FLIGHTO

Yeah, I flew the ES Cirrus SR22 for many hours....but time outgrew that model.... I used to get great performance from that lil fixed gear bird..... Thats why I am excited about Carenado doing one.... My luck it wont be the turbo motor.... The same way they modeled the dash 21 instead of the others...Any way. I am about to do some FL low twenties performance testing as you stated... lets see what happens... if i get the same or faster true at similar FF, that will be my new cruise alt.... We will see.....

It just dawned on me!!!!! Why in the world would Carenado model the dash 21 and not the dash 34 or even the dash 35 to begin with... I think we should all think about a -35 STC(DLX) for this bird.......I could use 270knts true @ FL270...can you?

I have noticed the same on the higher flight levels.... FF too high. I will set some testing up also..It put up a flag b/c I was in cruise - FL270, ISA -37, Tailwind of about 6knts, and I was up around FF36 (lil over 800lbsft) to get 230 true... Seems like a lot of fuel burn and questionable range.... On these similar conditions, on a +-450nm trip I am getting about 5.3nm/gal...

I just hit my 20 hour mark in this a/c and i have yet to see any of the talked about TAS per GPH that the charts claim...As per the charts: I should be getting around roughly 230-240 true at FL270 2000rpm Prop, under 700lbs.ft., all with under 28GPH..I cannot even get close. I am upwards of 36Gph and not acclerating to those true speeds with over 800lbs/ft ?I am interested in the 2000 RPM range only..I have printed the charts from Jetprops site that show 2000RPM at the flight levels.What is everyone getting? I know there might be a limitation to FSX but I was really under the assumption that I would be able to see 250+ true at cruise...I know its comparing apples to oranges but i get 225-230 true from a Cirrus SR22 Turbo at FL250....Thanks

Bliksimpie, it did the trick.......Thanks......

I dont know how to tone it down, any suggestions?

After watching alot of rw film on this a/c....Does anyone feel that this plane is to "Rivety"??? it seems that the r/w planes wing just look alot smoother looking out of the pilot seat? I know there are limitations within FSX but perhaps we can tone down the shadows on the rivets?It seems that the a/c might even render better on the spot view also?

Sent, Thanks Bert

This is awesome....... I am tired of waiting for eaglesoft to finish there perspective...This is on my top 5 list. as long as it is the turbo model.....

Always something right????Upon reaching cruise alt and establishing cruise speed, the Stec and the 530 reset.... All I had to do was turn them off and on but still.... I am hoping this is a minor bug....

LMAO....Yeah Im ok..... I just finished my third flight.. I have been flying this plane all day....It seems that the "D" keypress did the trick....Why do you think this happens to this plane only....

I would leave it in the bottom left as it is... there is nothing in that corner to begin with... its out of the way.

Will do.....Ill be home in a couple hours...Ill recreate some flight plans..

Nice going... Its looking good... Cant wait...

I will try the keypress when I get home. I really hope its that simple....

Extremely excited about this...... Thanks for the response.. DME on the PFD would be great... I am convinced that we all could make this plane perfect over time.....1 tweak at a time..Thanks again....

I am at my wits end with this issue.... This is the deal.. This happens with about 50% of my flights.I setup flight as normal, load the aircraft within the sim, run down the checklist to the T. Flight plan is up and the Garmin navs are set to GPS.I am now pre-take off: Enter the initial assigned altitude into the G500 along with the VS. Turn the bug to RWY heading. Enable the FD/AP master switch...........I take off. Everything is normal.I click VS on the STEC to enable AP climb out (roughly 1000ft) - it works as normal.I click HDG on the STEC to have the AP hold the RWY HDG and the aircraft turns away from the HDG bug and holds a HDG 30 to 40 + degrees off. See first picture.If I turn the HDG bug, the AP always tracks 30 to 40+ degrees to the left or right.If I enable NAV on the STEC, the AP turns and tracks some random HDG. See the other two attached pictures. (The Garmin units are still on GPS mode) There is nothing I can do at this point to make the AP track the magenta line. If I exit out of the flight and re-create it again, it works 9/10 times.This is driving me crazy since by the time I get to this point in the flight I already have invested 30-40 minutes planning and running through checklists.Any Ideas? Sorry about the photo quality, i grabbed my phone and snapped a few pics before Killed the flight.Thanks

i know what you mean, having over 200 hrs in Flight 1's mustang, i was spoiled. I guess i will have too wait for bliksimpie to send me his tweak.... having the traffic on the G500 MFD would have been nice.....Thanks

So by default the G500 does not support TCAS.??????? I have read about bliksimoie tweak, I have PM'd him (or her).Sorry about the caps, i am a heavy duty equipment and aircaft appraiser, all my reports have to be in caps...... its kind of always on...

PM SENT.........THANKS

PM SENT.THANKS

AM I MISSING SOMETHING OR IS TRAFFIC (TCAS) NOT SUPPORTED BY THE G500 IN THIS BIRD?THANKS
