@Woolies It's a real shame, isn't it? It's been like that since the debut of MSFS 2020.

@NixonRedgrave SU6 now installed as live and BATC still working just fine with EGHH Tower on Comm 1 and EGHH ATIS on Comm 2. So doesn't seem to be a general issue. Must be something in your install of MSFS or the 114 that is causing you the issue? Hope you resolve soon. [image: a96a693b-f533-4456-9491-0a3232341499.png]

I suspect the engines might be damaged, possibly due to a hot start - I had similar symptoms after trying the CTRL E MSFS auto-start command when I was in a hurry testing a few things quite a while back. You can check and repair the engines via the menu system.

glad to be of help!

Sometimes we miss the most glaringly obvious things while working on the minutia, don't we? Fixed for the next update. Thanks

@BigRigDriver Since the Duke uses all third party avionics (except the KNS-81), flight plan importing and editing is up to the capabilities of whichever GPS you have installed and intend to use. However, I believe all the available options support importing Navigraph flight plans. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

You guys are ace. To the axisandohs!!

@toby23 ah Ok. I’m having a similar problem with the Commander so was hoping you’d stumbled across something. I shall keep digging

Just to follow up on the EDM-800 DIF temp, did a couple tests. At idle, DIF read 18F. When converted, it incorrectly displayed 10C (should be -8C). Cylinder readings, in F, across the 6 for EGT/CHT were: 444/310, 463/322, 440/308, 474/329, 453/315, 468/325. At around 1000 rpm, DIF read 22F, converted to 12C (should be -6C). Cylinders read: 531/234, 557/243, 528/233, 571/248, 542/238, 561/244. Another note I had was that when rapidly shifting the throttle, the DIF temp seemed to settle much much faster than the EGT/CHT temps were moving, in that the DIF temp was stable while the EGT/CHT temps were still moving fairly rapidly more than approx. 10 deg. Not sure I'd expect the DIF stability when temps are moving so quickly. Hope this helps!

Yes, that was the case....thanks !

@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.

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

@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?
