When starting the 350i, the IGNITION and PITOT NO HT L-R flashing yellow labels do not extinguish.
Turning the PITOT SWITCHES ON and pre-selecting AUTO IGNITION SWITCHES have no effect.
Has anyone resolved this issue.
G’Day Pile-Its,.
With SU8 I find that the old warning lights (PITOT NO HT L-R and IGNITION) remain on, no matter that I turn both Pitot Heaters on and Engine Auto Ignition on. I do note that the Pitot heaters do seem to work when the pitot freezes
Has anyone found a solution?
It showed up for me 4 updates ago, got fixed and now it is back for me as well.
I am not betting any money on this getting fixed anytime soon
Hello, I do not have this problem but I’m using external hardware for controlling the King Air so sending event to MSFS via the SDK (like PITOT HEAT SET).
I checked the panel.xml logic and it should work, did you try to start the engines with SHIFT+E just to verify the alarm stay on ? If it does not there might be a startup procedure error from your part.
Also IGNITION warning is not related to the AUTO IGNITION SWITCHES , it relates to the ignition/starter switches on the left under the battery-generator switches. Be sure to have these set back to the intermediate position after N1 > 50%.
Hello BetePlacebo2,
I have tried starting both by checklist and by Shift+E and moving Pitot and Ignition switches to every position both before and after starting. Nothing works. At least it does not degrade the flight. Thanks to you and ButtOwipoLIVE for your replies.
I hope this bird gets some love , in Xplane the payware 350 was my go-to airplane
Do you have this problem in cruise with the King Air ?
Beechcraft King Air 350i show a constant slip on PFD above a certain speed - Bug Reports / Aircraft Systems - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums
Regarding you warning problem I have a solution for you.
Can you find the file panel.xml in your MSFS install directory at SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_KingAir350\panel
search for IGNITION & PITOT and remove the associated conditions in the XML files
Just comment it like this : (with “<!--
” and “-->
” around tags)
<!--<Annunciation>
<Type>Caution</Type>
<Text>IGNITION</Text>
<Condition>
<Or>
<And>
<Simvar name="TURB ENG IS IGNITING:1" unit="Bool"/>
<Simvar name="GENERAL ENG STARTER ACTIVE:1" unit="Bool"/>
</And>
<And>
<Simvar name="TURB ENG IS IGNITING:2" unit="Bool"/>
<Simvar name="GENERAL ENG STARTER ACTIVE:2" unit="Bool"/>

Sorry for the late reply. I had my teeth removed Friday and just getting to a semblance of “normal”.
So… the directory you mentioned exists:
C:\Users\12624\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_KingAir350
however there is no panel directory or panel.cfg. I saw another message that stated the config files were hidden or locked in the current version of FS20. ideas ???
