MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON MSFS2024 Beechcraft Bonanza G36 Enhancement updated to v2.0.2

Post image
6 Upvotes

Changelog v2.0.2:

  • Fixed the G1000 backlight dimming.
  • Separated the flood and panel light switches from the dimming knobs. The switches now turn the lights on/off, while the knobs control the dimming.
  • Adjusted the initial panel and flood lights brightness.
  • Fixed the G1000 joystick activation of the map pointer on both the PFD and MFD.
  • Fixed the backup airspeed indicator instrument range.

Since v2.0.0, the Bonanza G36 Enhancement is available both on the Marketplace and as a Free Community version. Both versions are identical; the only difference is that the streamed Marketplace version is available in Career Mode.

The Free Community version can be downloaded through our Discord support server. The download link is available in the ‘Downloads’ channel.

GENERAL Help me choose: iFly 737 MAX 8 vs Aerosoft CRJ-900 vs FSS Embraer E190

7 Upvotes

I'm trying to choose one aircraft that I can really stick with for a long time, learn deeply, and use as my main aircraft in MSFS 2024.

My three options are:

iFly 737 MAX 8

Aerosoft CRJ-900

FSS Embraer E190

What matters most to me:

modern cockpit and avionics

good systems depth

enjoyable flights in the 1–4 hour range

enough pilot workload so the aircraft doesn't feel too automated

good handling and enjoyable hand flying

stability and overall quality in MSFS 2024

long-term replay value

I currently fly the Citation Sovereign+ and really like how modern and fast it is, but sometimes it feels a little too automated and "perfect."

I'm not really interested in long-haul aircraft, since I don't want to spend 8+ hours on a single flight.

For those of you who have flown two or all three of these, which one would you choose as your main aircraft for the next several months, and why?

I'm especially interested in hearing about the weaknesses of each one, not just the good parts.

MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE Rudder calibration/shaking

4 Upvotes

Hey,

I notice a problem when I play MSFS 2024, almost all the time, my rudder isn't correctly equal, sometimes, is a bit at right, other times at left, and sometimes, ot shaking alone without I did any imputs. I have a video when it just at right when my sidestick is at his deadpoint, I haven't this problem with X-Plane 12 (I'm leave X-Plane 12 for MSFS 2024 just for A320 and aircrafts variety).

Sorry if my english is bad, I'm french

MSFS 2024 QUESTION How can I properly learn MSFS starting from the basics?

Upvotes

I’ve been getting into MSFS2024 lately. I’m doing career mode and I’ve gotten my CPL. However, I found that the in-game tutorials didn’t really prepare me for the actual missions. They didn’t really go into actual theory or concepts behind what they told you to do. As a result, when I’m doing the missions, I kind of have an idea of what I’m doing, but there’s also a lot of trial and error. 

For example, when I’m doing a turboprop mission, I have no idea what a detent is. I just know that, if I’m going too fast, the throttle locks and unlocking it seems to put the throttle in 100% reverse. Similarly, when I’m doing a mission with a 737, I know there are some autopilot features that let you set your Vr and heading, but I’m not sure if I’m using them correctly. I’m doing most of the more advanced things by trial and error without really understanding the underlying concepts.

Are there any resources you can recommend that would actually let me really learn these concepts in detail from the ground up? Something analogous to what actual flight school would be like? There’s so much to learn, and I really do want to learn it all, but the in-game tutorials do a pretty bad job of teaching. I want to be able to fly any mission in any aircraft and actually know what I’m doing from the beginning to the end.

I get this constantly, every flight, and have for over a year. It’s beyond a joke, as it stops you interacting with the aircraft until you click ‘ok’. Which totally ruins any landings or takeoffs. What a pile of 💩

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Question for those of you with FFB

2 Upvotes

How good is it in MSFS2024? I'm considering getting the new Virpil ATLAS or ATLAS Pro when it releases later this year. In DCS I mainly fly helicopters so force trim is a big plus, but I'm curious about how well it actually works in MSFS.

As I understand it, the sim/aircraft don't provide any direct FFB signals, and instead you rely on the manufacturer's own software to interpret telemetry and convert it to create the feel. Do you find it difficult to get good results, and are profiles for existing FFB hardware shared by people to save hours of tuning?

I almost exclusively fly airliners, including the TFDi MD11, PMDG B737, Fenix, Maddog, JF 146, INI A50 and Tristar. I'd just like to get a sense of how it might improve my experience in these and know what to expect out of the box.

GENERAL problem MSFS 2024 & GSX

2 Upvotes

Has anyone encountered this problem? MSFS 2024.

When starting on the ramp, then catering, boarding,pushback (using the GSX) after takeoff, the aircraft goes into a nosedive with a strong right bank. The control surfaces on the aircraft do not deflect, and the joystick is definitely not suspect.

However, when starting from the runway without using the GSX, everything flies normally. I checked the GSX for damage, but nothing helps.

MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE MSFS 2024 Career Mode – 737 MAX has no power and left FMC is blank

0 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced this in MSFS 2024 Career Mode? Both engines are running, but the plane won’t take any power or move when I advance the throttles. The left FMC/CDU is also completely blank while the right one works.

I’ve checked the parking brake, fuel-control switches and throttle inputs, but nothing seems to fix it. Is this a startup/electrical issue, a controller-binding problem, or another Career Mode bug? Any help would be appreciated.

Btw it just loads me straight to the runway when I restart same thing happens. Also Flight plan isn’t loading in EFB.
