Yak 18T avionics/instruments don't turn on

Hello everyone, my radio, nav and adf do not work, they should light up when I switch on the battery and the generator!

I don’t have this plane, so I can’t check, but its possible the radios have to be turned on individually.

This video seems to suggest you don’t need to turn the radios on:

Are all of your other switches off? You mention you have the battery and generator on. I might be mistaken, but battery and generator are direct-current (DC) and the instruments might expect AC. For alternate current to reach the instruments you need to turn on the PO-250 and/or PT-200 transformers. Respectively, they provide 115V and 36V power.

Normally this aircraft loads in on the ramp with both transformers on, so for me hitting the battery turns nearly everything on including the radio.

Check this video of the real thing: At the timestamped location, you’ll see some instruments such as the ADI only come alive when he flips the PT-200, second switch from the left on the copilot’s side bottom panel: https://youtu.be/asy3zniZxx4?t=178

Hello,
I have the same issue, it’s only the display which doesn’t run well! Using MCA: flightsim.to/file/2828/msfs-mobile-companion-app you can mange the frequencies.
I bought it on the MSFS market and I am very upset.

  • Problem with radio.
  • Taxing this aircraft is very strange.
  • The front wheel doesn’t rotate

It’s a petee , this aircraft can be very versatile.

Wish that Nemeth B. do something quicky.

For me is the FPS drop that is most annoying and the fact that they did not updated this on the marketplace yet, but seem to have a new version (that fixes fps and taxing) on other markets. If they fix these minor issues + the flaps/gear sounds, this have potential to be an excellent addon.

The update will make it to the Marketplace. That thing always lags behind. They may have already submitted it.

Noticed their silent update, has the following notes:

Changelog v1.0.1

  • Performance drop when rolling on grass or dirt surfaces fixed
  • Front wheel turn rotation error fixed

I don’t know if the performance drop I experienced is the same one, it happened even in the air though it did seem to usually start on the ground. Front wheel does now rotate so that’s 1/3 on your list @JeremyBlois41 , hope more get fixed soon

I’ve issued a chargeback through PayPal. If I can get a refund, I’ll just get it through SimMarket. I like the plane but man they are bad at customer service.
