Thanks for the additional information also.

I am reading the 200 page manual.

My main question was.. how does it fly on a full flight and do all the systems work properly?

"The lighting is peculiar as well. When you turn the taxi or landing lights on your whole cockpit lights up. Don't know what the deal is here."

I wonder about that also.

 

Good FPS ?

Any problems .. e.g., freezing ., CTD .. other problems in FSX or P3Dv4?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes I flew a complete route EGPD to ENBR. At night EGPD with with 8xSS and dynamic lighting brought my fps close to single digits around 10-12 fps in cockpit. So I switched to 8xMS and I immediately got a 100% increase in fps. 22-26. But this is kind of standard fair in most well textured cockpits. Now the issues I ran into was the AP simply disconnecting on a couple of occasions for variable reasons. Needless to say if I hadn't been babysitting it the plane would have done a nose dive to oblivion. Not sure what the issue is here. I've been through all the manual and as the review on this site noted it would have been nice to have a sample flight showing how the pitch command wheel functions in combination with the speed button etc. 

 

Also, the NAV/LOC  disconnected a few times again for reasons I'm not sure.  As I stated will need more time flying to get a proper flight without these occasional hiccups.

I had read about the various issues and mods and being able to use the FSX version.  I did the mods and now that I know where the ' select optional panel' button is, all is well.    All the cockpit functions are there and the GTN 650/750 mod works also.  Thanks for the input.

Good idea to have the 650 there because I just have the 750 (didn't buy the 650 combo) and now there's a blank metal plate underneath the 750. I could change the size of the 750 but  I wonder if anyone knows of a good weather radar mod. That default one in the panel is fake of course.

Thanks for the flight information / review.

Much appreciated.

It's been my Lear of choice on IFR flights in V3 and V4. I've had no issues at all with it once I got used to it. I never had an AP disconnect in any flight. 

Good looking and easy on the fps on my system.

Do you see the same thing?

Just had another flight. No problem with the AP or NAV/LOC but the 750 couldn't get past the first page and was frozen. I used the autoHdg mode on Flightsim Commander with the flightplan in there and went pretty well.

Unfortunately, yes.

Has anyone got the panel config settings for adding the GTN 750 and 650? I have the 750 in panel and it is a bit long and there is enough room below it for the 650 if I shorten the 750 a bit.

Greg had it on page four of this thread

Is the F1 GTN 750 supposed to rely on and work with the FlightSim Commander's (GPS mode) autopilot steering / waypoint sequencing?

I have not downloaded the V2.1 yet.

Here the panel cfg from V2.0

// First optional panel ------------------------------------

Background_color=36,36,36

  I used Greg's setup and the 750 and 650 fit.

Not sure but since the 750 was frozen I just used the AutoHdg on FSM and the hdg and AP with the jet. I manually adjusted the other aspects of the flight, TOD etc.

Did the F1 GTN750 freeze up because FlightSim Commander was in use or a problem with the GLJ25 / F1 GTN750?

That's actually a good question. I'm going to have to look into that.
