Dassault Falcon 50

Hi- Just bought the 50. I've selected the single 750 from the list (which is odd as all choices are selected by default), restart the sim and nothing. Shift+7 brings it up however. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with the GTN 750 (not just in the falcon..but has done this in the Lear as well) freezing somewhere mid point in a flight..say maybe a 3 hour hop..ill have to kick off the avionics master and "reboot" the gtn? I've got it set to use all cpu cores..its smooth when its running but every now and then it just freezes. Havent had it happen yet with any other aircraft aside from the Lear and now the Falcon.

I've been working on a new livery for my copy of the fabulous Flysimware Falcon 50. After some trial and error I've managed to navigate the process of using GiMP to produce a DDS texture for the fuselage, and I'm very happy with the result. However, I'm still unable to figure out the bitmap file for the tail number. I've tinkered with the pixel size, tried cropping it, and have looked over the image properties of the file closely, but after numerous attempts I keep getting only a black rectangle in the cockpit. I've worked with bitmap files quite a few times and I thought generating one with the number I need would be a breeze, but there are a…

Hi Folks, If needed Avialogs has a full Falcon 50 AFM available on line... You can read online all you want for free - but if you want to download the full PDF you have to join - I've been tempted as they have manuals on a couple of aircraft I really enjoy flying such as the Carenado PC-12... For the unfamiliar - Avialogs is a canadian aviation organisation dedicated to preserve our aeronautic heritage and to build an online aviation library. You will find on this site technical documents, newspapers, books related to the various fields of the air.

Hi Folks, Just an FYI - I'm probably as big a fan of TSS sound packs as I am of Flysimware aircraft - so when Mark posted the parties couldn't reach an agreement during development - I queried Christopher (TSS) - he did state that there is indeed a TSS Falcon 50 sound pack in the works that will be available for a separate purchase for those so inclined... No ETA asked or given... All good in my book... Regards, Scott

Im not getting any click sounds on the new version that released for the switches.I have engine sounds.No apu sound either.

Hi Folks, The Bleed Air system is a bit new to me - I don't think we had anything on the Lear like it... Do you leave the Bleed Air in "auto" at all times ? On some regionals I've messed with - I think it needed to be switched "OFF" for engine starts ? When would you use the APU Bleed Air switch ? I don't have the checklists available at the moment - maybe it's addressed there... Thanks... Regards, Scott

Hi Folks, Anyone have any idea of some rough ballpark figure for the release of the Flysimware Falcon 50 - I'm truly hoping they get to market before the Carenado model - I believe Carenado is on a 60 day development cycle... Anyway - in anticipation - here's a good site with a great overview of the Falcon 50 for familiarization: http://airplanedriver.net/study/Da-50.htm Regards, Scott

Hi all: I have been working with the Falcon, downloaded Version 3.1 today, and flew KPBI-KBOS. All went well and I must comment on some great things about the Falcon from an FSX pilot perspective: 1. Great frame rates 2. Minimal VAS hit 3. A beautiful aircraft, inside and out. I am looking forward to many hours in the air with this aircraft, as I did and continue to do with the Lear 35. The Falcon fills a hole I needed for a longer range bizjet. One question I have in 3.1 is something I noticed with the TCAS. As I departed the PBI terminal area there was lots of traffic, and one aircraft close enough to trigger a TCAS alert. At that point it …

There is a disparity between the outer Mach scale on the pilot’s airspeed indicator vs. the copilot’s indicator. I am currently in level flight at FL390, showing a TAS of 433 knots with a TAT temperature of -33C. This is verified on the DALT/TAS/Winds page of the GTN 750 TAS of 433 knots at TAT of -33C equates to Mach 0.753, and that is exactly the Mach speed shown on the copilot airspeed indicator. The pilot indicator shows Mach 0.80. The indicated airspeed is exactly the same on both instruments, it is only the Mach scale which is different, with the copilot airspeed indicator being the correct one. Jim Barrett

