All the button (little black circle) on the fuel counter does is reset it to zero regardless of current value or if the engines are running or not. If engines are running it will count up pounds of fuel burn from where ever it is/was with one or both engines are started. It can be reset to zero any time on the ground or in flight. IRL it is very accurate as it counts the number of turns caused by forced rotation of a turbine by movement of uncompressible liquid fuel so their is no slippage. My understanding is that the FSW35a uses an algorithm to compute fuel burned in pounds by the engines and it seems to be accurate in my more than 250 hours in the sim so far.

Thank you. I know I have the correct livery. The cockpit GTN Bezel tells me to go download the needed file frop the pms50 folks. UPDATE: Yep, you were correct. It was nested. I should have known better to check it. The Flysimware folks do the same thing with their stuff. I HATE IT when the install directions are not correct and don't warn you that the needed file is nested. Good Catch btacon. Cheers Headwind

I just downloaded the PMS50-GTN750, unzipped and copied to MSFS Community Folder today. I have been flying the FSW35a using the Garmin 530 for two months and want to try the GTN. I have planned on using the pay ware version as soon as I see the free ware working. The GTN750 is not showing up in its Lear 35 livery and the Content Manager shows PMS50-GTN750 as 'Not Installed'. Now what? Headwind

Hi guys. I just purchased the new Learjet 35a for MSFS 2020. I am a retired corporate/charter Chief Pilot with more than 11,000 hours in Lear Jets (24, 31, 35, 55) in which more than 8,000 hours over 26 years in the Lear 35a since 1977 with VLF navigation and as recent as 2018 with King and Garmin panel mount GPS systems. I have flown Lears almost half of my 23,600+ flight hours including 14,000+ in corporate jets (Lear, Gulfstrem 3 and 4, Falcon 50). I am thrilled to again get my hands on my old friend, a steam gauge Lear 35. I only have a few hours in the new Lear 35 sim for MSFS 2020 and am impressed and pleased. It look great and feels right at home with the panel mount Garmin. I know the product is new and many updates are in work. I haven't found too much to nick pick about yet but I do want to comment on a few things that need to be worked that I've noticed so far. Mostly the fuel and fuel transfer system has caught my attention. The fuel panel light sequencings look correct but the resultant pressure don't. The fuselage fuel tank transfer/fill speed is way too slow. In reality the fuel transfer for the 200 gallon/1,340 pound fuselage tank is about 47 pounds per minute (2,820 pounds/hour) and will transfer completely in about 30 minutes. So far it seems that the simulator only transfers and fills at about 8 pounds per minute or 71.6 gallons per hour. Right now it would take about 2 hours and 45 minutes to transfer and/or fill the fuselage tank. IRL, if a crew was asleep at the switch (pun intended) and forgot to bring fuselage fuel forward until alerted by Warning Lights to impending flame-out due to empty wing fuel, the transfer system is fast enough to keep fuel to the engine even at low altitude/high power. Not so at the current transfer rate in the simulator. So the low transfer rate is a safety. Trust me, forgetting to bring fuselage fuel forward is a thing. As far as fuselage fill with the current sim config, so much for a quick turn at a fuel stop. Kinda like stopping every couple hundred miles in your new EV and having lunch while waiting to recharge your batteries. In regards to refilling an empty fuselage tank you would have time to go see a movie waiting to refill. 🙂 You could drive a car over 200 miles in that time. Another thing that I noticed in the sim is that: In the real Lear 35, turning off a jet pump and standby fuel pump with the engines running should cause a Red Fuel Pressure Warning light and possible engine flame out if above lower flight levels (depending on O.A.T.) due to the inability to suction fuel feed engines at higher altitudes. In the new sim version shutting off a jet pump and standby pump does Not cause fuel pressure lights. I haven't yet tried to shut off a jet pump and standby pump at higher flight levels to see if I get a flame-out as expected. I also have not yet tried to pump fuel left and/or right using cross-feed and differential pressure using one standby pump on with cross-feed open. Is there a config file value somewhere that can be edited to speed up the transfer/fill rate? I agree with several commenters that the autopilot speed hold and vertical speed hold IRL were sloppy and not comfortable for the folks on board but they seem to work pretty well in this sim version. That is a good thing because I can't figure out how to key bind or H.O.T.A.S. bind the barrel switch on the control wheel so have to keep the yoke in view to be able to control autopilot pitch using the mouse which is a PITA and in the Lear 35 with its OEM seats your 'A' is prolly already sore. (Lear 55 seat MOD is really worth it.) I would like to have the ability bind keys and/or H.O.T.A.S. for the pitch (and roll) barrel switch and binds for the Steer Lock switch. I would also like advise on how to set-up binds to be able to reverse both engines. I don't know how to use mouse clicks to reverse both engines during a busy landing roll. The spoiler axis H.O.T.A.S. bind do work. Thanks guys for doing the Lear 35 and doing it well. I have been retired for almost six years but still fly almost every day with my sim set up a home. I have missed the Lear 35 and steam gauges I never did like the Gulfstream 4 glass cockpit as well as I liked the Gulfstream 3 with round analog flight instruments surrounding glass MFDs. This bird brings back more memories than any other MSFS (or XPlane 11/12) available. When they get the new upcoming CH-47 Chinook done sometime early this year I will be a happy camper re-united with my first love, the Chinook, and my long time companion the Lear 35. I'll be flying the Lear sim a lot in the near future and commenting more soon. Marvin 'HeadwindH' Hesket, Wichita, Kansas

