Removed" announcement of the co-pilot when I after engine start move the thrust levers into the hatched area (as described in the tutorial).Michael Michael Thesen MSFS, HP Reverb G2, Gigabyte B760 32Gb, Samsung 970 EVO, Geforce RTX 4070-TI, Win11, i7-14700KF, Thrustmaster T16000M, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
September 23, 200916 yr here are some errors I noticed when fly this otherwise *excellent* airplane.- The FS Flightplan is always trashed. Only the current leg exists. Use a Flightplan in FSX and look at the FSX map or FSX Garmin to find out. - The altitude alert keeps bugging even when AP is in approach mode (green LOC and GS indications on EADI)- Autopilot approach mode goes into 2500 ft/min dive after GS capture.- "don't sink don't sink" callouts during landing after touch and go.- FSX menu shows around 500 lbs higher payload than the load sheet.- Loading a flight is erratic. After loading a flight, engines catch fire. Loading the same flight the second time and everything is ok.Alex Alex' Projects: Little Navmap
September 23, 200916 yr There is no "Startlocks Removed" announcement of the co-pilot when I after engine start move the thrust levers into the hatched area (as described in the tutorial).MichaelHi Michael,you only can remove your start locks if they were really locked before, means when you shut down your engines correctly before (reverse thrust below 50 % RPM). You see it when your propellers are in "fine pitch position"If you startup with fethered propellers using unfeather pumps before, you will don I like accusim
September 23, 200916 yr FMS off after engine start.The flow is as follows:Before starting engines, I switch off avionics. After that, FMS remains on.After starting both engines, I switch on both generators and the avionics.Now, PFD and HSI light up again.Then I cut ground power.PFD and HSI remain on (as they should), but now the FMS goes off! How come?MichaelFWIW I have the same problem Michael. I have resorted to programing the FMC after engine start. Hope they get it fixed in the update. "A good landing is one you can walk away from.

September 23, 200916 yr Would it be possible to have some button on the load sheet to load the plane with a random load (like in the MD-11?).I like the "suprise" factor of this - not being able to control the load of the plane :) like when receiving the dispatch data :)Thanks anyway!Cristi
September 24, 200916 yr Hello thank you for this beautiful aircraft. I only have one problem the FMC does not turn on.Hi,this is my problem: I erase the old FSX. cfgI start FSX and I create a new FSX. cfg After loading PMDG J41, I start the engines, and I compile the flight plan (FMC works fine) But when use another airplane (for example PMDG 747) my FSX. cfg changes, of course, and if i still use J41 the FMC does not work. The J41 FMC works only with a clean FSX.cfg!!!!!!!!!Really frustratingLuigi
September 24, 200916 yr Is there anyway we could get additional documentation. T/O, Landing, Cruise, Time to DSC etc......I would like to have this documnetation.
September 25, 200916 yr What about a cold and dark switch ??It's highly annoying having to cycle between the tutorial -> depp airport just to get a proper cold and dark configuration...please consider this for the SP.thanks,Greg olivedr
September 25, 200916 yr Kevin,Can you tell us how to reproduce that?I switched off all electrical power in flight to look at something else and noticed the altimeter drums were still moving as altitude changed, even though the power off flag was in view and the pointer was stopped. As I recall the generators were off and both batteries isolated. I may have had the load shedding switches on as well.Kevin
September 25, 200916 yr My j41 has yet to capture the glideslope. it turns green on the pfd but just maintains alt. localizer works fine however!

September 26, 200916 yr Not sure if this has already been mentioned but once the left engine has been started and is running, I use the unfeather switch to get the right engine ready for start up and from the FO's seat I look over the shoulder to visually check the engine, it appears to be moving even though the engine is turned off. From spot view the right engine is off but from the FO's seat the engine appears to be turning.
September 26, 200916 yr Hi,if i try to perform an enginestart only via batterie (no GPU) and switch on the STBY fuelpumps there is no pressure on the Fuel PressureGauges is that right or a possible bug?regardsJ
September 26, 200916 yr Hi guys,forgive me if I am doing something wrong but I am a noob, The interior lighting while flying at night does not show.Thanks for a brilliant planeRyan King
