I found the rudder worked better on the ground with 1.1 vs 1.2. It wasn't great, but it was manageable.

How are you finding the flight controls with 1.3? Lots of talk about the ineffective rudder sounds worrying.

I'm also seeing super high numbers with fuel the fuel burn. I'm currently in the cruise at FL200,OAT -30, MP 31.5, RPM2450. The AFM and my flight planning software say I should be burning around 215-230lbs per hour Total. My current fuel flow is around 200lbs per engine, so 400lbs per hour total. Kind regards, F_G

Hi All, Firstly, thank you! What a great add-on this is. I've been waiting for this one ever since I saw it announced, personally it's the perfect aircraft for how I want to utilize the sim. I'm certainly not an expert on "high performance twin" piston types, most of my time with props has been PT6's attached to the wings (mostly King Air variants)... I just wanted to add a few notes after my first 45min flight in the 414. Some of this stuff has been mentioned before but I will repeat it for affirmation. I'm using the GTN variant with the PMS GTN 750. Audio I think there are a a few sounds that are great effects but seem unbalanced in the grand scheme of things, these are: -Fuel pumps. I'm sure these are very clearly audible in the real aircraft, but I think they need to be dialed back in the sim. They are arguably louder than the engines. -Ground roll. The bumps and squeaks are awesome when taxiing around, but at higher taxi speeds there is a ground roll type sound that almost sounds like I'm dragging a concrete block behind the aircraft, this sound really needs to be toned right down it overwhelms almost all the other sounds. -Metal/heat popping sounds after shutdown. I think these are great, but they seem a little loud from the interior of the aircraft once the engines are shutdown. Switching Here are a the switches I noticed for which the logic seems to be reversed. They seem so move in the wrong direction when clicking or scrolling them with the mouse wheel: -Fuel Pump switches, -A/C circulate switch -Landing Light switch -Anti-ice elect switch -NAV selector on RMI Engine Behavior -Whilst running the run-up checks prior to takeoff, I've noticed exercising the prop levers/governors really has no effect on engine indications, and there is no clear audible difference when the props are feathered vs max RPM... GARMIN 605 -With NAV mode selected (or VOR mode) I have to disengage NAV mode (enter ROL mode) before I can engage HDG mode. I haven't had a chance to read the manual so this may be correct behavior but it doesn't seem logical. -I was able to fly an ILS but had to assist the autopilot in maintaining the GS in calm conditions. General question -Does the oxygen supply deplete? If so what is the endurance of the tank? I hope this stuff helps, I plan to do lots of flying over the weekend, so will provide more feedback along the way. Thanks again for releasing this! FG

Hi Guys, It looks like Bill hasn't been on the Form for a few weeks, I've just bought this aircraft and really want to get the GTN750 fitted. Could anybody send me the Modified files? Thanks in advance. F_G

Hello, If anybody has a PDF copy of the Citation II POH/AFM I would love a copy! There doesn't appear to be much available for the aircraft online. Thanks in advance, F_G
