I don’t think I’ve ever seen an MSFS plane with standby on an ADF.

You can add the GTN750 as a replacement for the GNS530 Screen with my mod now.

Kind Regards

Perhaps the flickering is why we can’t have doors? It made zero sense why they made that decision, it’s probably an issue with the graphics method they use. I’m glad to see that we will have doors officially at some point.

And the complaints about it why we can’t have nice things :wink:

Yes… Engines cut at 6%… Just tested it… lol

Kairi at this site is very good, and I’m sure would develop a set for you if you have original recorded sounds.

Hi, I left a note below–Kairi at FSS sound.

this aircraft release in gaming store?any news that?

I have completed several flights in the aircraft & am enjoying it.
There is one aspect that I respectfully request you consider fixing, if possible, & that is the dashboard instrument bezel roundness.
As my eyesight is sub par, I tend to have to take a close up view of the instruments & have noticed that the 'round ’ bezels are not quite round, per the screenshot below.
The 2nd screen shot, for comparison, is from the MSFS Carenado Seneca, where they appear to have bezel roundness sorted out.

A couple more observations regarding lighting, and flying at night.

The strobe light appear to leak though into the cockpit, lighting up various surfaces.

The taxi light illuminates both sides of the nose. I don’t know how accurate that is.

The landing light strobe function, I imagined would strobe from off to on, or maybe alternate between left, and right. What it seems to do is dim briefly, so they are always on. Again. I couldn’t find any footage of the real aircraft at night so I have no idea how accurate that is.

At night it’s difficult, near impossible to make out some controls on instruments, especially the centre console, as it is impossible to see those at night without turning the panel light off, and using the head torch. Is there a red cabin light I have missed somewhere?

Other than that, the lights are really well done. You can see a little bit of volumetric effect on the taxi lights, but sadly none for the landing lights. Would it be possible to add that, perhaps like the landing lights but slightly larger in volume?
