Just got the F406, here is a list of bugs in MSFS 2020: Right emergency exit doesn't open (show open in EFB though) Only the right main door open, the left main have no option to open it Propellers axis are inverted (fixed in MSFS binding though, but still) In cold and dark bleed source select should be OFF not BOTH (PT-6s are never started with bleed open) Trim needed for takeoff (either empty or max gross) is WAY out AFT of the white range Trim effectiveness is very poor/slow, should be much more effective and precise Torque variation is almost non-existent when changing propeller pitch Torque variation is almost non-existent when opening/closing the inertial separators…

Hello iniBuilds team, I am a regular customer on the iniStore (I own several of your sceneries). I wanted to share some feedback on the F406 Caravan II after testing it, including the latest update. 1. Floodlight not working The floodlight (the main overhead light in the cabin) does not seem to function at all. There is no switch or control that turns it on or off. This is quite disappointing because the aircraft manual clearly mentions a floodlight, and even older add-ons like the Titan 404 have a working one. At night, this really hurts immersion and makes the cabin almost unusable in dark conditions. 2. Propeller levers too sensitive The propeller levers are extremely …

I'm finding that I can't get the F406 to go any faster than about 20 knots in MSFS 2024. When the plane loads I remove the chocks and covers, get the engines and systems started and taxi out. When starting the take off roll though, I advance the throttles to takeoff power and the plane will only do about 20 knots. The engine instruments register the correct power setting but no acceleration. This is a problem in MSFS 2024 only. Everything works fine in MSFS 2020. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

When I first engage the altitude hold on the initial climb it works great by holding the altitude. But when clicking ALT button off to climb or descend the ALT button reengages. I usually have to click on and off several times to keep it off so I can pitch up or down to change altitude . I use the TDS750 and wasn't sure if that was a factor.

Hi iniBuilds, MSFS2024: how i can setup my Joystick throttle to unse the Beta Range in 406 Caravan?

Looking for any instructions (preferably written) on how to work the autopilot on the Caravan II. All seemed to be working as expected, but it would not intercept and track a GPS course using HDG to intercept with NAV on to take over once intercepted. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Team, Apologies I already posted this in the "Suggestions" section, however not sure if that is the correct place so posting again here. Are there any plans to make the GTN650 (PMS50) in the F406 WTT compatible?

Here are some issues I've run into after my first flight: I can't find way to hide the tablet without hiding the pilot's yoke. Spray and observation controls are present on every panel version I've seen so far - including passenger and cargo. When you hit the starters, the RPM rushes to 51% and then holds there rather abruptly before you ever introduce fuel. After fuel is flowing, there’s no change. Judging by every other PT6 in this sim, I’m pretty sure that’s not realistic. If I run the PMS GTN650, the system starts out with the CDI running on Nav1 and there’s no way I can find to change that. If I change to the Asobo gauge (the tablet still says it’…

I haven't flown the F406 in a while, and I've been testing it again since the last update from the previous days. Once the engines are started and everything else is, after carefully following the checklist (including the outside walk before start), everything works, except the instrument that displays the aircraft's speed, which stays at zero. I don't know if I'm forgetting something or if it's a bug. Note: I did remove the socks from the 2 pitot tubes. Is anyone else having this problem, too? Where did you find out about this problem?

Just loaded up this bird in msfs2020 and when opening the W&B display, the CG diagram is completely smushed down almost flat and is pretty much worthless. This happening to anyone else? I haven't seen this with any other addon

I have difficulties getting the left sidepanel lights to lighten up my switches. Need to use flashlight to see the switches. I am on SU4 Beta Msfs2024. Anyone else having this problem?

The tablet is extremely dim on brightest in 2024. Have not checked this yet in 2020.

Hi all ! I was really happy to buy this little bird because I really like it ! (and price is pretty good !), and after some flights I have to admit I'm a little bit frustrated, here's why. -No documentation at all. We have absolutely no information about how to fly correctly the F406. -Check List seems incomplete? for example at startup we have to put fuel pumps on the "ON" position, nowhere in the checklit, it's asked to set it on "normal", and when. and because we have no documentation. This is just an example. -From a user's point of view it would be very nice to allowed us to use a GTN750, Iso 650 + 2x transponder + 1 nav2 + 1com2. Maybe it's like…

Hi Folks, anyone else found recently the warning light is on all the time? Any fixes if you have?

Hi, after the update to 1.0.2 the AP still do not follow GPS Track. Testet with every 650 Version. It only works with the GNS430. BR Markus

As of now, I have been unable to map vertical speed control to a physical button (MSFS 2024). This would be extremely convenient as it is pretty immersion-breaking to move down the camera and adjust the VS with the scroll wheel.

Hi all! as said in the title, the parking break is not working any more after SU3.

Hello, I was really excited for this aircraft however I am left disappointed. If I could get a refund I would! Lets hope with updates this improves. I have been a loyal ini customer for a long time, however I am starting to get really frustrated at the lack of quality control. Here is a list of issues I have found. 1. Anti Collision switch makes no sound 2. XPNDR 2 doesn't show any FL just stays as 000. 3. Comms don't connect to V Pilot. 4. Prop levers stopped responding too axis input - will test further with other aircraft incase it is my setup. 5. Autopilot Alt Button doesn't engage, just flashes 6. Attitude roll wheel does…

I noticed that turning off the inertial separator does not change torque or ITT. Is this effect supposed to be simulated?

Torque stays the same regardless of altitude (below what seems like critical altitude on turbocharged piston engine) with throttle at a fixed setting. It should decrease unless throttle is increased unlike turbocharged engines. ITT also does not change although it should

What is the reason for the second transponder (KR 87 TSO)?

With the cargo version as you add weight there some boxes that appear in the cabin which is cool and expected. However there is no cargo appearing in the lower cargo pod or the nose at all even though there are hundreds of lbs of cargo there. Can we get some more cargo where it should be? Thanks

Hello, ive noticed that my aircraft is not able to engage ALT mode and the VS nob is stuck at 1450FPM, no FD either, anyone found a fix or know if its a bug?

Hello, I've started to configure a spad.next profile for the plane and for that I'm searching for events and variables and it's not easy. For example I've not found how to switch on the master battery. Any help ? Doing that I noticed a issue with the strobe lights (anti-coll). The switch in the plane doesn't seem to do anything but when I set LIGHT STROBE variable to 1 the lights flash

Hi, thank you for the Update ! After the first flight with the F406 V1.01 2020: 1. ADF works 2. AP flies according to GPS 3. FD is missing 4. Pilots are missing Thanks, Arndt, EDDP
