All of it needs to go into the Community folder. It's too easy to forget and then your sim get's screwed up depending on what Asobo updated.

Exactly. I would like to try this mod out but i can’t risk screwing up a perfectly good install. My internet speed is bad and it would take many hours (and upset family members) to install MSFS again. 
 

I really appreciate the effort but i can’t risk forgetting to restore one file. 

I'd love to have this mod as the Longitude is one of my favorite planes.  But no way am I taking the chance of messing up my setup with one file.  I'll wait until it's all in the community folder.

Well, then I wish all of you guys good luck with your Cessna Citation "Shortitude" and "puddle jumper".

I did an approx. 1500 nautical miles flight yesterday, and everything worked just fine. Plane was rock stable through all phases of flight. Sure, heading turns were a little sluggish. 

The mod still needs some work, but now I can actually enjoy this "premium plane".

Anyone know if this fixes the AP altitude only working in hold mode? I can't get it to go to a selected altitude? Or am I missing something obvious?

As far as install location, complexity, If it was just ONE mod and it only needed one core file swapped out that's not too bad, But beyond one, it just gets to be a nightmare to remember them all and maintain them all. So, I may check this mod out, but good chance not. I just don't want the headache. Not just MSFS. I've had this opinion going WAY back.

 

I have no problem selecting an altitude, then climbing to that altitude using flc or vs. Plane holds the altitude just fine, or are you talking about something else?

Btw, fuel performance matched this guy's report. However, I was cruising at 35,000 feet, so I burnt more fuel.

Not sure what all the Mod does because I never spent much time in the Longitude before But I have had no problems with autopilot except FLC.

I found that the only way to engage FLC was the already be in VS Mode climbing to higher altitude spd does not work but will climb and maintain current spd when you engage FLC seems to work better above FL200

Another thing it seems like between 85 and 87 NG  there is a afterburner. In FLC climb rate goes from 2000fpm up to 4000 or greater with that small increase in NG so VV is very sensitive

Other than that very fun plane to work with. It follows flight plane very stable at altitiude.

One other thing remove beta Navigraph nav data from community folder. It locks up the Flight Planning in the MFD both on the Cj and Longitude

regards

This guy is doing a " 7 cotinents tour" in the Longitude.

Can report the mod works well post patch/hotfix and shockingly MSFS did not explode 🙂

I bit the bullet and tried this MOD as the latest version came out today.  After resetting my gauges/map displays I must say I'm impressed to say the least.  Only one file in the Longitude folder as mentioned above needs to be updated.  The modder has went through great lengths from the original version to put 99% of this in the community folder. 

The author of the mod has released a new version: 1.40.

This is the one I just tried.  The only issue I see is the speed tape needs a slight bit more adjustment.  The Longitude cruises comfortably at Mach .84.   That should be right before the overspeed tape.  Other than that the Longitude is in decent standing now much like the CJ4.

Wow... good to see such dynamic improvements on the Longitude.  I just upgraded MSFS PD for the Longitude (and Baron and airports) because I felt I was missing out on these great planes.  I really enjoy the TBM 930 (better with mods) and my first flight after the download PD was in the Longitude. What a magnificent plane.

One thing that bugged me in the first flight was both touch pads were identical.  They are separate in the TBM, meaning I can display two different features on each display.  I use one for Coms and the other for flight plan or to select procedures.

Second thing in the first flight of the longitude was I could not figure out how to change the map range. I guess I will figure that out in my second flight.

Third thing: Denver was a disappointment. Large elevation fluke while taxing to parking.

 

Watch your first step... it's a doozy!

Lol, that bugs me as well, CJ4 is the same with the FMS. Has been a pet hate for me for many years (Eaglesoft managed to split theirs in the CX v1.0 which was forever ago)... In the case of the C700 I'm not sure if they can choose what panel has what display, but I'd be surprised if they couldn't.
