Maybe you already know this, but to turn on synthetic vision, and taws on the pfd you can click the grey button on the outboard of each pfd or the correspondent button on the bezel

[@thatflightsimchannel]

Thank you for the tip! I was actually completely missing it during my initial start ups.

[@sblopez9617]

I had a couple of Moose on the runway while trying to land in Eagle County and was forced to go around :)

[@thatflightsimchannel]

Gotta love the wild life in the sim!

[@mannyrivera6990]

VT - threshold crossing speed; target speed (after V2 has been reached)

[@thatflightsimchannel]

Correct! I edited the video and included a caption when I go over Vspeeds but thank you for the clarification.

[@flyhigher_tony]

oh.. bear...... :)

[@justanotherday1345]

What Big Bear Scenery is that? Thanks for the Vid. Just now starting my training this aircraft

[@thatflightsimchannel]

Scenery by UK2000. Glad you're starting up with the PC-24. And trust me, we've still got plenty more to explore and learn on the PC-24.

[@olegrezkii]

You're lucky) My PC24 is broken and does not work...the buttons are not pressed, the backlight of the buttons is constantly on at maximum brightness, so everything lights up. The ores don't work either and the chassis won't retract.

[@thatflightsimchannel]

A few weeks back, that was my experience with the PC24. Dumb question, have you been prompted to update FS2024 recently? Whatever update came about a week or 2 ago fixed that issue for me

[@aviaticguy-2024]

Sounds like I am not the only one with problems. Every time I put the throttle back to Zero percent my engines turn of. And when I extend the speed brakes nothing happens in the cockpit only outside do the speed brakes extend. But when I set the speed brake manually it shows me that they are on half or full extended.

[@thatflightsimchannel]

@ I noticed the same! It really is a bit frustrating and it dampers the immersion. Let’s hope Asobo get their stuff straight and fix these bugs.

[@olegrezkii]

@@thatflightsimchannel Yeah, so I'm waiting)) I do cinematics on my channel and I need it for my ideas)

[@aviaticguy-2024]

I think it I found why it shuts down. So on my Velocity yoke i have the 2 middle throttle sticks as throttle and the right one is also set with the mixture axel but i dont know where to delete it.😡🤬 Do you know where i can find the setting for that?

[@billB101]

Nice thanks. I thought the PC24 had reverse thrust?

[@thatflightsimchannel]

@@billB101 the Williams FJ44 engines used by the PC24 did not come with reverse thrust primarily due to Pilatus wanting to save weight. It’s common for these light jets not to come equipped with reverse thrust as most of them (Phenom/Citation/Pilatus) have great short field performance and are able to land and slow down without the need for reverse.

[@billB101]

@@thatflightsimchannel Thanks. It's the PC12 that has the reverse, I was using it in career today,

[@thatflightsimchannel]

@ correct! The PT6 engine found in most turbo props today has a strong reverse. Stay tuned, we’re about to release a basic tutorial on the PC-12, followed by a more in-depth look at systems and avionics 😉

[@bluelights85]

My PC24 in the sim has engine 2 throttle stuck fully open, which means it's unflyable. Ive checked all settings and controller mapping to no avail. So frustrating!

[@thatflightsimchannel]

It sucks to hear about these issues within the community. We’re experiencing bugs with the autopilot which is making us hesitant to produce tutorials on autopilot and flight planning features. Looks like Asobo have some patching to do on the PC-24

[@trainsplanesandautomobiles2547]

The only problem I have with the PC24 is that it burns an ungodly amount of fuel, like close to 20% on climb. No matter how low my throttle and v/s are. Is this normal? It takes forever to climb while burning so much fuel. The CJ4 and C700 and Hondajet and LJ35 and all other pjs dont have this problem. Could you help me out with this one?

[@thatflightsimchannel]

I've only flown a couple of flights with the PC-24 and have not been able to compare its fuel burn to the likes of the other aircraft you mentioned. Given that this particular PC-24 is by Carenado, I would not assume this is correct. However, it seems like this will be what we're going to be dealing with moving forward. I'd suggest verifying your weight and balance, perhaps reducing your rate of climb via VSPEED, or trying the same climb out with different configurations (empty/full/half full) and compare your results.

[@Steve-PT]

Another useful video thanks. I never noticed the speed brakes had two positions for armed and disarmed. I was interested in why there were so many checklist items after starting the right engine and before starting the left engine. I discovered that in real life the PC24 has something called Quiet Power Mode or QPM. The right engine starts but only runs at 75% of idle power so it basically acts as an APU for airports without GPUs. So you start the right engine, do all your settings without too much use of fuel, then start the left engine. It does not appear to be implemented in the plane but I guess it is in the checklist. I have similar problems with the plane floating when landing. I noticed my trim up was very high after landing. In fact it is in the red and looks more like a space rocket 😂 I wonder if you have to trim down before landing as it seems to me the excessive trim is what is causing the float. It is only a guess though. Thanks for an informative video yet again, great work.

