Hi-

I have 4.6 installed. Got some new odd behavior. The Falcon will creep and speed up at idle unless I brake it or set the parking brake. 

Also, has the aircraft lost power in this latest release? Just tried a short flight, KSAN>KSFO and the Falcon used the entire runway and struggled with 1000fpm with 7700lbs (BTW, fuel manager, (Shift+3) will no longer load a lite fuel load, stays at full regardless of selection) @77%N1.

Any comments here?

BTW, I also calibrated my HOTAS Warthog throttle so I don't think the controller is affecting this but ya never know :>)

Thanks,

Mark

Mark's made some changes on the power/throttle side in ver 4.7

Flysimware's Dassault Falcon 50    Falcon 50 Beta 4.7 Updates: 1. New taxi and landing lights. Fixes the bug when fog is loaded. Also has a complete new recipe that makes the 2 lights blend together without over brightness. Also near dusk or dawn its also not over bright. 2. New flight dynamics. 31% N1 idle. No more sticky taxi. This requires need no power to taxi. 85%-90% N1 to maintain 10,000 altitude to 20,000 altitude. And 93%-98% for high altitudes. This new update is more accurate to real world. And we my improve this over time. 3. Go Around is now 3800 FPM. This is where you should be for takeoff with our new flight dynamics. 4. ITT now shows roughly 470C to 875C range. Structual ice adds 100C to ITT gauge 1 and gauge 3. SPR with ITT below 100C will increase 50C to all 3 ITT gauges. 5. FIxed some of the monitors with backwards map in cabin. bob

The aircraft had too little thrust at idle, and too much at higher throttle lever positions. That has been adjusted, but it is still a work in progress.

When light, the real aircraft will start moving at idle when brakes are released. If heavy, it might need a brief acceleration beyond idle N1 to get moving, but not too much.

In climb, the real aircraft N1 would typically be in the high 80 to mid 90 percent N1 range. Prior to the recent change, I would have to throttle back to the low 70 percent range to keep speed and climb rate under control, which is not realistic. The Falcon 50 has plenty of power, but not that much. Though Dassault also makes military fighters, they didn’t put afterburners on the Falcon.😀

i.e. you will probably have advance the power levers farther than you have been used to doing up until now during takeoff and climb.

I’m just about to do my first test flight with 4.7 I’ll check the fuel loading for low-mid-high.

 

Thanks guys, this explains a lot. I was at ~70% N1 before so you got that right.

Let me know on the fuel load manager. I can do this through P3D for the time being.

Cheers,

Mark

I am doing preflight setup right now in Beta 4.7. No issues with loading any of the fuel presets.

We would not lower the N1 value as we want 31.4 % but i can make the power less at idle. I can try to adjust it a small amount so full weight may not move.

Just downloaded the most recent version and installed. Taxi power fixed and works great. Load manager still does not work; will not accept fuel changes or passenger loads. Not sure what's up with that. AC was installed as administrator BTW.

Hi Mark, did you install the Pay Load Manager Tools, in the Desk-Top folder.

Reinstalled OS two days ago. Never reinstalled manager. PBCAK.

Thanks,
