Autopilot and some very minor issues
-
Been racking up the hours on Pilot Edge keeping my hand in while away from the real plane.
Firstly - Autopilot misbehaves 1 time in 3 approx. I set the heading and turn on Autopilot. Heading select. Plane may veer off course.
Avionics master does not turn off the avionics, only turns them on.
Xponder Ident button does not illuminate and Pilot Edge does not see it when pressed.
Minor issues that will take the plane to the next level:
Oil Temp and pressure do not match real world. Hot day takeoffs should result in increased oil temp and reduced oil pressure requiring increasing air speed and reducing power and rate of climb to keep the oil temp in the green. This is very important on those southern California hot day take offs.
On startup the fuel pressure does not show until mixture is rich. It should show when fuel boost pump is turned on.
Lastly it appears there is a little troll in the cockpit who swaps fuel tanks when I am not looking. Is there an option for automatic fuel management I have not seen ?

@xaxjon I can help with 2 of those:
(3) The ident button not working is a msfs limitation. There's no way (I believe) for the PE client to know when the button is pressed.
(6) Re your last point, on the EFB, make sure auto fuel selector is off. In case you are unaware, to show the EFB use the I/COMM switch next to the DME source switch.
