Flysimware Reciprocating Aircraft

Just a note that a Garmin Trainer GTNXi update is available. If you go to the Win10 (or Win11, I assume) Start Menu and click on Garmin Aviation Trainers you will see: On the left, click on Version Manager and scroll down to GTN Xi (v20.20). I found my installed version was 20.20.10.0, and it initially said no update available. HOWEVER, after I clicked on the Check for Updates tab in the bottom right corner it then showed version 20.20.13.0 was available. So I clicked on Update and it just took a few seconds. I think this update is some kind of coding update (bug fix maybe, etc) and NOT a Nav database update. TDS recommends this update since it …

Report any Cessna 414AW Chancellor issues here... All other posts should not go on this thread.

For those who posted about having an error when installing we are sorry for that. We find this happens to only a couple of users and we are not sure on why. Most likely your are getting a 2026 which means blocked from malware... The installer needs to talk to our server so we suspect this is being blocked. Or there is a temp file getting blocked that gets added to the windows temp folder. So turn off any 3rd party malware or make and exception rule. We found malware bytes is an issue and this has been confirmed.

As the title says Are there any plans to implement the RN-1079 RNAV unit?

Hi, Today, I installed the latest version of the 414 in MSFS 2024. The installation process went without any problems, but after the installation, only the Effects Folder was installed, nothing else. When trying to reinstall, the error message appeared that the uninstall was not possible, and that was it. I searched throughout the computer but the C414 was not installed. Please advise! Thank you.

When you are in NAV mode and select HDG mode the Auto pilot starts a 500 feet min climb abruptly using TDS GTNxi, but it does settle back down. Using default livery. Thanks Scooter

Yesterday I purchased the C24R and I'm very happy with it. There is one issue however that is not 'as real as it gets', concerning the panel configurations where a Garmin G3X is coupled with a GNS or GTN unit. The G3X is coupled to the main bus, while the GNS or GTN is coupled to the avionics bus. However, when powering up the G3X it shows COMM data instantly, which is not correct. The COMM data on the G3X should appear after you have powered up the GNS or GTN, because only then the G3X will receive data. Is this something you would consider to correct in a future update?

Has anyone created a .mcc Mobiflight file for the GNS530 version yet? I try using the default .mcc for the 172 but does not seem to work.

Just purchased this beautiful aircraft but, for some reason, I can't seem to get the gps to follow the flight plan. It does not matter with model gps I have. My procedure is to hit the nav button once the gns has been set to gps. Of course, the AP button is on. What I am missing?

So I put the Sierra into MSFS2024, and I'd like to report that it generally seemed to work ok, in my limited time flying it. The issues I did see were: 1. the displays on the G5 instruments (G5 variant) seem to flicker 2. pilot/co-pilot avatars aren't there 3. another user reported that some of the tablet functions aren't working, but I didn't test that Anyway, the Sierra is looking really good otherwise. I'll fly it some more (maybe at night, and with different cockpits (GPS variants) other than the G5) and see how it goes.

Hi All, A few times during a flight, I find that the cockpit switches do not operate. However if I go to the outside aircraft view and then go back to cockpit view, the switches start working again. Sometimes I need to do this a couple of times before the switches start working again. I am wondering if it is because I am running on a 1080 graphics card which is maxed out using MSFS. However I have not had this issue with any other aircraft. Is the Cessna 414 particularly demanding in anyway. Just a thought. Any comments appreciated.

Hi everyone, I just downloaded the Cessna 414 from the msfs marketplace. Installed ok, but I am unable to open the EFB. I am using the correct click spot, and tried to find any conflicting mods but to no avail. A reinstall of the aircraft made no difference. If anyone else has experienced the same issue, I would be grateful for any solutions. Thanks

I finished a couple of flights and I wanted to say I really like it. The expansion joins creaking after shutdown is a really nice touch. I have most of fsw's aircraft and this is my favorite by far. Thanks, FSW

Hi, how do I turn on the payware PMS50? I launched MSFS, selected the runway at an airport and the plane, the avionics toggle switch is switched up but I'm not getting anything on the avionics screen. Thank you.

Sorry, lads, I can't find the config file no matter where I look (in all the normal places). Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Love the plane, but the loading of the plane is incredibly frustrating. Seems the tablet is the only way to configure weights, and their selections are fictitious to say the least. Is there a way we can edit the tablet weights?.. And for that matter it would be nice if the tablet would allow the user to set the weights, as opposed to per-selected numbers.

Brand new to the C414. Step 1 to launch the EFB but no luck to launch the EFB to the side window mount. After reading several two year old posts with similar problems, nothing has worked. It worked yesterday but not today with no changes having been made. I have clicked all over the left pilot triangle window; have clicked the upped left portion of the EFB as described in the manual; have tried the upper small circle on the EFB; have tried different aircraft liveries and reloaded aircraft and re-booted PC. The next step is to delete the entire aircraft and re-install. This is not as good start spending more than one hour to launch the EFB.

I think I see a picture of a weather radar on the panel in the manual but I don't know if it is functional. Thank you.

FLYSIMWARE Installation Instructions for v4.4.5 The instructions need to be updated. Currently mentions 16 liveries. However, there are now 42 liveries. And the +WT has been removed from the PMS50 .

When in VR (Quest 2) and you grab the yoke using the VR controllers the yoke overreacts where any slight movement will cause the yoke to deflect 100% in either direction to left/right. As far as the fore/aft movement is concerned, it is under reacting and moves much too little. Can this be fixed?...and I was wondering if the Lear has this same issue in VR?

When choosing a livery I'm confronted with these options.........What's the difference? What is the "WT" part?

Hi everybody, first of all: I really like the 414 🙂 But I have strange visual effects in my Sim with this Aircraft. I've bought the 414 via the MS Marketplace. It shows me a version 4.4.1 from May29 2023. When I start using the 414 I have always small green lines winding around the Aircraft. It looks like a visualisation for airstreams or so. This is espacially around the engines and covers the whole plane. It changes with speed and direction of wind on the ground. The 414 is the only aircraft with this effect other bought aircrafts like the Milviz310 doesn't have this behavior. Developer mode is off - not active. But changes nothing if activated. Un…

Hi, I have recently purchased the Cessna 414 and its great but I'm having issues with it pulling left no matter the engine power settings and even with the right engine off it still pulls left (nose gear and rudder centred). The left brake isn't on either. Sometimes its fine on initial load up and then it occurs, other times it happens straight away. I'm lost on how to fix this.

After mixture is cut during shutdown the props continue to spin continuously even though the plane is cold and dark. Has anyone experienced this or knows how to fix it?
