S550 Citation II for FSX | P3D

Who has problems when the loc capture on the ILS (like me), goes into the aircraft.cfg in [autopilot] and change the following values nav_proportional_control = 8.000000 //9.000000 nav_integrator_control = 0.300000 //0.250000 I was able to make only single pair test flights (ISG mod keeps me) but it's a lot better. Who still scoring better results may like to join ^_^ Cheers, Janek

I only have an I7-930 with an old 470 card Is the frame rate better with the latest patch? or should I pass on this one. I had high hopes about this a/c but from all the 'problems' I keep reading about.. please advise, thanks.

Here is an updated version 2.0 of my GoFlight MCP-Pro, EFIS, Bespokes for use with GoFlight Interface Tool. Sorta out some issues with the AutoPilot and used IAS/MACH to display real time IAS since there no setting of speed. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw0Q-fAfEZwyeUc3VEJEa1VHbXM/view?usp=sharing Another quick P3D V2.5 Beta 3 test video on a loop around St. Maarten (found a few issues and reported to LM). Cheers, Rob

I much prefer to have the AP mode controller where I can see it, rather than down on the floor. That is one of the reasons I like the B1900 better than the King Airs. Here are the coordinates for the switch (the annunciator moves down to the FMC position, assuming you have disabled it..)

I have done three flight on this bird so far and both times i have been getting the cabin pressure Annunciation warning above about FL310. I have set the dial at 1000 above crz alt. I still get the Warning... Anyone experience this on this A/C? Am I setting it wrong? Thanks....

Hi guys, maybe somebody out there who would be able to do a german repaint for the Cessna? This would be the bird: D-CYKP http://www.planespotters.net/Aviation_Photos/photo.show?id=555617 Or maybe this one: D-CCCF http://www.planespotters.net/Aviation_Photos/photo.show?id=528383 Thanks in advance! Cheers, Mark

Hello Gang, I'm not ready to take on a full repaint of one of these chopped up paint files but I have managed to reduce the oversized Reg # off the tail and use a much smaller font. This gives room to add a little matching color at the tip of the vertical stablizer. I also made a couple of custom logos and lettering for the S/II. Not much, but a start. I have the right side of the T-47A just about correct now. I have to do the left side from scratch, no flipping with this one. Regards, Ray

Is this cool, or what? Regards, Ray

Hello, I would be so grateful, so so so grateful if one of you wonderful people could do a repaint of the Careando citation s550. I would love the one of G-SPUR (The repaint only i do not want any reg on it or any writing just the paint) Or anything like that?? I love the paint on G-FJET

WX radar doesn't seem to be working with ASN. Is anyone else using it? Also are there any docs on the anti icing and air conditioning systems? Thanks

I was wondering if others are seeing the same thing I am with the weather radar. The weather radar does seem to work. However, it works regardless of the power on setting on the radar control panel. i.e. the radar can be off and it still displays on the EHSI or MFD. Changing the gain has no effect on the radar. You can paint terrain with the radar, but it seems to use the same terrain info that the TAWS uses. i.e. there is no ground clutter just start to pick up the peaks of mountains. Tilt down and no matter it will not paint a valley in mountainous terrain. The radar will only paint weather within a few thousand feet of your altitude. Tilt up to paint a …

With the AP engaged ALT SEL set at cruise altitude (e.g. FL250) and alt knob set to 250, FMC set up for FL250, I got a controlled 1800 fpm descent to 11000...not sure why...even when I disconnected AP and leveled off...put the new altitude in the alt knob (aka VSI)...and reengaged AP, it wanted to continue the descent...question: does the aircraft follow the default altitudes in the FSX GPS (flight planner) or the altitudes from an add-on flight planner like FSBuild? Or, does that even matter? As a swag that seems to work...I take off with @11,000lbs GW on a standard day from a 200 ft airport elevation and I use 112 V1, 118 VR, 125 V2 with 700 on the temps... Ri…

Hi: I want to publicly thank Bert Peike for the aircraft mods he has emailed to me from time to time. I've never met the gentleman but he has kindly provided mods to me for the PC-12 and the Citation II when I asked for them. Thank you for your time and generosity.

Hi guys from France, I bought this new aircraft from Carenado and he is amazing. But with collegues we tried to fly by sharing copckit but it doesn't work, P3D bug and stop working. Someone else tried ? Or Carenado support can answer ? It's the first time with Carenado that doesn't worked .. Bye !

