HOW TO INSTALL:
- Locate the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 installation folder
- You need to find and open the folder called "Community"
- Copy the folder "marinerm-chengdu-j-36" you just extracted to the Community folder.
- Start the game and the "Marine RM Chengdu J-36" will be in its hangar ready to fly!
HOW TO PLAY:
When you start on the runway, your aircraft will be ready for flight. If you're starting cold and dry, consider pressing the STARTER button on the panel in front of you. Wait 1 minute for the engine to fully ignite and monitor the EICAS (first screen on the left panel) as the engine RPM and temperature increase to the ideal level. In the meantime, you can experiment with the Chocks or GPU display. When taking off, consider briefly using the afterburner, as there will be ample power available due to the three engines in the fuselage.
Using the Autopilot is simple, but requires prior guidance: you must click on the desired function before starting digitation to click enter. Use the ENT buttons to confirm what you've entered or the CLR button to clear and enter again. It is always necessary to click on the desired function before entering. Consider always starting to configure your AP by maintaining altitude, so first press the ALT button and then enter the desired value, and press ENT if the final value has less than 4 digits. Above 5 digits, the value is automatically applied by the AP. Next, set your desired speed or HDG, or even GPS navigation mode. If you want to remove speed control, click the A/T button in the upper right corner of the screen. Consider using the VS+ and VS- buttons to interact with climb mode
IMPORTANT: Avoid using Mach control during climbs to avoid constant acceleration and deceleration; During the climb phase, if you want to use A/T, use the normal SPEED control, in knots, and after stabilizing your altitude, change to Mach if you wish.
The radio screen works similarly: click on the frequency type you want to change (COMM 1 or XPNDR) and enter the desired frequency, pressing ENT when finished, or CLR to clear your entry.
Your MDF panel displays local time, landing gear status, navigation light status, and flap status. When landing, note that your landing speed may be low, less than 140 knots, due to the shape of the aircraft. There are filters and digital controls to make the flight more stable during this phase, but some caution and skill are recommended for a safe landing.
Quick View 5 in the cockpit is a fixed camera on the outside of the aircraft with a HUD, for tactical flight similar to aerial combat games.
Enjoy!
IMPORTANT: THE J-36 IS A STEALTH AIRCRAFT UNDER DEVELOPMENT. LITTLE IS REALLY KNOWN ABOUT IT, AND EVERYTHING WAS DEVELOPED BASED ON SPECULATION AND IMAGES. PLEASE CONSIDER THAT THE AIRCRAFT'S DEVELOPMENT IN MSFS FOCUSED ON FUN AND ENJOYABLE GAMEPLAY.

完美的高空高超音速选择!实测能飞到 M 7.8 突破第一宇宙速度,15min 左右爬升出平流层,三发推力巨大!但有时候只会有 1/5 的按钮可使用,这是唯一需改进点!

整體操作不錯,好飛,但自動駕駛有問題,飛機極速比遇期的底,請給我正確的巡極速,j36極速應該2馬赫以上,但這模型極速只有1.2馬赫。 自動油門取消時中間引擎依然推進。 引擎編號錯亂。 中間控制面版中文字貼反(up side down)。 自動油門及自動駕駛無法設定油門推桿按鍵。 但這台模型很好操控。 所有機身外部燈光亮度不足. 以這台j36完成度極少,已完成度錯誤百出而言,連最高速只有1.2馬赫的錯誤設定,只值us$10.

This is a very fun airplane to fly. My request is for rudder movement and air brake animations like the B2. (I'm using a translation tool)

It’s a fun and cool looking aircraft for sure. Extremely fast and capable of wild high altitudes. A real hypersonic aircraft to play with. However textures are OK, and there’s very few switches that do anything, but this isn’t about realism. It’s about flying fast and high in the most futuristic aircraft based on real world speculation. This first version has a problem. ONLY the left tank works and fuels all 3 engines. Fuel does not draw from the center or right tanks at all and remain full ( or whatever you put into them) at all times. When the left tank runs out of gas, all 3 engines shut down. You have to manually refill the left tank using weight and balance screen before restarting engines is possible.. would be cool to this fixed soon and maybe even be able to open close canopy too?
