Does anyone else have the issue of saving a flight..then reloading and the airplane is back to being fully topped off? 100% Fuel every time I load it. Is there a way i can have it save my fuel load so If I want to tanker into 3 or 4 airports with precisely the right amount of fuel it will save where I had the tanks? Or is this a P3dv4 thing? 

Capceo, That looks beautifull!! What scenery/airport is that? Is that actually pittsfield MA? I like that hangar lol

Climbing out of Everett, WA over the weather

YES!! I was hoping for features like this. would be neat if it had a refueling panel like the old crs 747 where its real time fueling and you can operate the precheck valves ect. Just another Idea, as silly as it seems, Any chance the baggage door will ever open? you guys are constantly making this product better and better by the week. 

Will this version include the new sound updates as well?

Wow! That looks amazing..seems like the brightness is just right. Any chance of getting rid of the blocky ceiling? 

All i can say is WOW. You guys keep at it and this will be the "pmdg level" business jet of flight sim! Hope those wheel sounds are there on landing as well to hear the tires whining down as your slowing..such a cool sound to hear in a real jet. You guys have got the sound down just about dead on perfect!!

Blocks on the cabin ceiling still drive me nuts though lol

Where exactly are the apu sounds installed? Just curious if there was a way for me to revert back to my old v1.6 apu sound with 1.7? Would it be a matter of just copy and paste old sounds over the new ones?

OK, Updated p3d client to 4.4..updated GTN and Garmin trainer..installed the falcon 1.7 and now all the chrome is black and interior celing is still blocky. Verified p3d is version 4.4 and i downloaded  a fresh copy of the falcon as of tonight. Installed the "P3DV4.4" version in the installer...WHY WONT 1.7 WORK for me??? im at a loss guys..back to 1.6 again.

ok thanks for clearing that up..didnt seem right but it did work..sorta..haha. either way, as much as I hate to say it, it may be time for me to move on a find a different biz jet..I STILL CANNOT get this thing to hold a set speed for anything longer than an hour or so. Ive tried everything from fsuipc changes to different flight controllers to even using the keyboard to control the throttle..dont have this problem with any other aircraft..after 15-20 minutes its either overspeed or slowing to a stall, n1 will not stay put and V1.6 (just updated to it tonight) seemed to have made the issue worse..i just barely feather the throttle and it jumps from 78% to 86%..shes all over the place, been fighting this for months now, i give up! its a shame because i love flysimware and shes a beautiful bird!

ok so on install i selected P3Dv3 and set the directory manually to v4. Iva got an airplane now but the interior celing textures are all screwy (looks like blocks) and I have NO sound other than battery. going back to 1.6 until this all gets sorted out, for a brief minute though ive gotta say im floored by the interior textures..especially the panel..WOW.

so unless I missed something...Im gathering this 1.7 will NOT work with anything but v4.4?? seems kinda rough I have to upgrade the entire sim for one plane..theres no comparability to run it without PBR in v4.3 at all? 

Hey guys, had a quick question about settings in P3Dv4.

I have dynamic lighting turned on and all sliders are roughly set about mid way in terms of scenery/lighting. I noticed on the Falcon landing lights at night, there's a series of lines dividing the beam along the fuselage as opposed to a steady beam.. Is there a light setting that could be causing this or is this within the flysimware falcon itself? none of  my other aircraft do it but i figured maybe it could be something different with the textures on the falcon? either way, any ideas would be appreciated, thanks again!

Wow scott thats absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for the hard work, came out better than i pictured!!

Wish there was a way to model the sound of those tires whining down the runway..always though that was such a cool sound after touchdown.

I was just simply saying for sim immersion it might be pretty neat to have some sort of indication other than just the volt meters. And in real life yes..the Hobart GPU 400's and 600's which ive used many many times do in fact make an electrical discharge hum thats very audiable outside the aircraft..along with cooling fans ect..they are not silent at all. This seems to be the gpu that is modeled. Now technically no, you cant hear it in the cockpit..in a small CJ with the door open maybe but not very much at all. Certainly not in a falcon...i do see your point, sometimes for me though..things that lend to immersion arent necessarily accurate in real life..but are pretty immersive on a computer screen lol.

