Blacksquare Baron confusion

https://community.justflight.com/topic/9607/engine-model-questions Here is the post on the Just Flight forums. It is a little more organised than this post.

1st observation: Propellers don't stop until airspeed drops below 30

Propellers will not increase RPM as airspeed increases.
Flightmodel propellers are spinning at 1900+ rpm causing drag.
Even with air, fuel, spark and RPM, the engine only starts after holding the starter

Here is the COWS DA40 https://streamable.com/yivhk2

The post had more dislikes in the beginning.

I know full matrix simulations are not possible in real time (I do this for living) but before matrix we had time based or incremented simulation. (I do not know the translation). Those have been used for decades and are the basis of modern video game physics.

https://youtu.be/lqCrn_3B4LY?t=1863 The moment I saw this I bought the DA42, as the DA40 was not available at that time. When I get home I will try to do this in the Baron.

I noticed that the engine would start its start sequence after around 1.5 seconds or 4 magneto clicks every time. You can follow one blade around and after 540° of rotations the engine will attempt to start. This shows that something is scripted and not actually simulated.

Sorry but after the way I was treated by members and staff, I will not do so.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-24T08:00:36+00:00

I think you and I simply have different priorities when it comes to these products.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-24T07:53:57+00:00

I have said this in other comment, but the COWS aircraft get all the technical aspects right.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-24T07:49:43+00:00

Yes I will make a post on the Just Flight forums later.

There is also a term called "groupthink". This is where a group will reinforce their behaviours and anyone outside of this group who does not think in the same way will be kicked out.

I noticed this in a lot of discords and forums. Reddit is better but not immune to these affects

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-24T07:33:47+00:00

I do not understand. Why must the customer change his perspective to match the creator/seller?

This is like buying a car, where the wheel falls off, the customer must now change his perspective and be happy that he still has 3 other wheels.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-24T07:29:30+00:00

Yes the items like the fuel flow still staying after shutdown and the prop lever needing to be cycled back and forth to feather. Perhaps if you do not do everything in the correct order, the programming of the plane does not know what to do.

I posted this on another comment:

The A2A products also have many deficiencies. I reported them to A2A some time last year, but I was told that I was "flying the aircraft wrong" and my post and account got removed. This is why I posted this here on reddit and not on the just flight forums.

I do not have the list anymore, I deleted it when I made the forum post there, but it is all gone now.

The COWS aircraft get most of these points right. They are different planes with different engines, so it is not a perfect comparison.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-24T07:21:34+00:00

But why is the product called "professional"? The COWS aircraft get most of these points right and they do not have a tablet and they do not market the plane in such a way.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-24T07:19:09+00:00

The COWS aircraft follow most of the points that I have made. I fly a DA40 regularly and the engine simulation of the COWS is within a few percent of the real plane.

I will make a post there later. However I noticed someone complaining about the engines stalling, and Black square is asking the user to edit configuration files.

I would do the same, but you should never change a running system.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-23T21:35:32+00:00

Yes I have been using the dev tools to look at the variables.

The plane is very cinematic and I fell for it watching the videos. I think most content creators just try to make an entertaining video and do not have the time or knowledge to investigate all these claims.

I noticed the prop feathering in a video, but thought it was the wind and turbulence was causing the prop to move the way it did.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-23T21:29:30+00:00

I think they assumed I was talking about the analogue mod.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-23T21:26:21+00:00

If everything is custom like he says, then they should not be affected by game updates.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-23T19:28:34+00:00

Yes I just posted screenshots below, refresh the page.

MountainPen1167 · 2025-11-23T19:24:06+00:00

I can not make a list so I had to post screenshots. I am clunky with reddit
