Review by HA-420 is absolutely amazing!
of
v2.1.2
There can be some minor improvements.
1. We can split the PFD but the only insert is the nav map (only option I found). I see Youtube videos of IRL HJet pilot puts the checklist or a chart in the PFD. Suggest copying the MFD left-split to go to pilot's PFD and MFD right-split go to the copilot's PFD, like in Longitude.
2. The default passenger list is full and all 170 lbs, even in the Sim Options. I would love to change the default values like in the flight_model.cfg but it is not there (encrypted). Most liveries I get, I set my own Registration Number (aircraft.cfg) and default pilot/passenger weights. Nice to have flexibility.
3. Auto throttle appears to be a bit slow to respond when transitioning from descent to level flight. The airspeed drops 10+ kts below set airspeed.
Thanks for a great plane!
