The most important thing right now is to go into the weight & balance screen and periodically top up the fuel. 😅

How do you top off the fuel in mid flight?

However, to say that it is a misnomer to suppose and airplane has a stall speed not quite correct either.

Look up what misnomer means. It doesn't mean something is flat out wrong, it means the use of a term or expression is inaccurate.

That's why I wrote it was a misnomer, rather than writing that it was incorrect in regards to the claim that an airliner would not stall at 160 knots; it would stall at 360 knots if the critical angle of attack was exceeded, or it would fly just fine if it wasn't. 🙂

I fly it quite a bit actually, I just manage the throttle. I understand AOA it has an AOA guage in the MIP.

In all fairness it's got good sounds and I've enjoyed flying it over the last ten days. Hard to get the CG in limits according to the fuel and cargo page without adding a lot of weight to the rear stations.

 

How are you setting up your flight plan to get vectors to the runway once you arrive in the area of your arrival airport?  ATC leaves me hanging.

"... I was shocked, when the Longitude started to warn me about the stall, when I was flying 160 kts! This is insane! Even an airliner wouldn't stall at 160 kts!..."

That is incorrect. Any aircraft can and will stall at a high rate of speed if the airflow over the wings is disrupted. Ken is correct, stalling has to do with the angle of attack and with the disruption of airflow over the wings. (PP/IFR/SEP)

Sorry I speak colony English not the Queen's English. 

So when I lookup misnomer

Quote

mis·no·mer

/misˈnōmər/

noun

 

1. a wrong or inaccurate name or designation.

   "morning sickness is a misnomer for many women, since the nausea can occur any time during the day"

   • a wrong or inaccurate use of a name or term.

     "to call this “neighborhood policing” would be a misnomer"

It can mean Wrong or Inaccurate.

Exactly, so it can mean inaccurate, That's English for you, it's bonkers. 🤣

I'm doing it this way, and it usually works. Definitely not SOP but, hey, it's a sim. 

1. Select an arrival runway and procedure, say, ILS RW 12

2. Look up the appropriate approach procedure and "load and activate" BEFORE you take off (this tip came from another avsimmer)

3. The aircraft will now follow - while on "FMS" the flight plan. 

4. Punch in the appropriate nav frequency. 

5. Turn FMS to VOR1 on the PFD

6. When on an intercept angle to the localizer hit the APPR button on the autopilot. 

7. LOC active, glideslope comes alive. As soon as the plane starts its descent I do the flaps and gear thingy.

ATC SHOULD clear you to the appropriate altitudes. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, though. 

TL/DR: activate the approach procedure BEFORE you depart.

It’s a frickin default AC. Who cares

Uh it’s all we have right now. We’ll care until there’s something else! Lol. 

Different question: How do the framerates of the Citation Longitude compare to those of the TBM 930?

Just open the fuel window using the toolbar.

All default jets are Absolutely garbage, actually, more like hazardous waste that should have never been let out of their containers, but they are default so it is what it is,...I do however very much enjoy the smaller cessnas.

How do you know it's overpowered? Have you logged pilot time in the real thing?

You don't always need personal pilot time in a sim aircraft, as you can refer to the detailed specs in the POH of the real aircraft and adjust the same power/climb settings illustrated in that document. No-one would expect precise matching of speeds and climb rates but it's reasonable to expect an approximation. I haven't tried the aircraft in question. I'm making a general point.

Have found more FS pilots knowing more  tech , geek stuff about the planes they are flying than some Real World pilots that get paid to fly them, sometimes.  lol

The OP has not actually returned to tell us whether he had the flaps down or not for that landing approach......

The "simulator" was released before it was finished mostly because of money probably. These things will happen, give it a year then try again.
