    My love for this aircraft is being whittled away 100 times per flight with that master caution coming on all of the time. There just doesn't appear to be any reasons to most of them. Of particular annoyance is when established on short final with nothing more to do than put the plane on the runway and then.... MASTER CAUTION starts flashing yet again.

    I swear, if it were a real A/C I would have taken it to the mechanic and demand he fix it or remove it.

    Mapping the simulator commands to either acknowledge it, toggle it, or turn it off, does nothing.

    Is it bugged? Is it normal? How can I bind something to turn it, and the master warning alerts off.

    @CoolGunS I enjoy that the plane functions as it should in the real world, I’ve mapped the Caution and Warning alerts on the TBM, I would be surprised if not the same method could be used on the Dukes. Do you use any external program for hardware binding?

    To the best of my knowledge, everything is functioning normally with the master caution annunciator. If you consistently keep getting the warning on final, I suspect that it's the engine auto ignition annunciator that's illuminating when you reduce the power levers. You could put the ignition switch in the "on" position for landing to mitigate this problem. There is also a code solution I could provide if you are interested in doing some rewiring of your own aircraft. Also, you can find the appropriate L:Vars for resetting the master warning annunciator along with the others in the manual. Just set "L:var_masterCautionLatching" to 2, and this will reset the latching annunciator.

    Ahh, OK. I do throw the ignition switches into auto on final. I will try that. And thankyou for the pointer over the the bindings. CG.
