You do not need to turn on the start pump if you already have AC power on the A/C. The start pump is a DC pump from the battery to start the APU when there is no power on the plane yet (cold start). If AC power is already on via any source, the main fuel pump will work so no need of the DC pump (start pump).

20:32 I have that same issue with the flight director, it wants me to go down, and if I activate the AP it makes the plane fall like a rock, I have to wait until later for it to go up and be able to engage t he AP, I don't know if it is a feature or a bug

[@Byemoonmen]

I'm not sure either but I'd guess it's something I did, something normal

[@StephaneSOUBIRAN]

Thank you

[@forthydollars]

You probably gonna cover this in the next tutorial video but I need your help with something, i set the trim wheel like you said for take off matching the green sticker in there, but once i reach cruising altitude the airplane is stable in the selected altitude but with the nose a bit up, by now the green sticker is not matching the other part anymore, moved by itself, if I try to trim the nose down with that big wheel the airplane just starts diving like crazy, not sure what I'm doing wrong, maybe I move the trim wheel to much that the nose goes down way to much? Maybe I was carrying to much weight for a 250knts speed ? Any idea?

[@Byemoonmen]

You're not supposed to trim it like that during cruise, just let the AP fly it, or trim it for stable flight yourself if you're hand flying. The green marker is the trim for takeoff only. In summary, set the trim for takeoff, takeoff, forget about the trim marker, trim it manually for the pitch you want, let the autopilot fly it. Let me know how it goes.

@@Byemoonmen sounds good thank you!!!

[@Hughes2405]

How can I remove the wheel chocks on this aircraft? I can't find anything in the manuals. thx :)

[@Byemoonmen]

If I remember correctly, they disappear automatically when you start your engines

[@zk9058]

Turning the beacon light on automatically removes the chocks.

[@Rage-td9wv]

I have a question. There is an update that came out. It says uninstall the previous version first. Do I do that from the Control Panel?

[@Byemoonmen]

Yes, I assume so, and then you install it just like the first time.

How do i know when to use wing anti-ice when ice cant form on windheild wipers

[@Byemoonmen]

You use wing anti-ice when the RAT/TAT temperature is below 10C and there's visible moisture

[@barry4666]

How do you stop the dial up modem sound when the auto throttle is at set speed it’s super annoying and making me not want to fly the mad dog

[@Byemoonmen]

Isn't that the trim wheel?

[@barry4666]

@@Byemoonmen no the one that sounds continuously when autothrottle speed is met its pretty quiet but still annoying i assume its a audial cue in the real plane to let the pilot know speed isnt increasing or decreasing

[@Byemoonmen]

I don't think you can turn that off but I could be wrong

[@Jake-mn1qc]

Your startup contradicts similar videos, I get the impression that you don't quite know what you're doing.

[@kwisatzhaderach9091]

Hello friend. Do you know why my Maddog looks like the Shuttle Columbia and starts to lift before v1 by himself? I have trimmed the plane as you did

[@Byemoonmen]

Are you on the latest version? What are the winds like?
