really dumb question; i installed as per instructions on page 2 (dropped the file in the community folder).

but i cant find the aircraft in the sim menu. does it show up as an additional aircraft? or does selecting the standard CJ4 automatically use this mods?

thanks in advance

It just modifies the default aircraft. So no second listing in sim.

Are you working on the mod right now? GDrive tells me that the file is in your garbage can.

Would your mod work if we remove the CJ4 livery folder from the "mega pack"?

It turns out that it should work alongside the livery package, since my mod doesn't edit any of the same files.

Great work.

Now we need someone giving the same treatment to the Bonanza G36. She is also underpowered.

So just trying this mod out.  Working great for the fuel flow...but overall performance seems quite reduced.  I can only get .64 mach with a cruise setting on the throttle at FL380, and even at full throttle I'm only hitting 95% N1.  Is this working as intended?

Fuel flow is still high (at least it is for me)- Shouldn't burn more than maximum around 1200lbs/hr combined at a high speed setting... should be able to get it on an economy setting of less than 800lbs/hr combined.

I love the CJ series of Citation- hopefully it gets some Microsoft attention for tweaking. CJ4 is a great airplane.

Thanks!

Don't use the cruise setting. It is just painted on art. There are no FADEC detents - or for that matter - any FADEC at all. It isn't simulated right now, though it's on my list. You'll need to climb at full throttle above 35,000' and you'll get between 500 fpm and 1000 fpm up to 45,000. Then you can pull back power to maintain your desired speed. Check out my notes in the first post of this thread.

Yes, as I mentioned in my notes, there are a few new parameters that influence fuel flow that are not described in the current SDK docs. I've been experimenting, but also hoping for revised/enhanced SDK docs along with the upcoming update. A lot of devs are waiting on this, The current setup is still pretty unrealistic, but at least you don't flame out in 30 mins.  You'll get the best range at about 25,000'.

By the way, thanks to the help of a friend, some avionics updates are coming. I'm currently testing a mod to the FMS that allows using the direct to function on approach procedures. Also on my list are the clock and a few other odds and ends...

Your efforts are appreciated on all of this! I was really looking forward to this airplane when they announced it. I wish they’d have spent more time... maybe soon they’ll go back through and fix the countless bugs on it and other aircraft.

Thanks!
