No, you can't modulate speed. You can use FLC (flight level change) only to change the altitude. Max (climb) thrust for climb and idle thrust during descent. The AP only pitches the aircraft up/down to maintain the selected speed. FLC isn't very comfortable IRL in anything than perfectly calm weather due to to constant pitch changes.

2 buttons? With the SPD SEL button you can adjust the reference speed. In FLC mode the aircraft tries to maintain the set speed.

Only in the FSX/P3D menu which changes the displayed weights between lbs and kg in the weight & balance menu.

Right in front of you...on the yoke.

Definitely have to keep monitoring the progress on this one! Thanx for the HU 🙂

Since Carenado/Alabeo aircraft are designed strictly in-line with the SDK it's not possible that the installation of one aircraft affects other aircraft as well. There must have been a change within your joystick/simulator setup since you have installed the Premier. Suggest to recheck all your bindings, calibration etc.

Works for me.

It wouldn't be the first time that a color is wrong or the function is different from the RW aircraft 😉

A VAPP of 138kts means an actual weight of 63t which already close to MLW. At low weight VAPP is only 118kts.

Yes. Anything below 100% considerable slows down the flight controls movement which can lead to to ugly pilot induced oscillations due to the delayed flight control deflection. That's the only thing the sensitivity slider does, delaying the control response. Never understood why they have it setup this way in FSX/P3D.

But IRL it's usually a combined light/switch. Try dropping full scale deflection below the G/S and see if it comes on.

Are you referring to the G/S light left of the marker beacon lights? On most aircraft this is the G/S inhibit light/switch. If you are dropping too far below the glideslope it comes on and by pushing this button you can inhibit this warning. Slightly OT. Concerning your takeoff problems. Do have the sensitivity sliders at max or at least 100%?

Thanx for taking the time to post the solution 👍

That's not embarrassing at all, and this would have been in fact the next question I would have asked. Glad that it works for you 🙂

Thanx for your continous testing 🙂

Have you fully loaded the aft cargo compartment before starting to load the forward compartment? Especially the hard pitch down after takeoff is very strange. Sounds almost as if the AP is engaged. Edit: Just for testing leave the fwd compartment empty.

How much back pressure did you use? To get the rotation going you need a rather large amount of back pressure. Using full aft stick isn't a problem as long as you relax the back pressure as soon as the rotation starts. Did you load the forward cargo compartment as well?

Don't forget that you have to lean the engines much more than IRL to achieve the correct engine performance. Climb speed should not drop below 111kias. No problem climbing to FL250 at MTOW. If you want to achieve the maximum climb performance you must use full throttle and max RPM up to FL200. If you haven't done yet, I suggest to download the latest FDE. https://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=211600&Cookie=1

The FDE has been designed so that takeoff works best with the default neutral trim. Where have you got the -2.9 from? The Carenado ATR isn't difficult to balance since there is only a single passenger section. Are you using 15° flaps and the correct speeds? At MTOW VR is 110kts and V2 115kts.

138kts is fast but correct for an A320 at MLW. A heavy A321 is even faster at 146. Another important point is to always consider that the loadsheet and or the data entered into the FMC could be wrong. If the pitch attitude isn't between 0deg and +2deg (on 99% of the airliners) it's a good indication that something is wrong with the calculated speeds/weight. If you get this 'alarm' seconds from landing, it would be nice to know what kind of alarm this is. Sound more like the middle or inner marker to me. If you are too slow you should get s 'SPEED SPEED' aural warning.

Glad I could help, but it's puzzling that there hasn't been a single complaint in all those years!

AFAIK this happens if the hardware prop lever isn't fully forward at all times on the PC-12.

This slight banking tendency doesn't have anything to do with yaw and hence doesn't require rudder to correct, but aileron/aileron trim. Again, can you check the loadout screen if there are any additional passengers except the forward one? In my default loadout there's a third passenger on the right side of the aircraft. This could be responsible for the slight banking tendency.

Strange. Are you maybe trying to get the tail up with forward stick? This will also increase directional control problems.

Are you using active sky or a similar weather add-on? Quite a few wx add-ons don't play nice with some add-on aircraft. Not experiencing these problems with the FSX/P3D weather engine.
