This mod disables the fly by wire systems in the Leonardo M-346 & M-346FA, and retunes the flight controls for manual inputs.
*Description*
The M-346 is a premier level aircraft for MSFS and of extremely high quality, but its not without issues. At the moment there is a bug in the MSFS fly by wire systems that makes aircraft fail to center properly after a stall roll, leaving the plane banking to one side consistantly. In the M-346 this makes it unwieldy and frustating to fly at times, and combined with a few bugs in the aircraft, completely ruin what should be a stellar experience. So I spent a few days over christmas retuning the plane, so that I could actually fly it. The changes are minor, and only serve to make the aircraft usable for manual controls and to fix the bugged wheels. There should be almost no real discernable difference. The engine placement was reconfigured to match the correct location, and helps provide a cleaner thrust profile.
* FLIGHT NOTES*
Because of the way this aircraft is designed it has a a nose up attitude, so nose down trim is required instead of nose up trim.
At mach transitions, the lift is moved backwards making the plane go extremely nose down. Its advised to have at least 5000 feet before going mach, or to invert during mach transition
The above characteristics are why it has a FBW system, so take care in flight and it should become second nature.
Compatability
Compatible with both 3rd party and MS store versions of the aircraft.
*Instalation*
Extract the mod and place in your community folder, same as any other mod

Thanks! I'll test this out. I love IFE products but this has been a huge issue for me and made me not want to fly the M-346.

I am a big fan of IFE products ( I own all their jets). Its just a shame there are a few kinks that affect them so bad.
