Other issues with this aircraft:

  1. The prop sounds are too quiet in external camera
  2. The AC lights are not visible
  3. The landing lights are too dim
  4. When starting “Ready to Fly”, like when you start a flight from a Helipad, the aircraft starts in “Fly” mode and as soon as the mission loads, the aircraft hovers and sometimes flips over before you get a chance to hit the start button. Obviously, this is because the aircraft is starting on the ground in Fly mode instead of Load mode and maybe there’s leftover HOTAS input from a previous flight.
  5. The pan controls do not move the map in the MFD
  6. The PFD can be set in “split” mode or “full” mode, but when you hit that button to take it out of “Split” mode, it gets stuck and instantly goes back to “split” mode.

I tried again with all addons removed and the aircraft instruments do not fail anymore. However, the above topics in the second post are still an issue.

Moved to User Support Hub since issue reported in the 1st post does not occur without any addons.
@FeintGames regarding the issues mentioned in your 2nd post, feel free to create new reports (if no existing ones) but as indicated below, please only 1 bug per topic:

Thank you !

I encounter the same issue. The screen looks like a cold dark start, like when the battery is off. Now even when switched on the screens still stay dark.
