You're welcome :)

I tried the vertigo once, and then deleted it.

It really depends on light too - in some situations you can't see the reflections at all.

The notes on all my videos list the hardware at the end.

Did you engage the hydraulics ?

Same thing happens to me with the Red livery. Not sure why. Also had it this morning with the Grey livery the first flight with the simulator this morning. Should report that to Orbx.

I've had the same issues, emailed MSFS a week ago and haven't heard back from them. From now on, I'm buying my planes directly from the creators if possible.

It's the master battery switch. Make sure it's in the normal operation setting

It reminds me a lot of the Sting S4.

@@jonbeckett hey mate in your humble opinion which plane should i buy, the Sting 4 or Blackwing. thanks for fantastic videos

I haven't found any documentation yet - there's nothing included in the aircraft folder.

@@jonbeckett I'm looking at it on the orbx website because your video makes me think I might be interested after all, the user manual is at the bottom of the product page. Seems quite comprehensive for sim purposes, and fwiw the landing checklist includes Fuel Pump: BOTH (up position). It also says that aerobatics are prohibited along with FIKI and IFR (it's a sim, bring it on!) but doesn't say what ESP is.

It really does :)

Cheers! :)

The freezes are something to do with USB - I'm almost certain of it. Without changing the motherboard out entirely, I'll never probably know.

I have no scenery download cache :)

It's really good!

@@jonbeckett Now i have had time to try her out , i have to say my only criticism would be that it still seems to run away on Taxi on idle . Im no pilot but i doubt that would be realistic . Other than that she is fantastic , Fast , Strong , yet almost a STOL aircraft . For it's type a very nice addon and for Black wings well done . To the real manufacturer and Black wings on MSFS 2020 , maybe and just my thoughts but some air brakes might not go a miss . That would make her more agile in all manoeuvres as she is a slick and aerodynamic bird . Might help in stopping over speed , in sim and maybe in real life .

Yep - a lot of people are frustrated with the G3X.

I think the sim corrected some issues with the autopilots that third party aircraft had worked around - so caused them to go wrong. I could of course be wrong about that.

Would love to see the liveries when they are done!

All of these planes are similar, aren't they :)

I thought the entire arrangement with the switches was odd - having two positions - but I've not been able to find any decent documentation for it yet.

Yes, showing green lights for switches in the off position is somewhat counterintuitive...

WT have previously stated they have no plans to work on the G3X so I wouldn't hold out much hope. It would be good though, many planes in this genre use it.

Not tried it - it might be a bug ?

Lol - are rotax engines that unreliable then? :)

You're welcome :)

You get several with it - they are all very nice.

There are a lot of very similar aircraft around - the Sting S4, the VL3, and this...

Well your opinion is the one to go to then - are you able to record MSFS and share it on KZfaq - would be good to hear your thoughts?

@@jonbeckett I have never made and publisged a video for the dim, maybe in the future.... the biggest problem with Rotax is the overheating in sommer, radiators in this type of aircrafts are never big and efficient enough. Pay atfention kn landing, you have to respect with precision the landing speed or they float and float all along the runway. Our MCR sportster is trick on landing, fly too slow and he will drop a wing easyly and brutally . For the rest is a joy to fly, you need very little inputs. Just the opposite of Pipers and Cessnas that I consider (very safe) flying briks. Here in EU the US made aircdafts are disappearing. Too high manteinance and fuel costs. All are buying aircrafts like this with Rotax engines, even flying schools.

@@antonioiozzi291 Brilliant feedback - thank you!

It crashed a few times and then straightened out. I love the plane,

You're not the first person to say that.

Yes. It might not happen for a couple of days though - real life is going to get in the way this time.

I wonder how difficult sounds are in the sim though? I know Aerosoft had huge problems getting good sounds for the Twin Otter - and suffered the wrath of the community as a result.

@@jonbeckett it probably is difficult, but Blackbird/Milviz, Black Box, DC, Flying Iron and JustFlight all have amazing sounds. Not all of them are expensive either. SimAccoustics did a lot of those so maybe they're the go-to people. (The P.149, PC-21 and Taifun have really good sounds too.)

@@jonbeckett It seems Aerosoft also had huge problems (along with the main dev of the aircraft) to produce decent sounds for their Searey. I was foolish enough to buy it because it was on sale on the marketplace, and also because I kind of trusted Aerosoft, but this thing is a mess, and the sound is nothing but horrible: a 1 second loop that just changes in pitch. So, I don't know how difficult it is to produce good sounds, but there are people and companies that simply don't care, itseems.

I'll have a look over the weekend. I need to go fly this again :)

Yep - that being said, prop animations are probably quite difficult to get right. It's all smoke and mirrors...

Me either :)

That's what I thought too.

I've wondered that too - it already does specular reflection. I imagine if they start doing ray tracing, it will improve again. I suppose the real problem is to close the final few % of realism, requires 1000% more effort/grunt/horsepower.

@@jonbeckett realism i think it's not have to be their concern... if they create good enough environment and sdk for eyes candy stuff, aircraft developers can works with constant standards as was in fsx/p3d with a2a guys

I think this is the default G3X that comes with the sim. I'm not aware that Working Title have done anything with the G3X ?

@@jonbeckett I admit I'm not really familiar with all the different Garmins. Didn't know there was another one. I only knew about the smaller GNS versions and the G1000/3000/5000. This is yet another different version then, it seems.

I think I read somewhere that there's an update to the G3X coming in the near future from Working Title - I may have imagined it though :)

Working title has stated in the past that they don't intend on working on the G3X. I believe they tried to and ultimately abandoned it. I am not 100% in this as it is just what I have heard. The G3X is only really good for vfr in my opinion.

@@PixieGirl101 I do remember the same. I asked them on their Discord and confirmed they have no intention enhancing the G3X. So unless Asobo do something, this unit will be filth as it currently is.

@@sol3cito33 I fear it will get worse after some update to the simulator in the future. I will probably avoid this product as a result. It already has led to AP issues

@@PixieGirl101 I am on the same opinion. I avoided many, otherwise excellent products such as SFS's RV products, due to the fact they all feature this bugged suite. Which is a shame really.

It's very good :)

Hah - cheers :)

No idea.

Cheers :)