psychedelic. Yes, as I said before, keybinds and H.O.T.A.S. button assignments, and mouse clicks all make the cockpit switch graphics show the left clicks and right clicks as expected but I get no trimming, period. I have to live with take-off config warning lights and sound until I get airborne off the squat switches and I have to manually hold rudder in climb to overcome P-Factor. I am a 23,000+ hour pilot and I do know how it's susposed to work. The problem IS NOT key binding. Thanx for responding though. It would be nice to hear from FSR on this. Cheers, Headwind

Sorry, I missed deleting the extra repetitive text at the bottom of my previous post about the FSR M500 rudder trim not working. Headiwnd

Hi all, HeadwindH here. New member today. I would like to comment with a thumbs up on the FSReborn FSR M500 that I have been flying in MSFS 2020 for the last week or so. I really like the new aircraft and all of the fun extras with this package. It has been fun flying Night/IFR in winter weather and trying to make the A/I passengers happy. Thinking about passenger comfort in a flight sim is another welcome wrinkle in the immersion that an old retired 50 year professional G/A pilot has been seeking. With the exception of a few minor bugs, which I will get to, I think FSReborn has done a bang up job (no pun intended; much) with this aircraft and integrating other developers avionics and systems. Up to this point I give the package a 4.8 and well worth the price. The only problem that I have found with the FSR M500 so far, not counting the fact that the latest FS Update this week has hurt the FPS of the whole simulator and all it's aircraft somewhat, is the the Rudder Trim does not move which in turn causes a 'T/O Config' warning on every take-off until breaking ground airborne. I have an X52 Pro H.O.T.A.S system and I have NOT assigned any H.O.T.A.S Axis to the Rudder Trim. I have assigned rudder trim left and right to the MSFS 2020 keyboard bindings. I get proper animation of the rudder trim rocker switch left and right using the mouse on the cockpit switch and with the keyboard switches but no movement of the rudder trim indicator and no actual trimming which means I get the 'T/O Config' waring every takeoff. I am using Windows 10 with an AMD 8 Core CPU, 32 GB Mem, Nvidia 1070 with 8 GB driving three monitors. one 42" 4K monitor for the sim, one 32" 2K for the virtual vFIP, and one small VGA for navigraph. I use a Saitek X52 Pro H.O.T.A.S, Multi and Switch Panels, and 3 Flight Insturment Panels. Spad.neXt drives the Saitek Flight Panels and several virtual vFIP guages. I use Simbrief to talk to the EFS and Navigraph for moving maps and charts. I have put about 15 hours on the M500 now and put the Garmin package through it's paces, seeking out real life areas of winter weather with Night/IFR with dark approaches into low vis ice and snow. I spent most of the last week up and down the Northwest Coast Washington and Oregon where there has been widespread Low visibility, rain, ice and snow. The Garmin system in this Piper aircraft works really well and true to life. I have many years of real life experience the Garmin 430, 530, and G1000 systems as well as many other systems in G/A turboprops and jets. I would say all of the developers of this aircraft and others associated with MSFS 2020 have teamed up pretty well and finally got a good handle on the Garmin systems. Thank you FSReborn guys for a really nice product. Marvin 'Headwind' Hesket I have been getting O.K. frame rates am using Windows 10 with an 8 core AMD and 32 GB memory and a NVIDIA 8 GB with three monitors and Spad.neX with the Saitek Multipanel, one Switch and one Radio Panel and Navigraph. Except for a couple of small issues I give the whole product a 4.8 so far. One issue is causing two problems. The rudder trim will not move. I can animate the rudder trim switch in both directions using the cockpit switch and mouse, and key binds for left and right rudder trim but get no movement on the indicator and no actual trimming. I do NOT have any of my X52 H.O.T.A.S. system joystick axis assigned to rudder. Because I get no rudder trim I cannot avoid T/O Config warning on every takeoff because I can't get the rudder trim on the required blue mark 2 to 3 degrees to the right. I just got to FSR M500 a few days before the last MSFS 2020 update a few days ago and before the update all of my aircraft, including the M500 were giving good frame
