Thanks, Byemoonmen.
Your post made me look at a couple of things and I have now solved it.
Yes, I was using the right mouse button to move around but the problem was that I had the option “CLOSE” set under General Options: Cameras: Cockpit Camera Selection. Setting that back to “WIDE ANGLE” gives me the same view that you have. Thanks for being the catalyst that helped me fix it! (useful video by the way…)
I am not sure if we are talking about the same things here. Lowering the engine RPM, by reducing the prop levers and thus increasing prop pitch which will result in a lower RPM for a given manifold pressure, will normally result in lower cylinder temperatures.
Leaning the mixture will result in higher cylinder temps because you are lowering the amount of fuel in the mixture. That fuel would otherwise help to lower cylinder temps. It might be worth a shot to fly at a lower engine RPM setting and see if that helps your cylinder temps and thus reduces the amount of engine failures.
I have only one thing to say about that: hypoxemia.
Ops, sorry, my fault: I read RPM and I thought “MIXTURE”… I don’t understand why… maybe I was yearning to discover a fix for that issue 
. Yes of course I lowered the RPM but the temp didn’t change at all.
Wow. That is really strange and I find it very interesting that we can all fly the same aircraft and have very different outcomes! Hopefully you can find out the cause and get to enjoy some stress-free flying!
I’ve been in the air over Teeterboro for an hour trying to do the tutorial radio navigation flight and I can’t for the life of me get anything out of the radio. Not a single beep and I’ve been all over the frequency range. All fuses look okay. I don’t have a clue.
You did flick the switch “c.w.” to “on” on the radio panel? And you turned the volume up?
Also checked audio sliders in msfs?
Can you get radio stations playing (with c.w. off…)?
Yes on the “CW”
Volume is up
No on the radio stations.
I have heard the beep in prior flights but now that I want it it’s nowhere to be found. I’m going to land and retry.
Avionics master ON?
Yes. Well I think so. The bus 1 switch on my Alpha turns on the Radio Power button in the cockpit so I assume that’s what you’re calling Avionics. I don’t see any specific Avionics switch anywhere in the cockpit. I’m not doing anything (that I am aware) differently than how I’ve been flying but for whatever reason I still have no radio after even after a restart of the flight. Maybe I need to exit the sim and start the whole process over. Will try that later. Thanks for the replies.
Ok so you need power 1) battery ON, 2) Avionics master 3) Radio unit power on.
Also, all fuses must be good (both fuse boxes) and enough power in battery or alternators providing power.
Avionics master is here:
Yes to all. Battery, Master Avionics (Radio Power) and Radio On (overhead) and as far as I can tell all fuses appear good. I’ll try again later. Thanks again for the replies.
Remember due to state saving the position of switches in the cockpit does not always correlate to where the sim thinks they are set. If in doubt always click the switch off and on again to be sure.
I know you said all switches are on but just in case your hardware is linked to the wrong buttons:
I had the same issue which was driving me crazy… then I realised I was doing my flights without the master power red pullswitch being on. The one above the throttles. Try using that instead of hardware just to see if your assignments are correct. I only noticed this when it started getting dark and my lights weren’t helping in the struggle to work the radio!
Yes, for some reason I see a lot of people missing this important button.
Everytime I do not complete a flight that ends with a Cold&dark checklist, I always make sure that on the next startup, i gotta flip ALL switches TWICE to reset them even if they appear in the OFF state.
I’m okay with this. You reap what you sow lol.
Yes. That red pullswitch is the battery and it is definitely on. One of my earlier flights I did forget to enable it on my Alpha and the landing gear would not retract. I did the manual retract before I realized what the problem was.
I do believe that my problem is either with the keybinds or within the MSFS settings themselves somehow got screwed up. I will try an exclusive 247D proflle for the Alpha starting with a blank slate and see where that leads.
@GMVitus Dear Otmar, after having solved the problems with my Wing42 store account - at, and for about a week after release I never got a confirmation mail, nor PW reset mails, so I couldn’t access my account to purchase your plane (all good now 
) - I have to say…:
YOU ARE A LEGEND!! This plane is a true work of art. Thank you! 
So not sure what was causing my issue but this morning, after a fresh start, the radio beacon is working. I did a local flight and was able to intercept local TACAN. I was not however able to bring in any music stations even though it appeared in LNM that I was well within range of several. I still may not be using the tuner properly but I tried every band and scanned every frequency on the dial and nothing. I will spend more time in the manual but I am sure enjoying the hand flying and constant adjustments needed to keep those big radials happy. I am really looking forward to future updates from Wing42 to get all these temp and pressure parameters closer to reality but regardless, it is still nothing but fun to fly.
Did you switch CW to ON for the music?
