    @musefan hehe, could be a bit intimidating at first, but the basics are easy to get and the possibilities are endless compared to the native stuff. And there also an amazing community on the Discord server. The general benefits depending mostly on the hardware you are using. I would simply not not be able to use my cockpit without SPAD.neXt.

    "L:var_correctedBatteryLoad, amps" working perfectly fine. Thank you... Now the EDM values are all there. I think I will add flaps and maybe cowl flaps positions an then I can publish that. Only the CHT/EGT variables are a bit off... as you can see in my other post.

    Just startet on the runway to check the CHT values for another post. Everything looked fine. Engines running, ready to go.

    The two switches just enable/disable each propeller's heater coils, but the timing electronics are always operating when there is power to one of the coils. Yes, sorry! I forgot to answer that part of your message. I seem to recall the way that I programmed that functionality, I would not be surprised if there is a momentary current spike before the timing controller activates.

    Hahaha thanks, but that s probably too much. about the EDM that was already the case in previous aircraft such as the Bonanza or Baron about cowl flaps everything is in the manuals I know it s lot of information to ingest when jumping in a new plane but they are very instructive

    All of the annunciators in my aircraft have L:Var outputs. You can thank the developers Air Manager for encouraging me to do this. I don't list them all in the manual, because it would just be pages and pages of L:Vars. The name of the L:Var is the component name in the behaviors xml file, plus a prefix and postfix. For example, in the turbine aircraft, the fuel pressure annunciator "GSA_FuelPressure_L_EM" becomes... (L:var_GSA_FuelPressure_L_EM_readonly, bool) In the piston aircraft, it's... (L:var_LeftFuelPressAnnun_EM_readonly, bool) I hope this helps get you started. Let me know if you have any more questions.

    89 spO2 is COPD approved. You need to smoke more cigarettes, lol. But I do think the O2 gets low sometimes despite normal pressurization. Might be a little glitch to fix.

    I checked against the vs speed indicator because as you said the trim wheel itself wasn’t animating. I can use the mouse to move the wheel, but the AP pitch hold reference seems to only fight the autopilot.

    @Black-Square I have not tried it - and was not aware it could be done another way. Sounds like you do have it set up already then. Yep, just tested it and I see it's wanting to glide at 110kts. Disregard, sorry about that. Definitely don't want to waste your time and stop you from developing more awesome aircraft. Might need to be set on the TBM and the rest of your aircraft for their next patches, but I have no knowledge if that has been done already, of course.

    I just wanted to confirm that Nico is right on with this, since I've never seen it addressed specifically anywhere else. The circuit breaker state is not saved, but the failures connected to it are. In other words, a manually pulled circuit breaker will reset on your next flight, but if a failure would result in a popped circuit breaker on your next flight, then it will wait until there is current flowing on the circuit, and then pop.

    They do, and they should. I have them setting the spoiler position to create drag, but I can't say as I've tested that in a long time, or several aircraft, to be honest. I'll double check it for you. Thanks for the kind words!
