Bottom line is we are all a little different, we express ourselves a little different, we fly a little different, and have varying wishes and desires.  I personally wish to know what is coded and what is not coded for the sim version and the rw AFM and POH are just basically nice references, but, are not a total replacement for dev documentation for a sim addon.

To make my position crystal clear - May those that don't want any, have fond memories of not getting any.

Ray. If you have spent any time whatsoever in study in the cockpit, even one hour,  then what in the world are you missing?  Instead after 32 hours of this, considering the videos and docs that have been linked in this topic, including a key doc from Marwan,  your axe seems pretty dull. 

32:1.  

I have logged 6.5 joyous hours over two flights during that 32 hour time span.  Just sayin....

Please put the axe away and just fly...

I never flew this plane IRL.  I wish I knew how accurate the speed is. I find the speed is not very stable and always trying to get away from me.  

May those who don't need any, have fun plenty. 😀

With all this Manuals are things of the past and who needs paper to fly I hope none of these people ever try to get a Pilots licence.   I think I will need to retreat to the basement.

AVGAS is too expensive!  That's why we sim.

It's not auto throttle equipped so you'll have to set your throttle yourself.  It does have CSC which sort of maintains the speed once at cruise within 5 knots or so.  Or maybe it's 5 percent.

For climb use 210 kias at MCT setting.

So people with a pilot's license don't read manuals, is that what you are trying to say? Strangely airlines seem to think different on that topic...

exactly my point....one that does not seem to be shared from some here as a needed part of flying...others in this topic think manuals are a thing of the past...we know they are not.

Ah you were being sarcastic, I didn't get that 🙂

Open the window below for the POH section on the Hondajet's CSC (Cruise Speed Control) function.

 

Spoiler

Cruise Speed Control
Cruise Speed Control (CSC) is an AFCS and FADEC function that
modulates engine N1 output within a limited authority band to maintain
the aircraft's airspeed or Mach number at the time of engagement. Once
engaged, the CSC target cannot be changed without disengaging the
mode.

The function is engaged by pressing the CSC button on the AFCS Mode
Control Panel when Altitude Hold (ALT) is the active vertical Flight
Director mode, airspeed rate is stable (less than 0.85 kt/sec), speed is
between LSA + 10 kts and VMO/MMO, and SYNC is the active engine
control mode.

During normal operation of the CSC function, the following indications
are present:
• A green CSC annunciation in the general AFCS Flight Mode
Annunciation (FMA) display area on the Primary Flight Displays
(PFDs).
• A regular speed bug to the right of the airspeed tape on the PFDs
is replaced by a magenta bug at the target airspeed or airspeed
corresponding to the target Mach number.
• A regular speed bug value displayed at the top of the airspeed
tape on the PFDs is replaced by the target airspeed or Mach
number displayed in magenta.
• A white CSC annunciation in the Engine Indication System
(EIS) display.

To maintain the CSC target speed, the FADEC will modulate engine
thrust in either direction up to 5% N1 or 5 degrees of equivalent thrust
lever angle change, whichever is more constraining.

CAUTION Due to CSC's limited control authority, target speed may
not be maintained during all operational scenarios, such
as configuration changes (flaps, speed brake, or landing
gear) or when the flight director is not being followed.

Any of the following methods can be used to disengage the CSC
function:
• Press the CSC button on the AFCS Mode Control Panel.
• Move either thrust lever by more than 1 degree.
• Press the AFCS/Trim Master button on either control yoke.
• Select a vertical AFCS mode other than Altitude Hold (ALT).

When the CSC function is disengaged, the CSC annunciation on the
FMA flashes amber. All other PFD and EIS CSC indications are
removed upon disengagement. The flashing CSC annunciation is self clearing
after 5 seconds.

If an attempt to engage CSC is made while the function is not available,
a flashing amber CSC annunciation appears on the FMA. This indication
is also self-clearing after 5 seconds.

If the CSC function detects a failure situation such as invalid sensor data
or FADEC communication, a CRUISE SPD CTRL FAIL advisory
message is displayed.

So the question here would be: Which of these menus actually adjusts the real weight of the plane for flying in the sim? Do I ignore the sim-menu for weights and only use the cockpit menu? Do I have to make both menus match up?

Per the developer on Discord:

what ever you input in the right GTC will override the sim menu , although you might not see the sim UI updated due to limitaition .. you can always trust the weights in the right GTC

So yes, ignore the sim, believe the plane.

It's what I do. 😀

Actually IRL you need the POH in the airplane or it's not legal to fly. But, since this is just a sim, you should be ok in the eyes of the law. 😀

Correct - User manuals are so 80's.  Besides the one plane that doesn't need one is the HJET.

If there was a user manualit would quickly become outated say when the WT3000 is updated and prove to be a waste of time for the dev and anyone reading it.

Youtube is your friend.

False.
