Autopilots a bit odd. Alt arm is INOP.

Yeah spotted that, it still seems to stop at the selected altitide but I'm not quite sure what's going on there 🙂

Fuel pumps are inop? Yokes always visible?

Nice aircraft. First impression is good. Great potential. I have the impression it is a bit too small. Would be intertested in a size comparison to the Milviz Corsair.

Switches on panel near yoke hub hide the yokes, fuel pumps work fine.

There are switches either side of the Pilot's yoke (marked Yoke Vis I think) to turn them on an off.

Thank you, found it.

The fuel pump switches only move when master battery is on.

I got it, It actually quite not bad. Spinning cap animation kind of weird. Sound nice by uniform around airplane. There is no difference how airplane sound outside behind or in the front. Autopilot is default hence "alt arm" doesn't work. Definitely step up for BlackBox

 

Also can't find manual! What are the power settings? LOL

Switching on the AP it's at vertical speed mode. That cannot be switched off. Just a toogle between altitude hold and vs mode is possible.

My assessment is that it isn't too bad for the money but there is room for improvement. Too many switches and systems are INOP and the cockpit textures are poor.

I can switch off altitude hold (so it does not go to VS instantly) using a hardware switch in FSUIPC.

Hobbs meter is inop.

Few more disappointing things :

- propeller won't feather

- questionable single engine performance

Hi...anybody got any idea how to switch the altimeter to mb....I tried changing the units inside of the SIM but no luck...had a nightmare on VATSIM just having to do conversions from inches to mb!!

 

I spoke to Blackbox earlier about the non working transponder mode button and they said it's on the fix list. It seems to be defaulted to on and mode C and works fine on VATSIM.

Hmmm... sometimes I really wonder what's so difficult in testing an aircraft before it finally goes on sale.

But anyway, I'm sure BlackBox will fix things.

Review on the way shortly, just rendering it from Premiere Pro, then I'll be uploading. About an hour or so with a bit of luck. Tic toc...
