Asobo ATR Turnaround procedure

Is anyone familiar with the Asobo ATR turnaround procedure?

My habit is to stop at the gate, parking brake on, retard the fuel / condition lever for engine#1 to shut the engine down turning off the #1 fuel pump also.

The fuel / condition lever for #2 then comes back to the FTR position I then press the AUX HYD button on the throttle quadrant waiting for the prop brake to luminate. When it does the guard switch is moved and the returned once the prop brake is on.

This puts the aircraft, by my reckoning into “Hotel Mode” however there is then this horrible “grinding” sound from the aircraft which can only be resolved by exiting to the MSFS menu and reloading the aircraft.

Any ideas?

The grinding sound is the bug with the landing gear jumping up and down very quickly - attach AC wild ground power unit from the EFB and conncet it to the system to solve it.
