Hi

 

I am interested by the aircraft and therefore have some question:

1

I need a aircraft about 50% the size of PMDG 737NGX. B737 is big aircraft and take time to perferm a good landing. The JS4100 is half the size of b7737 but is the aircraft easy to fly and land?

 

2

Can I unlocked the instrument and drag it into a second monitor? (My cockpit is about 2.5m away from the fsx monitorn!)

 

3

Can I control the functions through FSUIPC accept through LINDA? (Link a function to leobodnar cards?)

 

4

Is that able to buy the aircraft and get a refund in somewhere?

Size has nothing to do with the ease or difficulty of landing.  It is relatively easy to fly, yes, but it is also a challenge.  If you do not read at least the tutorial, you will not be able to fly it.  I can guarantee that.

Only a couple of them.

It doesn't have its own settings like the NGX - it uses the FSX default keys, so yes.

No.

Roger that!  I've burned up my fair share of turbines on this bird.

I have found the J41 to be quite a complicated mix of default and other commands that require LUA for some functions. A wonderful plane to fly, but difficult to interface. Please enlighten me if I am incorrect.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I caused a few maintenance hardships while learning the ropes myself.

I didn't even know it had its own commands.  You may very well be correct.  I just haven't dug much further than some of the simpler commands, which can be managed by the default FSX commands.

It is a bit of both, yes, but there is a module for it. I've got a VRinsight MCP combo and it works pretty well with that.

Like as I need to read the tutorial for NGX

 

"Only a couple of them."

Which instrument can I (pop up)?

 

Do you think I can see the instrument 2.5m away? I have not any problem to see the instrument in the NGX 2.5m away

Yep.  I just wanted to point that out, because the J41 engines start very differently from other turboprops, and too many people come in here complaining they can't get the thing to start when they never bothered to look at the procedures of how to do it.

 

 

 

Which instrument can  I (pop up)?

 

I think only the FMS, to be honest (you can also undock an autopilot panel, but that's not really an instrument).  I'm not sure if you can undock the PFD and ND.  Not sure how far away you'd be able to see them.

Hi Hubinsc

"I have found the J41 to be quite a complicated mix of default and other commands that require LUA for some functions. A wonderful plane to fly, but difficult to interface."

Can you interfaacing all the function that fsx does not have through LUA?

Is that hard to lern program LUA?

Best Fredrik

All the functions?  No. But, many of the critical ones can be done. Search through Guenseli's posts in this forum and maybe in the Linda forum. He has done a lot of good work with the J41 and LUA commands.  

 

Ok, I think it is all critical ones as you  says?

 

The only question if I am able to se the instrument in a good way regarding the distance between my cockpit and the fsx monitors (I have TH2go)!

I'm not sure about some of the electrical and engine stuff (I use my virtual FO for some of that), but LINDA can certainly program the icing controls and some other J41 specific stuff.
