    Since the upgrade, the standby gyro system seems to have become inoperative. Breakers are all good, and no failures are indicated, but when enabling the system during preflight checks, you can hear the electric motor switch on but the instrument air gauge never moves Curiously, once the engine is running and producing vacuum, enabling the switch does show an increase on the air gauge.

    I've only tried this on the Turbo-normalized version. I don't know if it's occurring on the normally aspirated planes.

    I think I know why. I'm sorry. Everything is still working, including the indicator on the glareshield, just not the gauge. I made some major changes to the vacuum system to support my physics-based gyroscopes, but I should have caught that before release. Thanks for letting me know.

    No worries. The upgrade is otherwise brilliant and much appreciated!
