I was told that SU11 beta is using a different server to SU10.
Here is a video for my lighting issue. Forst I switch on the Master Battery Switch. Then I dial up all 4 lighting dials by mouse. After that I dial them down using my hardware dials. The light should dim now, but it only changes after I touched each dial with the mouse.
Maybe try LIGHT POTENTIOMETER:4 set to axis percent with MSFS variable? For the radio, eng and sw panel, it would be 5, 6 and 7 respectively.

Any tip for crosswind landings? Even with light crosswind (7 kts), as soon as I put wheels on ground the aircraft starts to skid. Furthermore, the upstream wing lifts off and the aircraft starts to roll while on ground. I guess I need to compensate with ailerons but seems really hard.

Thanks, I will try.
Yes, this works.
I need both. Setting the LVar L:C310_SW_LIGHTS_ENG_INST animates the dial and executing the calculator code “x 4 (>K:2:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_SET)” (x = 0 to 100) sets the lighting.
I’m using FSUIPC.

Disclaimer, not ownign this plane. But do you straighten up out of the crab before touchdown? Also like IRl, put the wind that is into the wind down, to prevent a blow over, and even after touchdown you should keep a fair bit of aileron towards the wind side.
Grantet that is tricky on a short throw joystick, specially if you use the twist on top of that.
Tried again with SU11, same result - network connection broken. So tried the exact same route with JF Arrow III & got the same result. So will probably backout SU11 and go back to regular release
What’s it like with empty community folder and stock aircraft?
I didn’t have the patience to try that, I’ve just gone back to the non-beta release.
I seem to constantly mess up my cylinders (not the SP1 version). What am I doing wrong?
After TKOF, I put all the needles into the green areas.
I personally do not know this but I am sure you will need to add more detail in order for someone to help. For example what you do before you set everything to green, what altitude, what you set the levers to to get green, outside temps and I don’t know what else. So be prepared.
Sorry I’m just learning myself.
Do you check your cylinders temps? Are your cowls open?
About 1000 ft after takeoff, I reduce prop rpm to around 2300.
Then I reduce throttle (manifold pressure) to between 2000 and 2400.
Finally, I reduce mixture to be within the small “cruise” green half circle, so around 75-100 on the large green circle.
On the cowl flaps it says “pull to close”, so I have them pushed in, assuming this means open. But I have read that they changed something in SP1 regarding this, not sure if current version might be bugged/swithced around perhaps?
EDIT: According to the changelog for SP1, cowl flaps doesn’t affect temperature. So I guess they don’t affect the cylinders either?
0009397: Cowl flaps have no effect on engine temps. Not changed, not practical to implement.

Make sure to lean the mixture after the engines warm up a minute or so and leave them until takeoff based on field elevation. Then on the climb they should be leaned more as the aircraft gains altitude and the air gets thinner. In general, I like to keep them at peak EGT and have had no issues.
Yes, I do lean to about 50% while on ground and taxiing.
The manual states that the EGT will have an asterix (*) that shows optimal lean, but I don’t have that on my gauge. Maybe it’s leftovers from a manual from a different plane they did.
I will try to pay more attention to peak EGT rather than just the fuel flow 
@Zemith82 Just curious - what level have you set the Failures checkbox?
Does the cylinder damage appear in the DME failure display?
Or just shown the Status page?
“Rarely”, as the manual states this is the most realistic.
The DME displays says engine left/right failure code. “11.1 05 01” or something like that.
In my experience when I climb, after 1000ft above ground, I reduce the manifold to 24" and then the rpm to 2500 (in that order). I keep rich mixture a while until the hp drops below 65, then I try to keep a rich mixture below 100ºF from peak EGT.
Finally on cruise, I reduce the manifold and rpm to cruise configuration and lean the mixture to 25ºF below peak EGT.
I will try that from now on, thanks.
These engine overhauls are getting expensive
