Included in the mods:

1. Fixed the taxi speed problem

2. Updated sound file with freeware sounds

3. Correct startup and shutdown sequence (using XMLTools)

4. FDE for both -8 and -10 engines

5. Added clickspots for Autopilot and GTNs

6. Yaw Damper actually works.

If you would like to give it a try, send me a PM. 

Secondly, the NAV2 gauge seems to indicate the ILS glideslope in the wrong direction so, when below the glideslope, the needle points downwards and vice-versa, in direct contradiction to the NAV1 HSI, which is correct.

I couldn't see any posts about these issues on the forum, so I thought I'd ask!

Please, what's the trick that I'm missing?

I should mention that I have been moving the throttles to beta over and over, leaving them there for years, and the "word not allowed" locks won't disengage. I'm using Bill's mod.

Thank you for any fix.

I installed the Alabeo one using the Alabeo installer and pointed it to D: Program Files (86x) Steam steamapps common FSX-SE.  It appears in available aircraft but when I open it on the runway at KTNP I can see thru the instrument panel to the runway surface. The actual instruments seem suspended in mid air. Also the elevator does not move when I operate my joystick but the ailerons do. Settings Controls show it is correctly configured and it works fine in the Flysimware C441.

With the better specced new computer I have the graphics up a lot higher than my old one.

Any help much appreciated.

If I disable his engine xml file, I get the normal Carenado/Alabeo start.  Just get a hung start at around 30% with Bill's mod.  See the same issue on the 690B.

Anyone else with the issue?

cheers,

steve

starting with

Both the Flight 1 and Flysimware do 300.

Expanding my fleet of GA birds. Aside from the Duke T and the 310R Alabeo This is my new favorite. The 441 climbs out and handles great. Worth it just for the Avidyne alone. The GTN 750 and an Avidyne are an unbeatable combination.

Everything in this 441 works! The autopilot does what commanded. Everything is predictable and the knobs are easy to find and tune.. The documentation is a little weak as I have no idea where to set these conditioners.

Cheers, Ed

I've had some enjoyable flights when starting with "Ready to Taxi", but when I try the "Cold and Dark", the engines start, but go to maximum towque and don't respond to the throttles. I' doing my best to follow the checklist, but I'm obviously doing something wrong. This is the FSX version and I'm using a CH throttle quadrant. I've tried placing the throttles momentarily in reverse, both before and after start, but no difference. What am I doing wrong?

I didn't see fuel management in the docs...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I know it's only minor, but the strobes on the 441 are either not flashing or sometimes they show for a couple of flashes then stop. Odd thing is that they show flashing on the ground textures, but only below the wings.

I am using fsx steam running in dx10 with the steves fixer. All other aircraft are ok.

Any suggestions or is it a fault.

Thanks

Fixes:
- The aircraft now is not moving if you release the brakes and throttles on idle....
- NAV, COM and ADF turns on with the avionics master instead of turning on individually.
- Barber pole corrected.
- Fixes an issue that was causing the Oxygen indication was always 0.
- Prop sync switch is working correctly now.
- Torque indicators adjusted.
- Minor bugs fixes.

It is and has been wrong on most Carenado/Albeo turbine products.  Question is....where is that calculation held for Carenado/Albeo products?  I can't find it in any of the gauges.  I would like to correct it but can't find it.   

If I am on the ground long enough with the C441 while not running an engine, the batteries discharge very quickly. So I switch to another airplane (FSX default airplane, Cessna 172 or Ultralight) quickly and then I quickly switch back to the C441. I can then turn on every instrument including Alabeo's Avidyne MFD which turns on automatically, and default C441's radios when I turn them on, but the Flight1 GTN750 will not turn back on automatically as it should. Alabeo support has gone quiet on this problem as they e-mail me back by talking about other problems that the C441 has thereby ignoring the problem. This does not happen in any other plane I own.

Alabeo quit responding on this topic in my support ticket I told Alabeo support that the C441 needs a GPU, but they replied and said that FSX will not support a GPU for a turboprop. I told them about the PMDG J4100, because it is a turboprop, and the J4100's GPU functions perfectly. No response from Alabeo support on this GPU topic yet.

Both DME instruments never show values as they only show orange dash marks even though I will tune both Nav1 and Nav2 radios to a VOR. I can be at FL150 30nm away from ORD's VOR or any other VOR and the orange dash marks remain every time, but the VOR needles work fine and point in the proper direction. No response from Alabeo support on this.

During flight it is very easy to accidentally affect the rudder trim wheel while adjusting the AP's vertical speed pitch wheel. If the mouses hand gets bumped to the right by a few millimeters by a little turbulence just slightly to the right of the AP's vertical pitch wheel, the rudder trim wheel which is basically on the floor is all of a sudden being manipulated by my mouses hand. The AP trim wheel is no where near the rudder trim wheel. Alabeo support wants more information from me on this topic but is a screenshot along with a detailed description of the the problem not enough? They are now ignoring me on this issue.

The beacon light does not function properly and Alabeo told me that is because the C441 has an exclusive switch for the beacon in that the anti-collision switch controls both the beacon and the anti-collision lights. That is not how it works on any plane I can think of. In a real life C441, the beacon lights are on the tail and belly, but Alabeo has an invisible beacon light source on the belly that is on when you load the airplane without any light switches turned on. For proof that the C441 has an independent beacon light and that it is not tied to the same exclusive switch as the anti-collision lights switch, well here ya go:

The pressurization rate dial does not function which is not that big of a deal, but they have ignored me on this item too.

The weather radar in the Alabeo Avidyne MFD shows snow sometimes while in some strange simultaneous way mirroring exactly what the Stormscope shows. Their Stormscope gauge does not function the way their pdf states that it will.

Before I forget: Where is the operations manual?

As for ground handling: Does anyone else feel like it taxis on a sheet of ice even at slow speeds of 2 knots when the taxiways and runways are dry in a desert or on a snowy day?

This is my first Alabeo airplane and so far I am not impressed with customer service or in what needs to be fixed where Alabeo support basically says that their model is accurate to the real plane.

I read some good reviews on their track record of support, and I read some really bad reviews on their customer support before buying the C441. So when they tell us that they are going to be updating the C441, I hope they listen to customers that submit support tickets during their current silence. Realizing I sound like just a complainer, but where is the real support? I am just asking for basic help.

Has anyone else out there had any of the problems I listed above?
