Steam Gauge Overhaul

@elglon So I tried again today, and it worked just fine for me! Flew a beautiful flight from Mount Cook to Queenstown. Bumpy approach in the mountains, but not bad for my first try. I have some competing theories regarding what was going on. Firstly, I turned off all engine failures (though none were registered). I did not have any open circuit fuses. Secondly, I closed the app SkyDolly, which I use for inflight recordings. I've noticed previously that SkyDolly has done some strange stuff to my airplane systems. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue and post back any updates that I have. But for now, the issue seems to have been resolved.

@steve6248 It clearly is a typo in the manual.

I'm afraid this issue has cropped up again after the recent GNS update. Had issues with the AP today after updating, but the issues went away after removing the beta. One other fix I suspect would work but that I didn't try was removing the TDS GTN750NXi from the community folder. I think that's worked before. But anyway, I just wanted to mention this again.

I hear the stall warning when activating the test switch that you are referring to. Could it be a tripped circuit breaker?

Disregard. For any unknown reason it suddenly works. There were no changes from my side...

I just found out the electrical_circuit_toggle event (146) is the key to activate both prop test gov and gnd idle stop functions.

@taipan303 Just in case someone wants to map rudder and electric trim switches Rudder => CIRCUIT SWITCH ON:125 (1) ON (0) OFF Elect Trim => CIRCUIT SWITCH ON:73 (1) ON (0) OFF

@gcarlson Cheers Gary, worked for me too!

Ah. That’s interesting. I’ll check that out. Many thanks. Richard

I have taken the advice of Anderson and removed the TDS gauge from the community file. This allows the pms 750 to work ( albeit in the TDS panel ). I assume if I uninstall the TDS altogether it may show the pms panel but I’m happy with the compromise! Richard

@jamest_il said in Windshield de-icing in the Caravan: I also have this problem. @philipj @leclettico @born2fly75 If you would like someone to look into this your best bet would be to contact Just Flight support. https://community.justflight.com/topic/2/product-support https://www.justflight.com/support https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/folders/17000141029

@haseen On the Discord channel, the developer has said that the WT module will not affect the 172 in any way.

I'm having a huge fps drop as well. Mine happens on at the air, losing ~20 fps, and gets even worse after landing. It happens only in the King Air

@oldsimmer you probably forgot the the "IGNITION AND ENGINE START" to down position. Try again.

If you start at night, and if the emergency light is off, your headlight should already be on (MSFS default feature). The emergency light is directly connected to the battery bus so you can turn it on even with battery disconnected. All other lights in the cabin are powered through the generator bus, but you can still manually close the gen bus to power the lights with the battery. Procedure : If not already, turn on emergency light (overhead panel, right side) switch on the battery master (pilot panel, left side) close the generator bus, "Gen Tie Man" > close (pilot panel, center/left) turn on the lights (overhead panel, left side) manually adjust each light knob Then you can start your checklist. Beware that you will draw much more current from the battery and may have to wait the battery charge.

@punch try these tips increase the torque slowly so governor can do its job right, otherwise prop rpm will go over redline; wait NG stabilize at 19.5% (wait at least 3s after reaching 19.5%) then move mixture to Slow Idle, you will notice the ITT should not go over ITT start redline and no damage to the engines. I got these instructions from a video of a real King Air pilot, I have had no problem since then.
