    I have the Piston Duke and Prop Heat is not working properly. All circuit breakers are pushed. No aktiv failures. Version 1.1

    • The "Prop Heat Ground Test" does not work on the ground. No display on the Prop Amps Meter.
    • In flight only the left prop heat works. The right one does not generate any deflection on the Prop Amp Meter.
    • The 20A Prop Circuit Breaker does not work either and has no effect.

    Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

        @Randolf Thanks for the hint. Now I understand it and it works that left and right change every 30 seconds. The ground test also works if either the left or right or both prop heaters are switched on.

        Then there is only one thing left:

        • The 20A circuit breaker only interrupts the right prop heater. The left one continues to work every 30 seconds.

            I just went looking now. It was a single character error in the XML. The failure triggered from the tablet would have worked correctly, believe it or not. Thanks for pointing it out. It's nice when the problems are easy, but then it takes me ten times longer to reply and document the change than it did to actually fix the problem!
