    That's a really good video - I particularly enjoyed how he spent time explaining how not to pinch one's fingers in the ladder. That thing has "bitten" me on more than one occasion in the real plane.

    There are two things happening when you pull that lever, to the best of my understanding, and only one is depicted on the tablet for the sake of simplicity. One is the P2.5 influence that we discussed above, but the other is the elimination of cabin return mixing air, which cools the P3 air. That's why the lever should not be used in flight, as this would overheat the ducts. That's my understanding of the system, at least.

    I'll fly in any weather, as long as I don't deliberately take off in it and instead let it surprise me at my destination.

    Awesome thanks - yeah I searched on emergency and couldn't find anything other than the checklists.

    Thanks. I have a few other housekeeping things to take care of with Just Flight, so I will add that to the list.

    Thanks for the feedback. I hope you're enjoying the aircraft, regardless of some of these things. I hope you don't mind if I answer in the form of a list, as I'm doing a lot of replies today. The KAP 140 is incapable of driving a flight director, hence the lack of one. I could add an optionally toggleable one for you, but as you might imagine, then I will receive comments that this is "unrealistic". Unfortunately, I don't plan on adding a different RMI to the Caravan, since this is the unit I have seen most commonly installed in Caravans. Also, I'm sure you also understand that I receive a lot of requests to put avionics from all my aircraft in all my other aircraft, which would be a practical impossibility. This is unfortunate, since I aim to make everyone happy. I have been told by my Caravan pilots that a lot of rudder trim is required for cruise and any power changes, and also due to fuel imbalance. As the KAP 140 does not have authority over the rudder, I think this might be mostly realistic. I'll talk to my Caravan pilots to get their opinion. I'm already working on this for v1.1. Unfortunately, there is no "click here to increase left-turning tendency" option when developing a CFD aerodynamics model, but one would think this is a solvable problem from looking at my other aircraft. Hopefully I can get this squared away for you guys by next week. Sorry it's not sooner, but Just Flight is on their way to FSWeekend in a matter of hours. Thanks again, and let me know if you have any more comments or questions! You know where to find me.

    Are you familiar with the KAP 140's adjustable barometer setting? Unfortunately, I think there is actually a bug with that right now, but I will fix it very soon with v1.1.

    From memory right now, I think you're right about the visualizer being reversed. I will check operation for v1.1.

    Well I was hoping there might be a break in which I could bring this up again, but the Caravan seems to have produced an absolute flurry of activity. Maybe in a week or two

    Hmmm, better read the manual... Why HDG mode worked differently than NAV mode is still not clear to me..

    No, that's very plausible. I know which configurations affect this, and it's perpetually confusing, at least to me. I'll get that sorted out asap.

    I agree some more steering realism would be great. Also a realistic parking brake. As far as I remember those aren’t part of any Black Square aircraft for convenience of less-skilled users.
