Something VERY odd going on with nose-wheel steering - which is very odd, because the real aircraft doesn't have nosewheel steering at all (the nosewheel castors - you control direction with differential braking).
I bet thats because not everyone has pedals?
@@RobisonRacing68 I think they simplified it for some aircraft - as you say - not everyone has pedals.
THANK YOU! I had the exact same odd nosewheel behavior on landing as well. I thought it was me ... Asoboooo, you've got some splainin' to do! Don't think they'll do a hot fix for such a minor bug, but the next update needs to address it.
Yeah, and next SU will bring soft body simulation, which will make everything vibrate and behave in all kinds of weird ways.
@@AdamVonSzabo erm - MSFS has had soft body simulation for ages ?!
Another GREAT flight Jonathan. The Northern California swing continues. My daughter and I used to ride our horses in between Willits and Ft Bragg. Good to see all the redwoods again. Thanks! !! !!!
And I will give the flight in the plane later today. Brings back many memories.
How have I only just found this channel, love these videos Jonathan. Keep them up
Nice second landing. You're right as it falls out of the sky when throttle cut. You missed a weight and fuel screen after the engine screen. Keep an eye on the Fflow GPH green marker. Use your mixture to keep the pointer centered. You then have correct mixture. The elevator trim below left yoke is set at takeoff but never moves despite adjustments in trim. I hope they fix that. The customized G1000 is very nice and informative. It let me know my takeoff flaps were not set, warns of tailwind when landing with wind behind you and alerts explain problems very nicely.
At startup after both bat switches are on, you open the mixture and open the throttle. Then hold down the PRIME switch until you see about 4.5GPH or about 2 seconds. Then switch to boost position, the pull throttle back to about 1/4" and then turn the key.
I'm glad to see the keyboard on the centre console is working and can be used for flightplan imputs, hopefully the likes of the Cockspur Mustangg will get that working.
I wonder if the increased functionality of the G1000 we're seeing here will form the basis of a future AAU update for all G1000 equipped aircraft?
I’m using MSFS through Xbox. No issues with taxiing. Small housekeeping advice - anytime you decide to hand fly, and you’re not going to keep up with vertical and lateral FD modes, turn the FD off, usually at the same time as turning the AP off. It keeps you screens less confusing. Overall, a pretty nice update from ASOBO. By the way, you commented that it would be nice if ASOBO included the small details like rotation and climb speeds. They did - it is located on the very comprehensive electronic checklist including power settings, cruise climb, etc.
I couldn’t get the anti icing to work, so either I didn’t fill it, or it’s still offline. I flew it into considerable icing and its performance didn’t really suffer like it should.
1:57 The purpose of moving the throttle is to allow more fuel to flow into the engine. This plane is fuel injected so having the throttle and mixture full forward will allow a larger quantity of fuel to enter the engine.
With this update decided to purchase the Borris soundset to compliment this!!
Yes i have noticed this aswell, even a few months ago i was flying the pa28 in the sim and it yanks to the left on takeoff, so much so its off the runway in seconds. As a student pilot who fly's the pa28 in real life taking off and landing (assuming conditions are fairly normal) only requires a very small amount of correction with rudder. In the sim im having to push it fully to the right just so I don't veer off the runway😂. I hope its fixed!
I've been really looking forward to this only so that I can use those wonderful Boris FX sounds on a decent plane. I assume those work with the updated version? Thanks for the review, per usual. Always great.
That's interesting. I saw the same thing happen with another creator in another aircraft. The person involved in the development side of the aircraft happened to be sitting in and tried to explain it as being due "ground physics model vs. air physics model" meaning that at low speed the ground model is active and at high speed the air model is active. Seems to me that it could just as easily be a bug as well though.
I just flew this aircraft for the first time. The throttle is very sensitive, but the ground steering was not to bad for me. I am using a Thrustmaster 6000. I have rudder pedals but I don't use them.
I’ve been flying the SR22 on XboxX and yes the rubber is very sensitive on the ground using the V1FY so I’ve turned the rudder sensitivity down and the SR22 lands ok. I have no rudder pedals so I use the triggers for steering and the bumpers for braking and land ok with not many issues. 😜👍
Good video and I like this Cirrus SR22 but after the update the propeller vibrates a lot and they made the airplane very close to the ground and seems to sink or looks very low to the ground
It happened to me as well when flying the C207. No positive control on ground.
This is definitely a needed improvement. This is great aircraft for GA pilotedge atc, because it is faster than 172sp and PE certs are mainly for GA aircraft.
