I can only see the AFE tablet menu changed, not much else

Support is fantastic from PMDG. I think we’ve had 4 updates already. Pretty long list of fixes and improvements.

But somethings were broken by the updates. After this mornings update, engine quit on taxi to runway, then all 4 Autofeather lights came on. Had to close down MSFS.

Did you check the PMDG forums?

Been working with them for three days. About 5 of us are having the same issue.

Bummer. I am sure they will fix it quickly but still sucks when these things come up.

I think we have figured out the problem. If you increase the manifold pressure beyond 26, and then reduce it, the auto feather picks that up as an engine problem and feathers the prop. So I have to be careful when taxiing not to give it too much throttle. 

 

 

 

Just did a flight after the patch and I think the FPS problem might have gone away. Either that or the flight was a lucky one.

Interesting.  Will have to try it out next time I have the time.  The last time, as I was taxiing on the runway, engines 1, 2 and 3 all quit!  What you're saying makes sense.
