Did some flying with the Longitude earlier - some things I've noticed:

It was overspeeding during cruise. Workaround - dial in another 1000 feet or so altitude or manually control the cruise speed.

I couldn't find any way to import a flight plan and the built in flight planner doesn't show up in the Garmin flightplan. Workaround: Plan the flight in the sim flight planner and bring up the navlog to capture waypoints manually.

Otherwise I quite like the aircraft, the cockpit layout is more logical than the CJ4 and it doesn't take long to learn where everything is.

Guess I'm exiting the beta then. Kind of hard to beta test when it ends up breaking a totally different, stable, third party add-on. 

But I thought that was the idea of a beta?  Testing new software to see what breaks, then report it?

On the right GTC unit - Press "Map" on there and it will change it back for you. 

Awesome.  Thanks.

The cruise target number of 0.84 (right up against the barberpole) is actually accurate to the real airplane. A few kts above or below is totally OK. CEOs gotta get to their golf tourneys. 😉

I didn't even know this beta was coming. But it's spectacular! I will need to learn the Longitude avionics all over again, but that will be a pleasure. My highest compliments to all responsible for these huge enhancements to the sim.

Anyone else noticed that this update breaks the PMDG 737 NAV radio panel. I am unable to set a decimal value or swap the active frequency.

Thanks for mentioning it. Yes. I have seen this twice now. I was about to go looking to see if others were having the issue as well. I had to switch to RNAV approaches both times. 

One other odd thing I noticed was that the marker beacons were beeping even though I had not selected to listen to them on the panel. The good news is that I could hear them. They used to be so low in volume that you couldn't hear them at all.

Thanks for the feedback. Now I've got to practice the landings, ended up doing some "firm" ones as 737 NG Driver would put it.

Anyone else have non working landing lights in the CJ4?

Works for me. I was using a default livery, haven't tried a custom one yet.

Wow!  Seems like you have your knickers in a twist today.  What's wrong with you?  Favourite toy broken?

Just tried the default livery here and it isn’t working for me. Strange, neither do taxi lights

No, definitely 'favourite' where I come from.  Proper English - we invented it but of course, you can have your local version if you want - no problem - not picky like some.     

Anyway, I hope the Nav panel gets fixed for you.  PMDG are normally pretty good with the updates.

It’s actually French. 😉
