F2 is a no no because flight sim can't allow only 1 reverser from the aircraft.cfg. Hope this info helped.

Yes F2 will give the sim aircraft more “stopping power” than a real Falcon actually has with just one reverser.

I don’t know how much aerodynamic effect is modeled for the speed brakes (in the landing phase) in the Flysimware model, but in the real aircraft, the pilot will reach down and manually pull the speed brake handle to the second notch after touchdown. (There is no auto-deploy of speedbrakes on the real aircraft). Deploying them after landing increases braking efficiency.

Flysimware has also provided custom assignments for speed brake deploy/retract, which I highly recommend if one has a spare button available.

I have extensive r/w maintenance experience with Dassault aircraft. Primarily the 900 series, but I did maintain an older DA50 (with analog instruments) for two years. I am extremely pleased and impressed with how well you guys have modeled this aircraft. I just downloaded it last night. I have Beta 2.4 at the moment, but will upgrade to 2.5 shortly.

The only glitch I have noted so far is that the green anti skid brake lights do not illuminate when brakes are applied with the switch set to #1 “on”, though brakes themselves do work fine. (I’m running P3D 4.3 in Win 10)

Hi Folks,

Oh - Thrust Reverse had me worried for a moment - whew - of course there's a solution...

We include a custom assignment for your joystick so you can set the #2 thrust reverser once you land since its too hard to reach and look at the throttles.

Regards,
Scott

You have to press the test button with # 1 set and brakes applied. If it failed to work its because the main panel had exported with a few thing not working as a glitch. Works fine now.

Jim -- we are fortunate to have someone with your background and expertise in the' Falcon 50 forum'.

I’ve been looking forward to this aircraft since it was first announced! Very pleased with how accurately the systems are emulated.

I pulled the trigger on this today and took it for a spin around the bay near the default airport. I love it. I picked up the Milviz weather radar too. Now if I could just get the F1 GTN or RX GNS working, that would be the icing on the cake. But as add-ons go, this is a winner. Nice job, FSW.

BETA 2.9 IS AVAILABLE FOR THE FALCON 50
BETA 2.9 UPDATES:

1. L/R OVERHEAT LIGHT FOR BRAKES GOT UPDATED. 
120 KNOTS AND 90% BRAKES WILL CAUSE TOO MUCH HEAT!
100 KNOTS AND 80% BRAKES WILL CAUSE TOO MUCH HEAT!
80 KNOTS AND 70% BRAKES WILL CAUSE TOO MUCH HEAT!

2. Updated anti-skid L/R light. 
#1 switch position & brakes on will illuminate green
#1 switch position & brakes on with test switch held on will blink every 2 seconds 
to simulate 85 knots of anti-skid test.

3. Fuel switch on engine panel now has click sound and tooltip.

4. AOA had missing v/vs on texture.

5. Popup panel now includes an autopilot mode panel.

6. Warning test switch includes all lights on center pedestal. TIP: Hold switch
while moving hat switch to see lights.

BETA 2.9 UPDATES:

Thank you for the latest update, can you have a look at the Vertical Speed Hold Selector , ( rotation  movement ) it differs from the vc

Yes, I noticed this too. I use my mouse wheel to rotate the VS selector. In the popup, if I rotate the mouse wheel back (for climbing V/S), the selector moves the opposite direction (for descending V/S) and vice-versa. 

Bought it and I am really impressed. Very solid and system complete. High definition 3D gauges witch are very satysfying to look at. The night lighting is also amazing. I think that's my favorite bizjet right now 🙂

Only thing missing in my opinion is more realistic texturing on the cockpit panels and walls and some weathering. This is more neceassary for good immersion during daylight flying. But reading at the previous posts, this should be expcected later ?

Some screenshots from my test flight:

Hi...

Nice shots - I like that livery - thanks for sharing...

Hah - it will have to be good to bump my beloved Lear from #1 - actually - the Lear is a better fit for my type of flying - so I don't see that happening - I do prefer the Lear's looks as well - but my number two slot is open - LOL...

😜

Looks like Mark figured out the shadows/lighting on this one too...

Regards,

Scott
