CJ4 Community Mod by Working Title Released

[Paul_Yorks 97]

Wow.  Fantastic work, thanks so much.

This is fantastic, combining all my favorite mods so far! Maybe there is still hope for this game becoming a sim.

I know this is still using MSFS autopilot, but does it have the error introduced with the patch where AP immediately starts chasing the alt selector bug? Even when alt capped I was having this, and it makes it unflyable for me (cant select a next step down prior to reaching it).

You know, I don't recall seeing that behavior, but I'll give it a test today and see what happens. We haven't really touched an AP related code, so I would be surprised if we would offer either an improvement or a breakage.

Yes, unfortunately it does have the same bug.  Once in ALT mode, it shouldn't move from that altitude until you put it in another vertical mode (VS, PITCH, VNAV, FLC)

This is happening with or without any mods. I had the mods, my friend had stock and reported the same. Just climb (VS) until alt cap/level, wait a bit and then see if changing the altitude selector will make the airplane enter a climb/descent, chasing the selector. Particularly annoying during star, or approaches. Thanks for the hard work! I truly had given up on msfs, even cancelled my gamepass for October, but this mod may be what keeps me for a little longer.

I confirm this behavior. Workaround is to be prepared for this to happen and quickly get on VS and adjust accordingly after selecting new ALT.

Thanks. I am not really looking for Flight Safety manuals, just enough basic info to plan and fly in the flight sim. 

Well, on Flightsafety or Simcom manuals I can only tell you - keep looking.

On eBay you can sometimes get unbelievable deals with some luck and patience.I got unused Flightsafety manual for Twin Otter for $39 and Dash-8 POH for $45. Bizjets, B200 & B350 have best deals. CJ4 applies here.

This is a category to watch: https://www.ebay.com/b/Aviation-Repair-Manuals-Literature/50453/bn_583687, filtered for Citation: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=citation&_sacat=50453&_sop=15. Just drill down from cheapest 😉

I think you can click VS FIRST and that would lock VS in at 0, then adjust the selected altitude and command VS when you're ready. Definitely not reflective of reality but a workaround for now...

Awesome, glad to know Im not the only one with the issue. Yeah, I was doing that and it gets pretty annoying, the whole aircraft and FS bugs are already a pain to work through that I can`t concentrate on the flight itself. Yesterday I ended up 20 nm off route due to a cdi that wouldn`t center on the correct VOR radial (GEG). Thanks for improving what MS/Asobo isn`t!

For guys with sensitivity issues (haha) - try changing to -20 or -30% 

That helped me out a lot

MSFS on VATSIM means file /A or /W. Of course VATSIM's flight plan format is a decade out of date and anyone operating today should use the ICAO format for anything other than VFR flights. 

Didn’t VATSIM just update their online flight plan filing system?

[FlyingInACessna 656]

Thank you so so much for this! Can’t wait to try it out! Cool enough that we’re getting an accurate A320... now we’re getting an accurate CJ4 too?!!

Sensitivity settings were removed in last week's patch by ASOBO .  I'm gonna try to FSUIPC 7 calibrations and see if that helps.

Oh - well they seem to have stuck on in my install

[CJ1045 469]

Well it is probably my control of the aircraft but my CJ4 (with only this mod in the community folder) seems to want to fly to the stars with AP on. I set an altitude to fly to of 180 but it sails on past 180. I have a full flight plan loaded and on the screens but it does not seem too keen on that either. I have no problem getting the default A320 to follow the flight plan in autopilot.

Can someone give me a five bullet point or similar to go from wheels just lifted off to following the flight plan on autopilot at 18000ft please.

Thanks