Highlights:
There is a great 2 panel for Air Manager users. I rarely use mouse or keyboard.
Flies better than previous. Waaay too much rudder authority on ground. I use TM TPR pedals.
A G1000 with keypad!!! You will find it hard to go back to "twisting" thru alphabet. Works great in AM touchscreen panel with knobster.
Issues:
The trim location can't be seen from cockpit. If you use air manager then use generic instrument 172 trim wheel on a touchscreen as a hack. This gives trim location for Takeoff etc. Or use external view with hud. (Hastle).
The thrust levers at altitude don't seem to have proper sound. They just remain at high rpm sound even when levers to idle etc. Really bad in Drone view. I will get Boris sound and report back. Update...I just purchased for $12. No change. Waste of money. No change in sound with power settings is a deal breaker for me.
I have flown sr22 hotstart in xp for years. The castor wheel type steering is rather strange compared to xp sr22. Probably not implemented properly in msfs.
Not even close to "study" level Hotstart in XP, altho g1000 nxi is better.
This is a popular must have aircraft for irl pilots and those in training. Not affiliated.
This feels like Version 1, or maybe less. Too bad. The flight model makes this aircraft really squirrely. No inertia. Too responsive.
I've been flying several hours by SR22 after update, haven't noticed any odd behavior during landings. Could it be possible that your stick-rudder has something wrong?
Have you never had a car with a manual choke, pumping the accelerator to feed fuel to the engine before start?
Thanks for saving a lot of people a lot of time figuring all this out. So many different avionics--too bad there's not more commonality! Too bad MSFS doesn't allow air-filing IFR flr plns (2024?) but if you're going VFR, you need to be at odd 1,000s +500, so 5,500 in this case. The SR22 is very well done--it's impressive how good some of the Asobo a/c are--about "as real as it gets" (remember when MS used that tagline?)--pretty immersive for a desktop sim (especially with the Eye Tracker). Yeah--the one thing that bugs me about the SR20/22 is the castering nosewheel--I hate those IRL and in FS. Rudder pedals help, but it can still be tricky! You can change it to a steerable nosewheel--I forgot where I found out how but it was easy to do and doesn't fundamentally change things if you still use differential braking.
Nice video, how about adding the Ghost bubble from Tobii, it would help see what you are looking at while flying
I think it's pretty distracting.
Can you tell us a little about head tracking? How it works? What hardware you are using?
I'm using the Tobii Eye Tracker. I'll do a "long term test" video about it :)
great video..landing speed is like 80knots
What settings are you using for the Tobii eye tracker?
Just the stock settings.
At 9:50 notice no change in engine sounds when pulling power back.
How do you know if trim is set to takeoff?
I usually go by feel for take-off then trim once in the air - which I know is wrong :)
@@jonbeckett Thanks for quality vdeos! If you use Air Manager, there is a very good panel for SR22T and then use a generic trim instrument. This gives one a visual on trim location, rather than use exterior cam and hud. Using drone cam, activate controls, you can see nose wheel does not turn with differential braking, as it should. The constant engine rpm in cruise, even with power idle, is a bit of deal breaker. Thanks keep up good work
I sometime, could you show us how you go about trimming your planes when you fly them without autopilot?
Umm... you just trim them... lol
Not seen anything like that during the Beta, using Velocity One Flightstick or Yoke and no rudder pedals. Maybe your controller rudder sensitivity needs adjusting
It's odd. I think it's a sim update 14 thing.
My engine information dosent display on the PFD when i turn the battery on. Anyone know how to fix this?
Have you already turned on the avionics power? (which powers up the second screen?) - if you have, the engine info switches to the navigation screen automatically.
@@jonbeckett Thanks for the reply. Yes i understand when i turn on the AVIONICS the enginge paramaters witll display on the MFD. I cant get them to display on the PFD with the avionics swich off. I have watched lots of startup videos and it seems to be automatic for everyone else...Mine dont show.
That fast taxi bothers me. I've never flown a real airplane that starts moving at idle.
Throttle calibration issue …
Anyone else not able to switch liveries on the sr22 after the update?
Not tried it.
There are liveries for the new version on flightsim to.
@RobisonRacing68 so any liveries bought before the update are no good now? 😕 I got them right before the update lol. Only a dollar, and it had some liveries for the da62 and a beechcraft baron, but still.
@@theremedy8445 Yeah, I'm afraid so. None of mine did. :(
Happens to me I don't like the plane , in my book its only 2 stars plane
