I only know those exists as I had a look over the manual yesterday :)

As JetCat mentioned earlier I definitely like the sophisticated modelling of things like the Garmin radios, looking forward to getting a chance to fly this when I finish work

Now just need to persuade JF to add the open source KLN90 as a GPS option :)

I think this is just the cockpit wear and tear which I actually like the look of and not the glass but I'll report back.  

Edit - Nope, it's the glass as well as the interior. I'd like clean glass with a worn interior so I'll try and work out which files are which. Or I could just live with circles, albeit 8K circles.

They have said it should be on the Marketplace today.

Due to the MS / Asobo screening process and update cycle, the marketplace is normally a few weeks behind unfortunately.  They are looking to speed it up.

Really?  That will be a first then.  Maybe they are doing it the other way around and releasing on Just Flight when they know it will be going on the marketplace.

I prefer JF anyway.  We get the loyalty points for the same price!

From the official blurb - We anticipate being clear for a release by around 11am (UK time) tomorrow morning and then the Marketplace release should follow much later in the day.

How does it spin? 😜

From the horses mouth (Product Page)

 

-B

The Tomahawk has a real-world reputation for being very susceptible to entering spins. We have included this behaviour in this simulation of the Tomahawk,

To enter a spin, reach a safe altitude and reduce the throttle to idle. Pitch the nose up to bleed off airspeed until the stall warning horn sounds. Just before the stall occurs, apply full left rudder to enter the spin. Once established in the spin, release pressure on all controls and the aircraft will remain in a spin until pilot input is applied. 

To exit a spin, apply a rudder input opposite to the direction of the spin and push the nose down. Reduce the throttle to idle and once the aicraft exits the spin, pull the nose up gently to return to straight and level flight. Trty not to exceed the aircraft’s VNE (never exceed speed) or G-limits when pulling out of the dive.

Excellent! I inadvertently entered several spins in the 146 on the last flight, when trying to do a custom start in mid-air. Could not recover, scary as word not allowed!

Ive got everything set to realistic in terms of damage, so overstressing the airframe will end the flight…

I think it was mentioned in the latest JF video that the ceiling altitude is 13,000ft? So… Innsbruck to Milan? 😁

Where is the option for a clean or used panel and/or glass ?

It appears the plane "blows up" if you open the storm window in flight.

I thought we'd got past that idiocy in anything not made by Carenado 😞

I think this has more to do with how MSFS handles “overstressing” the aircraft.

yes, but 3rd party devs have been fixing it since at least the P.149

In the Documents folder there is another folder - 'Cockpit'
