[MSFS] Flight FX – Honda HJet HA-420 v1.0.7

Changelog

v1.0.7:

– New features/Functionalities:

– E2 mode is added to “Sim Options”, once enabled This mode adds the following:

– Fully functional auto throttle

– Additional increased MTOW to 11,100 lbs with increased fuel capacity to 3100 Lbs (vs 2800 Lbs in classic model)

– Automatic deployment of spoilers on landing/rejected take off, The HJET will detect toe brakes actuation and deploy the spoilers until ground speed is 30kts or below then retracts it.

– FMS/MAN mode added for the Auto Throttles

– New livery HJET E2

– VNAV climb and descent is now fully implemented, and will respect user inserted constraints as well as none hard constraints as AT/ABOVE/BELOW/BETWEEN

– VNAV now Auto-loads and follows all published constraints for SID/STARS and APPORACHES

– VNAV logic rewritten with emphasis on smooth transitions from different phases of flight

– FMS Mode will control the commanded speed based on the phase of flight :Climb, Cruise, Descent, In destination terminal area, in approach and in final,

– FMS mode will also account for speed restriction of 250kts below 10,000 feet

– Enhanced GTC page: “VNAV PROFILE”: Home=>Perf=>Vnav, Pilot is able to edit the pre-defined speeds of the Vnav profile

– VNV modes now correspond to phase of flight: V FLCH, V ALT, V PATH for climb, vnav alt hold and vnav descent respectively

– When descending, VNAV Path will now add a BOD before level-offs to ensure accurate altitude capture before hand

– Misc fixes and improvements:

– Optimized resolution of VSD (3rd party Liveries should be updated to make use of this improvement)

– VR zoom and collisions are now implemented

– Accept initialization button is now function in Initialization page

– Reset initialization button is now functional in Initialization page

– Possible fix for the infamous flyback bug, where the HJET or any G3000 equipped aircraft deviates from expected path when approaches are activated

– Fixed a bug where V speeds would not auto calculate if slightly above MTOW

– Overhaul to AP pitch and roll responses for more smoothness

– reduced ballooning effect of flaps

– revised Icing parameters, to remove persistent ICE DETECTED messages and will now successfully clear windshield icing

– improved accuracy of fuel burn

– revised calculation of VS REQ and required FPA when in VNAV decent, will now give correct reading in VSD

– CSC now correctly flashes on automatic disconnection

– Approach sim variable is now linked to HJET approach modes for compatibility with external hardware that uses it

– CSC text now displayed on engine displays when CSC (Cruise speed control) mode is active

Description

Enjoy this state of the art entry into the VLJ (Very Light Jet) category for MSFS 2020. A culmination of a three year development journey by Marwan Gharib in which no detail has been overlooked.

‍Beyond the Garmin 3000 cockpit management system, users will find an array of features, improvements and personal touches that will make this aircraft impossible to step away from. With a climb out of 4,100 ft per minute, a range of over 1200 nautical miles, a cruise speed of 422 knots and landing/takeoff distances under 3,500 feet; you will soon find yourself exploring MSFS 2020 like never before.

Make this the perfect addition to your Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 light business jet collection. Whether exploring the Caribbean or cruising the Alps, the eye-catching, award winning design of the H-Jet will make this a go to staple for all of your short and medium range virtual business adventures.

Detailed Systems and Functions:

• Electrical system that reacts appropriately to different load scenarios such as requirement for load shedding, bus separation, etc

• Fuel system that reacts automatically to fuel imbalances and switches the source tanks in correct sequences as per the real counterpart

• Custom coded HVAC logic utilizing thermodynamic equations to model valve actuations, fan speeds, and background automated activities to reach user input target temperature set points

• Automated hydraulic system

• Custom built, automated anti ice system with visual icing. If in auto mode, the aircraft will automatically turn on anti icing for the needed surfaces

• Fully automated pressurization system, with manual/auto oxygen drop mask deployment in case of pressurization failure

• Functioning fire panel with audio warnings and CAS messages‍

Unique Displays and Autopilot Functionalities:

• Custom G3000 Touch Screen Controller (TSC) allowing user to control the aircraft lighting system, HVAC system, checklists, performance initialization, V-Speeds, exits, static elements, pax loading, cargo and fuel

• Coupled Vertical Navigation

• Built-in checklists

• Custom PFD/MFD/ENGINE DISPLAY faithful to the real life counterpart

• Custom PFD Crew Alert System (CAS) with over 130 unique messages as per the AFM

• CSC system (cruise speed control)

• Fully automated external lighting system handling taxi and landing situations with a TSC interface to choose between auto or manual modes

• Controllable and dimmable internal lighting system through the TSC
