@jmarkows no apology necessary. I'll have to study your program lines carefully, although I'm tempted to go the Mobiflight direction... @fredgarven thanks for this! I've downloaded your project and 'hey presto' I have full control of the cowl flaps ... and an awful lot of other things! Its good to see how a MF 'project' is formed and now I need to decide if I want to attempt to move over completely from FS24's clunky system. I might need to read the manual first though as those lines of code are seriously technical looking for an old geezer like myself lol.

Thank you. Does this apply to MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024 or both of them?

They're offering that for just under €15. Boris has experience with his own sound packs, too. It would also be an option to offer that as a separate sound pack under your partnership. Even though I get the feeling that doesn't really align with your philosophy regarding your products.

@Jasemelbo No big rush! I'm glad that we know the culprit now. I really appreciate your willingness to help out

@rinkerbuck Next time you think you should be seeing strikes on the scope, could you please take note of the atmospheric conditions, as they would appear in a METAR, and report back? That's really the only way I can diagnose whether this is a software issue, an algorithmic issue, or a weather issue.

Perfect thank you. No worries about it, if we all take one extra step we can walk miles from where we are now. I will reach out to them tomorrow. Pete

@Sunshine_db Yay! Glad I could help, and glad you were able to figure out the last bit on your own too! Indeed, I can't imagine doing those myself without the help of the debugger. Good luck, and you know where to find me if you need anything else

@SadBucket said in Question about when to contact ATC for clearance if avionics are turned on after engine start in the Bonanza: Didn't realize you needed clearance to start a small piston in EU, sounds absurd to me with the amount of training flights starting simultaneously at my home airport. You usually don't, AFAIK. At least in Germany, even at bigger airports, you usually just fire it up. If you have a ground crew, a marshaller etc., that's something you'd have to coordinate with them, not with ATC. At smaller, uncontrolled airfields, it's generally your responsibility to have a clear prop area (we don't yell out the window, though )

@hangar_101 Okay, that's what I expected. I had already found what was causing the brief momentary activation and fixed it for the next update.

@Black-Square is the update coming soon?

@MiRexer The Duke does not have a KAS 297B, which could explain your difficulties

If Working Title puts the Aspen avionics natively into MSFS, that might be an option too. I thought I saw that somewhere as being on their to-do list but I could have been dreaming. It would be inserted into the panel much like the 430/530 units are now...those are Working Title's 430/530's.

@Voxen Sure that you are comparing the TAS? If you take the GS from the GTN there is also a possible wind component included.

Agreed, the Commander is really nice to fly as it is. No GPS, just old school navigation. Love it.

@TheDudeAbides I believe that the MSFS native autopilot must have some control of the vertical axis whenever it's activated. In this case, it would be pitch hold. However, you should absolutely not have the autopilot activated in any capacity during takeoff or landing.

Thank's for the update. However the above issues are absolute no go items and the criticism from the thread-opener why these havn't been detected ( or fixed ) during beta testing is definitely justified. That question arises for myself too. Best regards
