Presenting successful ground test of Jetstream at commuter service passenger gate apron of KSAN San Diego international airport
Going to have a testing fight on that plane along California coastline with hopes it goes smoothly!!!
I also successfully installed GPS into that model without problem but unfortunately when I installed my own version of autopilot panel, it made the plane's flaps keep flapping all the time. Darn there goes my autopilot panel with specific altitude numbers, heading numbers, and climb/descent rate number!!
QUICK QUESTION: it has AWESOME night lights such as wings' head lights that are unbelievably most realistic and beacons but I am wondering if this model is supposed to have passenger window night light???? I have no no no problem with complete knowledge that it is beta model and we should get it as it is but I just want to make sure whether it is supposed to have passenger window night light or not. If it is, then it means I must have installed wrong way and I must correct whatever I did wrong.
I also note that when I load this model into FSX, the throttle is set at 25 percent instead of zero percent. Is it correct or wrong?
I've not checked the cabin lighting so can't comment. I'll take a look to see if it's the same here. I'm pretty sure that FSX has problems separating VC lighting (flightdeck and cabin) as I brought this problem up with Mike when testing the Argonaut. You can either have flightdeck or cabin.
Re the throttles.. I think you'll find that 25% is the requirement for ground idle. It's in the manual/readme

Re the throttles.. 25% is correct for ground idle. However, when I select the Jetstream (200 model in this case) with engines running having started in the default Cessna.. my throttles were at 1%. Note.. they always start at 1% not 0 for me

Thanks for answers letting me know that 25 percent is correct for throttle and that there is no passenger window night lights.
Now I have to work to get awesome Jetstream plane accept radio stack panel window from FSX default Beech King Air 350 without seeing Jetstream plane's wings flapping their flaps. If I cannot figure out, then I will have to use Jetstream's AP panel window.
I can't help you with your alternate AP I'm afraid. The one fitted is authentic to the type and functional though I understand it isn't as programmable as you'd like. Good luck with the conversion and be sure to post your findings should another user wish to do the same

Thanks for cool link that gives me valuable information but one thing out of that link that baffles me and makes me wonder if it is typo typing error??
Look at their fact:
Range with allowances, max. fuel, 1000 lb payload at 217 kt. at 30,000 ft, 1910 nm
Range with allowances, max. payload 18 passengers, at 265 kt. at 15,000 ft, 220 nm
220 nautical mile range for passenger service is correct or typo? I thought it would be 1,100 nmiles??? Please clarify??

No that is correct, cant take a full cabin of passengers and full fuel.
