@imb12 You are using a incompatible livery that renders FADEC inoperable (overrides panel.cfg). 

I only have the original file and no extra liveries but the problem remains!

This has been a consequence of having using a livery that has a .panel file.     theres a whole list of 'authorized' liveries on WTs discord.

Another great flight in the 0.9.1 version of the CJ4. Then on landing she turned into a wheelstander again.

Thank you so much for all your outstanding work!

Two questions:

1. In cruise, what altitude should be entered prior to descent? The next crossing restriction, or instead, if I dial the field elevation, will VNAV respect all the crossing restrictions in between?

2. I can't seem to find the range control for the MFD. How do I increase or decrease the displayed range?

 

Thanks again!

I usually put the alt required to capture the glide slope. The vnav should abide by the alt constraints in the star and approach

What about an RNAV approach? Should it be the glide path interception altitude and switch to APR mode, or keep it in VNAV and dial in the field elevation?

You would normally put the altitude preselector down to whatever altitude you're cleared to. The lowest you should set it would be the restriction for the FAF, as you would enter APPR by the FAF, for ILS and RNAV approaches. In APPR the plane will ignore the preselector, and you can then set it to the missed approach altitude.

The PFD and MFD ranges are linked and can be changed with the rightmost knob on the DCP (the control panel above the PFD). The tooltip that comes up confusingly mentions radar, but that's a bug with the tooltip detection.

CG is probably off?  I have this issue too after the CG shifts back after less fuel in the tanks.

Yes glide path intercept and switch to appr

The only way to get a better landing was to put the CG way forward over the limit. I did that by putting 2 americans on the pilot and co-pilot seat 😅

Thanks Matt!

Tried it first time today after I've seen it on flightdeck2sim channel. 

I'm impressed with this level of depth and quality. CJ4 just became one of my best aircraft to fly in MSFS.

Thank you to every person involved with this great project!

I couldn't have put it better myself!

I cannot get the VBAR to change to X-PTR in V.0.9.1 - is anyone else experiencing that or is it me doing something incorrectly?   Thanks.