Hi Bob,

Doh - I may have been messing with the GPU when that occurred - I'll confirm when I have a chance...

Wish we had some sound effect for the GPU - like the Hot Start TBM in XP - would help eliminate confusion...

Thanks for the feedback...

Regards,
Scott

I was just thinking that last night..wish we had at least a power humming sound or something to represent the electric gpu!

Wow..thats pretty close! Dont just tease me scott lol!

just curious if anyone (on the web not just avsim) is doing any repaints for this bird? I literally pay to have this paint.

WOW! I do stand corrected. Messed with my sound card a bit after watching your video trying to figure out why it sounded awsome but on my system it was vanilla..seems I had way too much bass and not near enough mid range and treble in the mixer (I use a 3rd party sound program)..I now can hear the whine!! I couldnt hear it at all before. the best part is ALL my aircraft sound better LOL..just fired up the pratts on my DC3 and wow!...not sure what happened in the migration from FSX to P3Dv4 a few weeks ago but its fixed now. So like I said, I stand corrected..new sounds are a ton better! I do second scott on the apu sound. PMDG has always had interior and exterior apu sounds...it can for sure be done. I honestly think this bird has come a long way! GOOD JOB FLYSIMWARE!! sincerely, you guys did a hell of a job on this bird inside and out!

noticed that tonight on a 4 hour flight it showed I had not burned any weight off.

For me its when The avionics are kicked on..my FPS Drops a good 8-10 fps. turn them off and its smooth as glass. thats running either the stock flysimware gps OR the Flight 1 GTN750.

Or if a developer wants to switch to physics-based raindrop modeling, A2A offers theirs to other developers for free:

https://a2asimulations.com/product/a2a-rain-effect-for-p3dv4/

It's the same modeling that is used in the A2A Bonanza.

Hi Folks,

Yeah - if they are sharing them with everyone for FREE - I'd hope Flysimware takes a look to consider - at least...

They're quite good...

I think that would be a huge leap for this falcon, that would definitely be awsome if flysimware would consider this!!  

I've got the APU Sound, but its the same as it was before, same sound clip inside or out. as far as the engine sounds, doesnt sound a whole lot different, still doesnt have the distinct TFE Whine at full throttle. the lear actually sounds more like the falcon 50 should, I may just copy that soundset over. Its not bad by any means, but I actually prefer to go back to the old sounds fromt he last beta..good thing I still have a copy lol. As far as the FDE...im about 30 minutes from landing right now. So far, its better, but still wants to wander all over the place in terms of speed. I unplugged by flight controller and used keyboard to adjust...no real change. Cruise at 78.4% N1 netted around .80mach. but just backing of to 78% and speed fell to .69 mach...im sorry but thats just not right when 4 thenths of a percent in N1 changes speed that drastically especially when its down well below 90%, where in a turbine, most of your punch is roughly 90-92% and up. Starting to get frustrated and wishing they would just install an "STC" for an autothrottle lol. love the bird, but its getting old having to constantly screw with the power the entire flight. God forbid I have to go to the bathroom, i come back and shes either blowing through the sound barrier (ok not really, but ya get my drift) or about to stall LOL.

Just wondering what sound file that is that sounds like avionics/battery running in the VC even when battery is off? looked through the sound folder and didnt find it. So far sounds are good, but that through me for a loop trying to figure out what in the world was powered up with everything off..maybe a bug? wasnt sure if its supposed to be there. taking off out of palm beach now headed for colorado, we'll see how she does!

Thats interesting! I will try that for sure. However, i can find a stable N1 to hold a speed..the issue is that the N1 keeps slowly climbing on its own..in other words..no matter what N1 I set..it wont stay there..and not by .1 or .2..it has varried as much a 3.5% N1 if i dont constantly keep adjusting power up and down.

Also, did you mean it will be capable of more N1 at altitude and takeoff? Because honestly..she doesnt need it...shes got more than enough power to blow through Vne lol. Either way..as long as it stays true to the real thing..anything to make it better would be great!
