    Per title- selecting the DME Hold option simply blanks the DME receiver. This worked previously on the Bonanza and Baron.

      There is no reason this should have stopped working in the Dukes, but I can't swear that I tested it recently. It's more likely that the process of tuning the new station (it's not actually "held" like it is in a real aircraft, but instead retuned. Just a MSFS limitation.) can take a few seconds. Sometimes DME information takes another few seconds to acquire, so you might get "999.9NM" for a few seconds before getting good information. This is just a limitation of the MSFS radio navigation simulation. I actually had to overcome this to couple the KNS-81 to the autopilot, because the MSFS DME update speed was so slow that it was unusable to an autopilot. I'll take a look at this later just to make sure something didn't get broken before release.

        This was completely my fault. So sorry. I changed some things with the tablet system that causes this mistake, believe it or not. I'm just ashamed that I didn't catch it.

        Unfortunately, there are a whole bunch of files that need to change to fix this, so I can't offer my usual simple DIY fix for those who don't want to wait for the next update. I hope that will be acceptable, and you can just avoid approaches that require DME holding until then.

        Thank you so much for pointing this out to me!
