Nice one mate!! edit: I misunderstood sorry

When starting from cold and dark, after having pushed the starter button, before the Repro: With external power=ON, ship battery=OFF, place HP lever=ON, Starter Master=ON, now click the push start button until approx 1000RPM (or until the engine sequence no longer requires you to hold the button). The button now cycles in and out rapidly while playing the animation sound. It's an unfortunate bug.

Hi Was the YS-11 patched recently? I ask because it's acting very strangely. With my power/throttle at 100% I get the ordinary full RPM. But if I reduce power to 50%, the RPM shoots up to 20.000 which is way too high. What on earth happened here?

Very true! I hope the people who contributed to it feel proud, even if the overall project suffers from what were some pretty poor executive decisions. The artistry feels very good here, even if the underlying systems have not received any due focus. I'm sure even better attention to the Dart's sounds would also have been given, if there were sufficient resources. At least I hope so. Unfortunately I feel like... we never hear from the devs? I'd quite like to thank a few of them for this plane, which has promise in buckets.

How might I go about changing the FOV for the default cockpit camera? The current one doesn't suit me and takes in too much of the cockpit. 🙂

Hear hear

Starting from 10.000 ft, diving to achieve 200 kt ias, and pulling up to try to stall the plane, there's evidently no stall possible in this aircraft. It just goes for a loop (if you let it), otherwise holding straight ahead, it'll lose speed until 20-40 kt ias and begin to drop straight down.

I put the airplane at 14200 rpm and into a climb that never ends. This plane exhibits the same behaviour at FL180 as it does at FL290. I think it should at least stall a bit..?

Reducing the throttle from 10% to 9% ends in higher RPM than it started at, and vice versa. I was wondering if this is a way to kickstart the plane during ground movement; if overcoming the inertia was so hard to deal with that the devs assigned an extra bout of thrust to help get the airplane rolling. And that, weirdly, it happens during -all- transitions between 9 and 10, not simply those meant to increase thrust.

I don't suppose this was done intentionally? The ADF2 radio knob is in the on position "ADF" by default when starting cold and dark.

There is a not too pretty greenish light in the cockpit which seems set to a timer, which makes the entire cockpit 'pop' with new light. It's an immersion breaker, and not a critical issue. It acts like a certain time or certain amount of sunlight will turn the effect off. I propose that instead of having a discrete on-off for this light effect, inibuilds programs it to better follow some sort of gradient or curve.

There is a bug whereby weather effects will come inside the cockpit. Video example. To reproduce this, simply spawn the aircraft and either have live weather snow, or use a preset for snowy weather. You don't need to do anything in the aircraft.

I submit to this thread that the Spill Valve and the Ground Cooling Fans are mislabelled (FS2020). And I think the performance issue is... weird. The aircraft climbs at 150 IAS until FL330, which is when it finally stalls out (at MTOW). It's as if someone took a look-up-table where this thing flies to FL220, then took the performance at Sea Level and just copied it for 10.000 feet, moving the old values even higher up. If that makes sense? This thing acts at 20.000 like it should at 10.000, or even like it should at 18.000.

Now I don't want to go and sound entitled, but this really would bring the aircraft's standard up. How many youtubers don't you see incorporating these open-door photos to help sell the reaslism? And it is strictly speaking impossible to do so without embarassing the makers. Because it DOES embarass artists who've really put work into this YS-11. Which I don't put that way to sound like an asshole, but to convey some sympathy with professionals whose creative projects I too should like to gleam and give them satisfaction, as the end product does to me.

Hi there! I think there's an easy bug to fix; some low-hanging fruit; something that should only take a minute or two to fix for the artist in charge 😄 In the YS-11's cockpit, on the lower right panel by the FO, an annunciator light row sits next to four switches. I think they have been mislabelled. As you might begin to suspect, when you see there is a RESET button for the cooling fans. Whoever heard of resetting a fan? A valve, on the other hand... To be specific, LH and RH cooling fan switches are labelled MANUAL/AUTO. Whereas the Spill Valve switch is ON or OFF. It should be the other way around; it's not the on/off that's wrong, it's the "Cooling fan" and "spill valve". This goes for the associated warning lights as well -- one says "Spill Valve" (it is the Ground Cooling Fan light). It should say "Cooling fan". You get the picture (png). I think the servicing manual we have access to makes clear that the cockpit writing is off on this one (p. 909 onwards). The Spill Valve switch in the manual position is responsible, as you see on p.910 and plainly on 919, for moving a spill line to "open"; but there are TWO entries for air into the spill lines, one from each engine, so there're caution lights in the cockpit to suggest which valve is spilling its air. (Another clue is that the cooling fans, which irl there -are- two of, are not left and right; but front and aft.) Aside from this little critical mention - and many others come to think of it - regardless I very much enjoy what you put together with this aircraft!! I think there is a really, really outstanding artistic performance here which is WORTHY of there being flight systems of higher quality!