I just installed Beta 3.0, and this aircraft just keeps getting better and better. Thanks for adding the real-time update to the gross weight counter! In general, the autopilot is working very well when selecting various mode buttons in the current beta. Heading Select works smoothly, and the aircraft rolls out on the selected heading precisely. 1/2 Bank mode works as advertised Vertical Speed likewise operates smoothly and precisely in both climbs and descents. I understand there were some pitch oscillation problems with IAS/Mach hold in the earlier betas, but at the moment it too is working very well. However There are two fundament…

Hi Folks, RE: P3Dv4 I'm having some trouble with the AP - can't get the preselect to take - Alt set on selector but button on AP won't illuminate - blows through preselected altitude... Also - unable to get NAV mode to Arm or Track when intercepting GPS course... Regards, Scott

Hi Folks, Re: P3Dv4 OK - figured out how to run the APU - then start engines 2 and 3... For some reason the "Air - Ground - Motor - Selector" for engine 1 seems spring loaded and stuck in "air" - it depresses to other positions but springs back when released... Pressing the start button on the respective engine does nothing - I'm assuming because the selector is in "air"... Thanks... Regards, Scott

Hi Is there a switch to toggle between GPS/Nav located somewhere so I don’t have to open the GTN to do this? BTW, I’m really liking this jet. Well done Flysimware. Mark

The rotating index on the airspeed indicator (that activates the fast/slow needle on the PFD) appears to stop at 250 knots. I’m pretty sure it will rotate all the way to the top of the airspeed scale on the actual instrument. Currently, the fast/slow needle works very nicely below 10,000 feet where the aircraft is limited to flying no faster than 250 knots, but at Mach 0.80 cruise at higher altitudes, the IAS will normally be higher than 250.

I've read the manual and followed the instructions, but I can't get this started at all. I cutoff my throttles, turn on the batteries and Gen switches, turn on the CMP switches select "Ready To Start" and hold down the red button for 2 seconds.........nothing....but.....silence. Can someone help me with this? Thank you, Bob

Hi Folks, Re: P3Dv4 If you select "All Systems Off" via the onscreen Falcon menu - the N2 gauges subsequently cease to work... This affects both startup and after engine is running... Regards, Scott

Hello all, Is the APU unavailable on the beta? I seem unable to start it. Is there something silly I am missing? Thanks

Hi all, Is there a readout somewhere on the panel that indicates how many degrees of pitch that correspond to the sound it makes when I use my joystick button? Thanks, Mark

Hi Folks, Looks like the FSW Store has the Falcon 50 for 50... CONGRATS Mark - on a monumental effort - on what is probably your most complex aircraft to date - looking forward to trying this out... https://www.flysimware.com/FLYSTORE_2015/en/home/40-flysimware-s-dassault-falcon-50.html Regards, Scott

Hi, I just got it, P3Dv3, I like it very much but can't make the load manager to work for now. What ever Fuel or passagers it does nothing... I am still in the learning curve and will continue to post here any issue I find if any 😉 Pascal

Hi, sorry if it is obvious for you but I did not find where it is explained and I do not want to make a mess before installing the last version... Thanks for your advise Pascal PS : I am in P3D V3

I appreciate having the heading and course select knobs available as a 2D popup. Would it be possible to add the vertical speed thumbwheel to that popup as well? It would make it easier to adjust V/S mode without having to look down at the center console. Jim Barrett

I assigned speedbrake extend/retract and TR deploy to some unused buttons on my CH throttle quadrant per the manual, and they work fine inside of the VC. But, if I am viewing the aircraft externally in spot view, the buttons have no effect. If I raise the speedbrakes and deploy the TR while in the cockpit and then go to spot view, they are visibly deployed. Aileron, rudder and elevator animations work correctly when actuating the flight controls while in spot view.

Hello All, Is anyone else missing trim clacker and APU sounds also switches and buttons in P3D 3.4? Thanks