[@thatflightsimchannel]

I actually just learned about the QPM on the right engine last week and I never knew that. When I worked as a ramp agent we always used GPUs on PC24s so I never got to see them do that. But you’re right, it makes sense as to why we start the right engine first. For the floating issue it seems to be more airspeed related. I need to do several touch and goes on this jet and see if there’s consistent floating even at slower speeds. Thanks for the feedback as always and we appreciate the support!

[@Steve-PT]

@@thatflightsimchannel I tried a slower airspeed this afternoon but got into a stall very quickly. I believe that the right landing speed is about 115-120kts. Going to try that tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.

[@topofthegreen]

I can’t even find this aircraft anywhere

[@thatflightsimchannel]

Unfortunately this is included with the Premium Deluxe version only

[@joealex04041]

Could you please let me know where I can download the aircraft

[@thatflightsimchannel]

@@joealex04041 you’ll need to have the Premium Deluxe edition of MSFS2024 to have the PC-24.

[@SoulShark1]

hello, you know how to unlock the front gear after landing ? impossible to turn. i dont find where unstuck it. tkanks.

[@thatflightsimchannel]

@@SoulShark1 verify your control bindings to make sure your rudder is properly bound to your rudder pedals or the twist on your joystick. It seems like maybe the bindings might’ve changed on you because I’ve never had the nose gear be unresponsive. Hope this helps

[@SoulShark1]

@@thatflightsimchannel it's not that, because before take off it's ok, during taxi and line up (the rudder is on my josytick twist). it's only the landing phase , the gear stay stuck straight, i think it's a security mode on the plane.

[@EpicIntensix]

​@@SoulShark1 Hey mate ✌️ I have the same Problem, do you already solved it?

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIOIU]

I dont have this plane on my simulator :"(

[@thatflightsimchannel]

Sorry to hear that. Although the PC-24 is a fun plane and looks great, I don't think you're missing out on too much. We have to give time to Asobo/Carenado to see if they develop this plane even more and implement more systems simulations. Otherwsie, consider upgrading to the Premium Deluxe in the future to access even more aircraft.

[@Bryan-ty8wq]

Do you know how to set the altimeter to STD? The button says Inoperable for me

[@thatflightsimchannel]

If you are flying above 18K feet and you want to change to STD, I usually just press the "B" key on the keyboard, and it automatically changes the Baro to STD. let me know if that helps!

[@Bryan-ty8wq]

@@thatflightsimchannel Thanks for the help. Most planes I have flown the knob works when you push it to go to STD.

[@thatflightsimchannel]

@@Bryan-ty8wq forgot to mention the “B” key only works if you’ve got the MSFS2020 keyboard commands for your Keyboard controller assignments. The default FS2024 key bindings are not the greatest (in our opinion)

[@Bryan-ty8wq]

@@thatflightsimchannel Yea I completely agree with you on the 2024 key binds smh.

[@aviaticguy-2024]

Hello first of all thank you for that video. So I have a question. Every time I start the engines, just a fast start not the professional way. So when I do that, every time my throttle is on 0% thrust, the engines shut down again. But when I start up and put throttle over zero percent then the engines work, but again when I go to zero percent they shut down. This also happens at some other planes. But not on the PC-12, there every thing runs perfectly. So can someone help me, because I don't wanna have to be careful not to get the thrust to 0%

[@thatflightsimchannel]

Sorry to hear that! It sounds like your throttle bindings could be duplicated with the engine off command (or whatever they’re called in the sim). My very first suggestion is to double check your throttle axis bindings and verify that they aren’t duplicated with another power management command. Otherwise, I suggest reconfiguring controls or make a new profile in controls for the PC24 specifically

[@alansenra]

What scenery is that?

Nope! I thought I was the only one struggling.

[@v1rotatev230]

I have camera issues with the plane, which is why I don’t fly it

[@thatflightsimchannel]

@@v1rotatev230 that’s unfortunate but have you tried adjusting the camera views? Don’t let that stop you from enjoying the PC24.

[@jeremyc311709]

to me, msfs2024 in general is just super clunky to use. The whole UI experience is geared more towards Xbox and it shows. such a shame

[@thatflightsimchannel]

@@jeremyc311709 couldn’t agree more! Capt. Flako and I talk about this daily and how it makes our life a bit harder when we’re trying to do these tutorials. Unfortunately for us simmers, it seems like we’ll have to adjust to the growing pains of FS2024 for now and hope for the best. But that’s easier said than done, especially when we all paid a hefty price tag for the sim.

[@nawnaw4709]

Too bad they give it to carenado...

[@thatflightsimchannel]

We actually enjoy Carenado products. Even though they’re not the most realistic flight models, the physical models are pretty spot on. But it could use some work for sure in terms of systems and overall fidelity
