Well, it's an incredible addon, what else to say. Took it for a flight around the coast of California, just under the controlled Vatsim airspace, did some stalls, spins, slow flights, and just as I was setting up to head back to the airport, I heard some sputtering from the engine. Quick look at the instruments - gosh, we are all out of fuel in the right-hand tank. Not knowing where the leak is, the safest thing is to secure the engine and do an unplanned 1-eng ILS. I think I found my new go-to GA plane.

Nice Pics, it looks like your engined is feathered and animated, i cant get mine to fully stop and no feather animation, my engine keeps windmilling event with mixture cut off and fuel off
@wsuch Oh, is that what you meant in that other thread? I'm sorry. It's a headlining feature of my twins, so I was confused by the question. This might sound like a silly question, but once you shut down the engine, did you pull the propeller lever past the detent and all the way into feather, and do so quickly? If you don't do it fast enough, the feather locking pins might engage and keep the propeller in a fine pitch. You can monitor this all on the tablet.

This sounds like you can do this by default? I used Spad.next to feather but I'd rather do it without if I can.
Is there someplace in the manual that explains this?

PS Great aircraft!!

There is no in-sim binding that I have found that will feather the propellers for any add-on ever. I have always had to do it via FSUIPC (or Spad, for you). What the in-sim feathering commands actually do is a complete mystery.
The other alternative is just grab the virtual lever with the mouse and pull it.

@Black-Square thanks this worked perfectly, well done they are amazing

@Black-Square Incredible product, any chance of getting the checklists on a tablet tab
Thanks

Did a few short CapFrameX tests yesterday in my new Baron Pro.
Very pleased with the results. Parked at KSEZ I was getting a steady 52 FPS with excellent interframe latency.
Flying at 6,000 ft. over the Sacramento Valley I was seeing 72 FPS. Those numbers are right up there with the best aircraft I've flown. I didn't check VRAM usage, but I never have an issue with that.
BTW, performance in the Bonanza Pro was pretty much the same. Well done.I noticed that in level flight @ 165 KIAS with AP Altitude Hold ON elevator trim is around -34. Is that normal?

Now it's time to learn the systems and program my Streamdecks in SPAD.
