Carenado PC12 bug report

[Bert Pieke 7,597]

13.  Intermittent loss of animation functions in panel.. Altitude Alerter stuck on Ft/min display, does not respond to mouse clicks.  Switches in overhead panel stuck in position, do not move when activated.

Lucky I, after 4 flights of about an hour and a half each, have not experienced any of the reported problems, except for the lack of power at takeoff.

Lets start compiling a list for Carenado:

1.  CDI bar on the HSI only moves right, but not left

2.  GSI on the HSI does not activate for GTN Xi LPV approaches

3.  Airspeed indicator reads low  (150 instead of 162)

4.  GNS 430 does not turn off when avionics power is switched off

5.  Up/Down buttons on AP not functional

6.  Airplane under powered on take-off

7.  Default loading set to max passengers + luggage (why?)

8.  Unreasonable performance impact of avionics gauges (goes away when avionics power switched off)

9.  Overly sensitive to cross winds when on the ground

10.  Take-off trim indication does not match required take-off trim setting

.. feel free to add to this list 😉

11. Aircraft is devoid of STOL capability which is it's signature feature in the real world.

This is a good thread. I hope Carenado will make a proper effort to fix all bugs.  There is another PC-12 coming so, I'm just waiting to see what happens.  Having too much fun in 737-800 as of now.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

A state saving for the plane defaulting to the PMS50 GT750 at loading instead of having to use the menu on the tablet each time at start up.

Solution just posted at the MSFS Forum... add this to one or several of your FLT files:

[LocalVars.0]

AS530_HIDDEN=1
GTN750XI_INT_HIDDEN=0

Works for me 🙂

It is sutch a shame for this developer to release a plane within this state, I just can't understand that, unbelievable..

cheers 🤔

I would call them rather designers/painters. if they don't hire/cooperate with a real developer "real soon now" the PC-12 could have been the last semi-complex plane for any forum members they have purchased from Carenado. and this from someone who owns many and has always praised them. the systems complexity of even a PC-12 seems over and above their capabilities. it requires teamwork of different specialists. just like FSW hired external painter know-how for their graphics. ideally someone as qualified as the men at work - ingtitle.

But they wonna take your money, for what, 

to launch an addon that is useless? If I offer something like that, it should fit and if I don't have the capacity of people who can do it, then you should rather leave it, it saves you a lot of trouble ! - IMO.

cheers 🤨

New one comes in this one get's uninstalled, plain and simple.  Can't have a PC12 that can't do it's basic function (STOL).  That's what this aircraft was built to do better than any other aircraft on the market for it's size.😕

Can you imagine Fenix releasing the Airbus A320 without Fly-By-Wire features in the flight model?  That's what this is akin to...👎 That's what word not allowed people off about this developer.  Carenado makes great aircraft but it's hit and miss.  They release an amazing V-Tail Bonanza and two days later to turn around and release a lacking PC12 missing it's primary flight model feature, go figure...😕  They have my money and I'll continue to support them/him (I believe this is a sole developer) because of the amazing aircraft that this developer does release from time to time.  Hope this one get's fixed but do the complexity of it I'm not holding my breath.  Might have to eat this purchase and uninstall it.😐

I think it may indeed... I also start on the runway and have no such problems.

The one time I started on a ramp and used CTRL+e to start the engine, some over the overhead switches were in incorrect positions and did not animate correctly when manually activated..

I start from cool and dark. Will check RW mode. The taxi mode give me same drop of battery.

Best regards

Any of you that know where to find the mode  config. for cold and dark/taxi/ Rwy mode. ? 

Or it is hard coded?

best regards

Nico
