  1. Are they CH Products? If so, I have the same problem (and many others too). I'm currently looking to replace by buying Logitech.
  2. Hello, it's unlikely due to the time that's passed, but is the yoke still available?
  3. Wow, that’s some serious hardware for free. Don’t suppose you have anything left?
  4. There’s been a lot of that today and it’s due to the weather servers running amok (possibly related to the numerous outages reported today). Temps at higher altitudes were very wrong (summer-like temps up there).
  5. There’s a couple, like the freeware Edgley Optica (NOT from Orbx) or GotGravel’s Vertigo. Remains to be seen how the HondaJet will be, but after some chatting and seeing his previews, I have high hopes this will be study-level quality.
  6. I just run 'em over... Fortunately, the sim doesn't count them as objects that would otherwise damage the aircraft. It's annoying, to be sure, but since most of my time is spent in the skies, I don't let it bother me too much.
  7. On behalf of a diligent and single developer, I present to you... The HondaJet! For more info, go here to the official forum post about it, includes screenshots and more info! https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/upcoming-hondajet-for-msfs/418226 I don't know about you, but I'm plenty excited about this little beauty. A little background on this guy who developed it: He originally worked on it as a project and implemented it into Prepar3D and then found out about MSFS and decided to rebuild it from the ground up for the new sim. All told, he's spent a couple of years on this. He estimates roughly a month to go before completion. Most likely freeware, but payware-level quality! If it performs like it looks, I'll donate a nice sum to this guy!
  8. Leg #2 of my world tour, from W05 (Gettysburg, PA) to KACK (Nantucket, MA), with a long detour to D.C. and up the coastline to the Big Apple, and across Long Island. All in the DA40NG with gorgeous views.
  9. Decided to try my hand at the DA40NG and...WOW! I think I'm gonna like flying this nifty little plane a lot! The view out of the cockpit is otherworldly. I can see why it's a very popular plane. Actually flew my first leg of my planned world tour, from KCGF to W05 (Cuyahoga County Airport, OH to Gettysburg Regional in PA). Did it all in live weather too, so it was thundering and lightning and dark. IFR to the rescue! Landing this plane took me a little bit by surprise as I dropped pretty quickly as I got close to the runway, but flying in the dark kind of makes you misjudge distances, doesn't it? I bounced, but got down in one piece. Not bad for flying this plane for the first time, right? Also was using this flight to collect data for putting together a performance profile for those who use Little Navmap. I sent Alex (the creator of LNM) the profile file and I'm sure he'll upload it to his site before long if anyone wants an accurate performance profile for the DA40NG. IMPORTANT INFO HERE: The profile I created is based off the mod created by mrtommymxr and will ONLY work with that mod. So, if you use the default Asobo version or some other mod, it won't work (there's a specific field in the profile that reads exactly which aircraft you're flying, modded or otherwise). Think I'll fly this plane again for my next world tour leg, going through DC and working my way up the coastline. Meanwhile, enjoy the shot I took!
  10. I've only gotten the VNAV to work properly in the Working Title mod of the CJ4. Like I said earlier in this thread, it's the only plane currently that has functional VNAV. I understand not even the CRJ from Aerosoft can boast this. For the other planes, I reference the approach charts and follow accordingly or just let ATC direct me (although the sim's artificial intelligence leaves a LOT to be desired). Give it a little time, the Working Title team is working on it!
  11. Actually, VPATH is a function of VNAV. It’s the vertical path that the plane captures when within the computer’s VNAV calculated trajectory (you’ll likely have to descend manually or via VS to reach that capture point). Once captured, the Garmin takes over from there until you press the AP approach button and it captures either the glide scope or glide path, depending on the approach ATC assigns you (be it RNAV or ILS, VNAV should work for both, I believe). This only works if you have a flight plan with altitude constraints built into it, namely the STAR and approach pattern. VNAV becomes active once you’re on the first leg with a waypoint with an altitude constraint You COULD use it during the climb, but most don’t and stick with whatever altitude ATC tells them to climb to and use FLC.
  12. You don't. At least not yet. Got this straight from the horse’s mouth over on Working Title’ discord after I asked about their new upcoming G1000 NXi and VNAV and if the G3000 would see something. Here’s their answer: “It will feature functional VNAV, yep. The G3000 will continue to get some updates like the other ones, but the next level of it will likely come after we get the nav and flight plan systems dialed in on the NXi”
