No, that is an accurate emulation of how the auto throttle sounds when engaged in the real airplane. The electric throttle servos are physically rather large, and are located in the center console underneath the levers. They are driven by 400 Hz AC and the coils in the servos tend to give off sound at 400 Hz when engaged, and it will come and go. In flight, the sound would tend to be masked by wind and other cockpit noises - perhaps they should scale back the sound level when the aircraft is flying.

Aircraft with remotely-driven AC-powered analog attitude indicators and HSIs such as the Lear 35 also produce 400 Hz whine. It is especially noticeable if the aircraft is powered by a GPU on the ground before engine start.

wow thats  crazy. thanks for that tip , but its soooo annoying honestly I thought my system had an issue. Hopefully they offer a way to adjust some of these sounds.

You must register first and also you registration key if I remember correctly.

Anybody have issues with flight controls being very heavy and needing lots of input from controller? I have the VF Yoko + and although the yoke in the MD82 is responding very well to my inputs, the aircraft is not.

 

That is accurate to the real aircraft. In the MD80, the ailerons and elevator are not hydraulically powered, and the yoke does not move the control surfaces directly. The yoke controls small servo tabs (like trim tabs) on the aft edge of the ailerons and elevators. They deflect into the airstream, and it is the airstream itself which actually moves the control surfaces. Only the rudder is hydraulically powered, and even that has a servo tab mechanical backup.

The advantage is that the aircraft can still be flown even if all hydraulics are lost. The disadvantage is that control forces tend to be high. The yoke has to be moved farther in pitch and roll than in aircraft that use hydraulically boosted control surfaces, and there in a noticeable delay between control inputs in pitch and roll and the aircraft’s response.

You have to be approved by a moderator or whatever. Be smart. 

Ehm no? Not at all. Buy at Simmarket, download, activate in the load manager with the code from simmarket. Done. No registration or approval or anything.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Any way to disable passenger announcements?

After waiting nearly 30 minutes on the first launch I got a BSOD. So not sure what to do now.

A BSOD normally points to a problem in your computer hardware. Software cannot cause a BSOD directly, other than by putting your hardware under stress - as a graphically and computationally intense game like MSFS could certainly do.

I’ve never gotten one in msfs before. Lots of people reporting first time launch issues and crashing.

The CPU load was pretty crazy while waiting to load in for the first time.

I have another system to try it on but I’ve never seen any addon take this long. CPU load was 60-80%.

They did say the first launch would take like 20+ minutes while the wasm module was compiled etc

After a CTD on the first lauch of the MD-82 the airplane loaded correctly, but it took an extremely long time (I would say a longer time than Aerosoft CRJ).
