Yes, the same thing happens on the iFly 737 MAX. On some occasions it would fail to load up correctly and it's all due to the battery and avionics switches on the Alpha yoke being in the OFF position, even though I have no key bindings to them. Had me head scratching for quite some time.

Are you sure about that because thats a pretty need find . If I cant be sure my hardware is not  interrubting even without any bindings it really is problematic .

Is this also related to freezing cockpit maybe? Do you always set them to ON position?

I wouldn't stake my life on the claim Michael, but it is my understanding (confirmed by a google search) that they are "pre-bound" to the common settings for most simulators. It sort of makes it a 'user friendly" plug and play device. I guess that different aircraft will either respond or not depending how aligned they are with the standard simulator bindings. The pre-bound settings can be overridden with user preferred settings.
Either way you can try it for yourself. I only really looked into it due to the problems with the iFly 737 MAX. 

I have to ensure that I have the battery switch selected on, on the yoke, or nothing really works. For a long time I thought that it was the iFly plug in that was the issue. If i have been flying other add ons and turned the battery switch off at the conclusion of a flight, then if the next flight is in the iFly I have to remember to turn the battery switch to the ON position on the yoke.
This caught me out recently after the last iFy update........and yes, it was that switch in the OFF position.
The avionics switch is similar in the Citation X.

Ok Thanks  , maybe because i always restart the sim after a flight if using another aircraft afterwards makes the differents

Read through the manual and couldn't find how to get the reversers to work. Followed some YT guides for msfs 2024 but it doesn't work on the c750 for some reason.

It's the basic Reduce Throttle command repeated (F2) when applying and Throttle Cut to release

Wow, 25 pages, this must be one very popular aircraft.

Yeah, followed that for 2024 and still not getting the reverse working. 2024 has different bindings, it seems. Throttle Cut is no longer there. Oh well.

Didn't hit it off with the C750 initially, but now after a couple of more flights she's def grown on me as much as the HJet has.

She flares gracefully onto that tarmac and it feels sooo good!

Oh yeah I'm on 2020. Didn't realize 24 was different.

Thanks for helping! 

Just got it but i am in at testflight with the A319SL . Never tried a BJ besides the BBJ2 . Looking forward to try it out.

Thanks

Picked this plane up last week and I am really enjoying it. 

One issue I am having is going high and fast.  Perhaps maybe its just how the real thing is and I certainly understand that if you are heavy you can't necessarily climb to max altitude and and bounce off the red max speed indicator right away but in my case I can pretty much never reach 51000 feet and Mach .92.  In the high 30,000 feet range I can easily hit Mach .92 but above 40000 feet its a real struggle.  Even with a light payload and fuel at 46000 feet I can only reach Mach .88.

Also fuel burn above 40000 feet is pretty low.  This is the non winglet version in FS2020.  

I am sure most of this is just limitations in the simulator but for now I can kind of feel Mach .92 and 51000ft is one of those situations that actually rarely happens.  It takes a combination of correct atmospherics and a very light payload. 

Just wondering if this is totally normal or accurate or is the modeling still need a bit of work?

OAT at your final cruise xxyyy Altitude?

Are you using just MSFS2020 Live weather (no addons)?

The real thing cannot achieve .86+ at 51,000 feet. Even .85 is barely going to be possible. In the real world for efficiency you'd be cruising at FL450-FL490 depending on weather/winds and usually sticking to .85 for fuel burn. M.92 at the upper 30s is great when you need to haul a** on a 400 or so nm leg, FL510 would only be useful to top a thunderstorm if you couldn't deviate around it but even then it's still hard to justify a reason to go that high.
