    Sorry for the late reply. I absolutely support older navigational stuff. In FSX times I flew the Stratocruiser across the pont using weatherships and celestial navigation (although a bit simplified) and I am quite firm in using the INS. However I love realism, so I'd either go old school, radio navigation + RNAV, or simulate a panel how it would fly today- with GNS or GTN. If I would update the panel on an aircraft like the Duke with modern avionics, I would certainly through out all the old radios, transponders and outdated stuff like the RNAV unit, which would clean up the panel and save some weight after all. It would be great if we could opt for a panel without the RNAV unit (and in this case, the copilot's HSI could be used for GPS2 / NAV2).

    Yes, and yes! The "Landing Gear Manual Extension" checklist will walk you through the process and position the camera so you can easily turn the handle.

    Amazing video again. Thank you for the clear explanation. Indeed, anything is possible with my aircraft and hardware bindings. Someone else will have to advise exactly how to achieve this with Axes and Oh's, but I can tell you the exact L:Var sequence you're looking for to achieve it. From left to right... Position 1: L:var_FuelPumpSwitch_L = 1 L:var_StarterGenSwitch_L = 1 L:var_IgnitionSwitch_L = 1 Position 2: L:var_FuelPumpSwitch_L = 0 (0 = WING, 2 = AUX) L:var_StarterGenSwitch_L = 1 L:var_IgnitionSwitch_L = 1 Position 3: L:var_FuelPumpSwitch_L = 0 L:var_StarterGenSwitch_L = 1 L:var_IgnitionSwitch_L = 0 (0 = ON, 2 = AUTO) Position 4: L:var_FuelPumpSwitch_L = 0 L:var_StarterGenSwitch_L = 2 L:var_IgnitionSwitch_L = 0 Position 5: L:var_FuelPumpSwitch_L = 0 L:var_StarterGenSwitch_L = 0 L:var_IgnitionSwitch_L = 0 I hope that helps get you started! Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Thanks for the video! It's a joy to see your setup, but I think that's also the first time I've heard the voice of one of my users outside of Flight Sim Expo. Which event are you using for the generators? I think it's just a matter of it repeating the command continuously, as I've seen this with other aircraft in the past. I'm sorry that I'm not an expert on the hardware binding software, though. Are you sending a "Toggle" command, rather than a "set" command? The inverter should be very easy if you are already working with other L:Vars. The inverter switch is... (L:var_InverterSwitch, number) 0 = Main 1 = Off 2 = Standby All other L:Vars, native events, inputs, and outputs are in the manual, if you haven't found them already. Good luck and let me know if I can do anything else to help!

    Good question! The real-world FAA approved STC (supplemental type certificate) flight manual for the Turbine Duke does not list a prop sync switch anywhere in the cockpit; however, there is a 2 amp circuit breaker labeled, "Prop Sync" (in the real aircraft).

    @Kilstorm in AAO, first collect all Lvars: menu Scripting -> Read Lvars from sim, then when creating a new button assignment, click on the key down event, and find the Lvar you want to set, and on the right of the field, change the number to what you want to set the variable to. That way you can set various Lvars using your buttons. That should get you started. If you run into any problem, feel free to ask for details.

    Thanks, Michael. I really appreciate that. I asked all my beta testers and everyone at Just Flight what the best solution was for accessing beta before I went down this road, and this definitely the "easiest" solution that we could come up with for the majority of users. The replies to my request were certainly not unanimous, though, as there seems to be no consensus on the best way to implement beta. This is definitely a scenario where I wish I could please everyone, but that seems unlikely. Thanks for the note. I'm always listening for suggestions. It just pains me when when I'm not able to deliver a solution that works perfectly for everyone all the time.

    Great, thanks! I figured that's probably how it is in the aircraft...just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

    Do you have the TDS installed in your community folder? That option should never be activated for anyone unless they at least have the TDS installed. If you don't use it, removing it from your community folder for the time being should force the tablet to always load in PMS mode regardless of your previous selection.

    @syff That works! I just chose the wrong LVAR for the binding. With the "MagnetoController" one it works instanly. Thank you very much! I know, scripts can do "magic", but I have no clue how to write them (coding in general is all Greek to me) xD, so I'm happy to have the little GUI from A&O.

    So glad to hear you're enjoying them! The same thing has happened over here in the US, but some parts of the country are better than others, because the terrain varies so much from one end to the other. You can still find lots of unique approaches hidden up in the mountainous areas of the mid-west. Yes, that's the outside air temperature gauge. You can also retrieve the OAT via the function button on the transponder, and I believe also on the engine monitors in both versions of the aircraft. Happy flying!

    yep, just tested it. I used the spacedesk app on my iPad and simply dragged the popped out tablet to the iPad-monitor. Worked like charm.