I thought this was working before, but in all the confusion over the past few days, maybe it wasn't. I did a flight plan in the GTN 750 as such: CYXC --> ANTAK --> COE --> KSFF (and entered the ILS approach for 22 after the fact). Everything showed fine on the GTN. I took off, engaged the FD, NAV and ALT SEL. The airplane immediately went into a climbing left turn (my departure runway gave me basically a straight out departure) and reversed course. When we were flying northbound it settled on a heading (can't tell you which one - EADI not readable) going away from the course. So I rebooted FSX in case there was a problem there, and redid the flight. Same thing s…

I just loaded a flight into the FMS one I had made from Simbrief and it went up 1000fpm and down 1000fpm and would not hold altitude at all I hope Carenado fixes this problem otherwise have to put in another FMS system in the jet

hello everybody i bought the Citation II a few days ago, and must say, i am really happy with it. Unfortunately i do experience a strange Sound Problem. When i open the Speed Brakes during flight, i hear this Special Sound from the Spoilers, but when i retract them, the Sound continues to be played until touchdown, then it stops. If i take off again on the same flight, the Sound starts playing upon taking off again. also, is there a way to silence the gear horn? I can't seem to press that button on the Panel? is there a Keyboard shortcut for it? many thanks Marc

Let me explain myself, Carenado provides very little information about the C550. How should I know what thrust setting I have to set on climb, descend, cruise? Thats the reason I find myself in overspeed to many times.... How should I know where is everything. How should I know what cabin altitude should I set? Carenado really disappoint about this aircraft. Its nice to fly along with Flight1's GTN 750 but you have to guess how to fly it....

Well, that was an eye opener. I took off out of CYPR bound for PAGS, 1000 lbs under gross at takeoff. Now I know this isn't a Lear so don't go jumping to conclusions about what's coming. However I have been watching these things on Flight Aware the past couple of weeks and most of them (on flights of over 1 hour) are up in the high 300's and occasionally in the low 400's (flight levels). I made the assumption that the ones in the low 400's are corporate machines that aren't loaded too heavily, so discarded them. Very typically they were FL350 to 390. So off I go, Takeoff was ok and about what I expected in terms of distance (about 3500 ft to clear 50'). The initial climb …

If you are familiar with air file tweaks it is a matter of changing tables 1503 and 1504 to fix thrust vs IAP (inverse air pressure). Or someone can send me the air file and I can do a quick adjustment and host it. It won't be spot on and might screw with your N1 readings but at least you won't struggle as much to climb. I don't have the plane but tweaking the air file is not too difficult to do, I'll just need someone to test it.

Hi guys, I guess it is just a simple bug in the aircraft.cfg but the CItation did not recognize by the MS ATC. When I call in for start up/clearance the type of aircraft will not be mentioned like usual. For example: "OE-GBM; type_______, request start up etc etc....normally after "type" the aircraft type will be mentioned but in this case it will be left blank. Maybe there is a mistake in the aircraft.cfg entry ? Thanks for your help in advance! Cheers, Mark

Good day Avsimmers, So whilst I'm loving this plane, I do find that to make out smaller text, like switch labels and annunciator warnings and things like that, I'm having to zoom in quite a bit to even make the text legible, which isn't right. My viewpoint is fairly normal as it should be from the angle I am at, where I can see out of the window and enough of the panel as necessary. My settings are set quite high, with the resolution at maximum. I've even tried lowering it to high and medium with no effect. The photo is with FXAA off, and turning it on doesn't help at all. Here is a photo, perhaps it explains it better than I can. This is P3Dv2. …

Well, thanks to a good friend, we have a fix for the hot start. You'll need something like AirEd (not sure where you can get that now, and there are alternatives so those in the know maybe can post links for these) to edit the air file. BACK UP YOUR AIR FILE FIRST!! Look for Section 1526 - Turbine ITT. Change the value on the ITT Limit to 1600 (now set at 2200 - equates to something close to Lava!). I saw elsewhere here on the forum that an AME person said the starts should be around 450 to 500 max on the ITT. This will give you about 550. I have done one flight with it and I don't think it negatively affects anything else, although your temps my run a little on the l…
