Not at this moment but for your information, Dev Team is reading this topic 😉

So very short wishlist from my side;

- ILS capable instrument (I know for sure some longer service life Magisters had them)
- Marbore VI version for that slight bump in performance at the cost of range and higher fuel burn

Otherwise, chapeau! Really enjoyable aircraft.

Wow thank you very much for this gold mine 👍

There are late 1950s vacuum tube era ADF, COM, and VOR flip window (non LED) rcvrs on the right hand panel to set the freq digits.

Radio compass (10) and HSI with OBS knob (19) show your bearings or radial deviations.

Thanks Dominique! Very useful. Google Translate works well and I was able to get it copied into MS Word.

and then into a "Frenglish" pdf, with some consistency in terms of height, speed and distance, with a few "adjustments" in places where "Google Translate" didn't work so well . . . .  Some parts may need a bit more tweaking, (or correction), so go ahead - feel free to do it!  👍

The pdf describes one pilot's experience of a test flight he did in the Magister back in 1955. It gives one a "sort-of" measure of what to look for in flying AzurPoly's pretty good little "Magister": or a 'feel' for how the aircraft 'should' behave under the same conditions: We've seen the videos - and many folks, now, I imagine - have this aircraft in their stables, and have a few hours flying it. My own earlier comments still stand, and I found the stall exactly as he describes it in the pdf, but the spin - well - I couldn't get a spin at all: spiral dive yes - not fast, nor increasing in speed, nor oscillating - but it wasn't a spin. Might well have been me, too. . .  🤥  On the other hand, the descent and approach, is spot on: it is one of the nicest, most easy to plan, most easy to adjust - visibity is tremendous, and can be as smooth and predictable as an LH Maddog flying an FMC STAR into your favorite airport. 

regards,

Thankfully my CTD's have gone and I am confident they were sim related and in no way attribtable to the Magister which is little gem - really enjoying her!
