Commander 114

Ok, had to delve in deeper and managed to code electric trim up and down using that code, thanks. So only works when correct power on. I guess the button animation is not possible due to the var type used?

Thanks for the heads-up directing me to the DME functionality of the RNAV, indeed this would make it a good reason to keep it in IRL. Meanwhile I found that it's pretty useful for reporting points in combination with the KLN90, which does not have them. SO right now, only a more modern transponder would be cool, something simple, but not yet simulated maybe.. TQ TTX2, or a Trig TT31, or [insert whatever option here].

I pretty much always start on the ramp. I have tested - hot swapping to a TDS 750 and setting the transponder on there to ALT - hot swapping back to normal radios - set the transponder unit to SBY. Exit and reload aircraft it is back on ALT.

Ok, thanks Nick. So it's a simulationwise limitation? I can live with it without a problem. One can fly RNAV with setting the heading bug manual or use RNAV as reference system. Just trying to understand the backgrounds.

@comanche163 You can either select the textures you want from another livery, or you can point the new livery to one of the interior texture folders. Take a look at texture.cfg in one of my default liveries, and I think you will be able to copy it and figure out what to do. Let me know if I can help!

@Black-Square I was reading this topic and I wanted to provide some feedback. As other users are saying, I personally would love to see the Walkaround elements to be independently removed: each Pitot Cover, each Static Port Cover, etc. Brings more realism and immersion to the Walkaround, specially in airplanes with multiple of these elements, like the Dukes where 1 click removes 4 Pitot and Static Covers. I also highly support the clicksposts for entering and exiting the aircrafts. Have a good day!

I tried to make this pretty quick based off the PA24... Not sure how well it will work. AC11 Simbrief

Did you read this from the FAQ in the manual? Why does the mixture behave strangely in the turbocharged version, and I cannot bind it to hardware controls? Microsoft Flight Simulator’s turbocharger simulation has been significantly flawed for several generations. This aircraft has a custom turbocharger that fixes nearly all of these issues, and is much more realistic, as a result. To make these changes, the new “Input Event” system is used to intercept hardware and key-bindings for the mixture control axis. Please make sure that your hardware bindings are using the Key Events, such as “K:MIXTURE1_DECR_SMALL”, or “K:MIXTURE1_SET” to set the mixture, and NOT setting either “A:GENERAL ENG MIXTURE LEVER POSITION:1”, or “B:FUEL_Mixture_1_Set”. Alternatively, setting “L:BKSQ_MixtureLeverPosition_1” from 0-100 will also work to set the mixture axis.

That's what I would have thought, but the OP seemed to suggest something different. I was just checking before I purchased ... which I'm delaying for a few days until I'm less busy and can commit the time to what I already know is a marvelous piece of virtual general aviation.

@ksmith Wonderful news, Keith! I've been wondering if anyone had read my changelogs regarding updates for compatibility with mysterious online services. I can't wait to hear stories about how my users make use of this feature. Thank you so much for bringing us that opportunity.

I'll give it a try. I like a good challenge (hence I bought this plane ;-))

@Black-Square No problem!

@SadBucket said in Awesome Release | minor bug/ Requests: Would be awesome if you could make engine start work from Mixture ICO I second that. It would make a great plane even more realistic!

That's awesome, thank you for confirming! It would have been a surprise if not, because your wingflex animations are among - if not the best. The reason I asked was that I flew out of virtual Chicago-Joliet towards Frasca, and it was super windy from take-off to landing, with lots of turbulence, but I didn't notice any flexing. I am excited to see the wing flex in action! Just need to find out what route to fly next.

@Lexa330 The two aircraft are completely separate in the aircraft selection menu (with separate names) to avoid this confusion with similar appearing aircraft models.

@JakeBunny That's disappointing. I dearly hope we get the option to remove them.

Great, thank you! I’d seen someone mention on the MSFS forum that you can click and hold LMB and then use the wheel to accelerate it. I’ll check that out.
