    First off, thanks so much for this Caravan! I had no idea I would enjoy it as much as I have, as I've always been more into the fastest PT6 aircraft than the sub-200KTAS models. Having a blast!

    A few things I'd like to bring up that are things I notice but aren't massive issues:

    1. Generator questions, are these correct behaviours?:
    • With the engine on, setting the start switch to "start" turns the ignition on (ign switch is "normal"), but does nothing to the generator which is still engaged and provides power. Is there something in the Caravan that stops the GEN from becoming a starter when the engine is on, or does the Caravan have a separate starter and GEN?
    • The GEN OFF warning light toggles with relevant GEN switch selections after engine shutdown.
    • With the GEN switch left "on", the GEN provides power when starter is set "off" after start. Is "reset" normally not required to engage the generator? Is the checklist item just for redundancy?
    1. The hPa scale of the altimeter seems to still be slightly off, the inHg seems correct but the hPa is offset a bit.

    2. I know the turboprop physics in MSFS are non-existent and that what the Blacksquare PT6 aircraft has managed to do despite that fact is beyond impressive. Still, I wonder if it's possible to tweak a little more drag into the max RPM & low torque range? As I understand it, most turboprops in "disc" will be like throwing out the anchor, I only regularly fly pistons myself sadly so I can't know exactly what the Caravan feels like to fly, but this is the only thing I sometimes (when I mess up my approach or pretend at parachute ops) find a tiny bit lacking.

    3. If you're parked into wind with the engine off, a high enough wind speed can make a feathered propeller spin (not sure how realistic that is in the Caravan), which will also trigger the start-up yoke movements (which I'm sure is not realistic). It's a real fringe case, but thought I'd mention it.

    Thanks!
