I can barely read anything even when zoomed in. Thanks for the creative work and improvements. Ray All text/colors will be adjusted for the PFD/MFD
September 28, 20205 yr Already an update?! Awesome! Thank you! Edited September 28, 20205 yr by Dennis98BE
September 28, 20205 yr Author We would like to do weekly releases. In fact, we would like to get on track for a Friday release so people can spend the weekends testing things out as right now we are on a Sunday release schedule which isn't as cool! Edited September 28, 20205 yr by FNAL
September 28, 20205 yr Author In our internal branch: We now have DME readouts for VORs as well as it should match what you have tuned in the radio . Edited September 28, 20205 yr by FNAL
September 28, 20205 yr This is awesome!!! Finally I didn`t have to use VS for a climb. 1) FMS is getting better and better, but still not working to change approaches or re-sequence legs (keep adding on top of previous and it looks like a spaghetti bowl in the end). 2) I couldn`t find the mentioned landing performance preview and now since I can`t get an ATIS (since patch the range seems absurdly small). I am guesstimating temps/winds to get the v-speeds. 3) Only new glitch I noticed is the pilot side overhead lamp keeps going from dim to full bright after a few minutes. It seems unrelated with the patch-introduced electrical/avionics reset, that still occurs at different times. Thanks for this!

Thanks for this! 1) We are looking at FPLN and LEGS page problems this week (right now actually) 2) Do you mean you can't get the ATIS from the ATC menu? We have not touched anything in that regard.

September 28, 20205 yr Author In our internal branch: Another preview of the PFD with most of the text adjusted. Readability is significantly improved but certainly not a finished product. @raymar Edited September 28, 20205 yr by FNAL
September 28, 20205 yr Author In our internal branch: Preview of the formatting and colors of the LEGS page. Functionality to follow .

This model has almost unlimited potential of being a fantastic corporate jet. Does the team have someone interested in adjusting the flight dynamics? It might have nothing to do with the CJ4 and it could be as simple as the absence of sensitivity control of my flight stick, but, I find the CJ4 very unstable (wobbling left and right) both on takeoff (climbout) and on short final. It sure keeps me on my toes to keep a wingtip from touching the concrete on touchdown. Thanks for the improved fonts. Regards, Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
September 28, 20205 yr Author Yes, we will be adjusting the flight model. That unstable thing you are experiencing, I have not. I think that is an issue with MSFS itself because people have reported rapid banks on takeoff and such with the CJ4 and other aircraft. I don't know if it's a hardware issue or software issue but I haven't had an uncommanded bank or pitch with mine.

September 28, 20205 yr I just did my first complete flight in the CJ4 mod 0.3.0 from EGPH to EGLL runway 27R. I used FLCH for takeoff and VS for descent and intercepted the ILS and GS very nicely. I disconnected the AP at 200 ft and did a manual landing! I would like to say thanks so much for all your hard work modifying this very nice aircraft! John

I don't know if it's a hardware issue or software issue but I haven't had an uncommanded bank or pitch with mine. The Longitude exhibited this behavior also. It has to a MSFS bug as it happens randomly mid-flight. Just did first flight in V3 and you guys are getting close! The flight model feels much better and for the first time ever was able to do a full flight on LNAV with minimal input needed (albeit with random steep turns while on A/P about 5 times enroute). Much more solid and stable in cruise. Coming into Vegas it handled the usual bumps below 10k really well and actually felt almost realistic. Kudos!
