Thank you for the feedback. I dont understand the behaviour.

If they had a toggle switch so that the deice contraption could be optional, that would be great. 

That would be a welcomed option, it’s really the only thing stopping me from flying it.

I am not sure why you encountered this problem because I have just flown EGBE to EBOS on AP using NAV following VOR stations and did an ILS landing, everything worked as it should. I have only owned the Seneca a few days and am very pleased with it.

The Seminole has the same auto pilot and I have done around  70 flights so far with it, using the AP, and have never had any problem at all, best AP in MSFS so far.

Staying on the sidelines until the Milviz 310R arrives...

@fppilot I have the Milviz 310R Redux. Do you have any info on whether the MSFS version will have a properly working KAP140 and circuit breakers?

No!  No idea!

I have become something of an airplane collector since MSFS came out. 

@Azapata87This was a big problem for me in P3D. I ended up with too many planes.

I'm missing Lorby-SI's WAMA (Where Are My Airplanes) in MSFS which was available in prior versions of MSFS (eg P3D).

The TBM 930 has so many nice free liveries now that it would be really nice to just line them up parked in an airport and enjoy the beauty of livery art.

I also miss the ability to examine plane liveries by rotating the planes while in the airplane selection screens.

Is the TBM a twin, or am I confused?

Sorry. No it's not a twin. I am kinda out-of-topic here.  I replied in the context of someone mentioning buying a Seminole but having too many planes, and how best 'd enjoy having too many planes. 🙂

The Seneca should have the same autopilot as the Seminole, which I fly.  What I do is set the VS I want, prior to engaging  the AP on toggle switch. Hit VS, turn the knob to get the rate you want, I use around 1,000 fpm ascending, and then climbing away from the airport, I engage the AP toggle switch, and it climbs at 1,000 fpm. 

That's exactly how I use VS AP in the Seneca. Works well for me...

I cannot confirm or deny that. 

About your rotating view question...you can go to the hangar and open any plane/livery there and check them out.

The problem with that as far as I know is we only get to see the front view AND only after the plane livery is loaded.  Is there a way to view the plane livery from the side and the top too?

Yeah go to the hangar and pan around it with your mouse or peripheral buttons.

Is that not what the "Hangar" is for?

I bought the Seneca for nostalgia. I've spent a couple hundred hours up in a Saratoga and later a Seneca II (7 seats with the optional center seat).

 

For some reason, the AP gets stuck in ALT mode when I try picking VS on my Honeycomb Bravo. I hit VS, it registers for less than a second, then flips right back to ALT. Also can't turn off ALT unless you're on APR. I'm quite curious if anyone's figured out a fix yet for the AP controls (excellent that they're a 90% match for the Bravo's AP), to get VS to lock in instead of having to push VS a few times while turning the knob to get it to climb or descent.

Also, the range is ridiculous-- about twice what the actual plane would get. The digital gauge read 11.0 GPH and it flew for almost 12 hours-- with another hour or so remaining in the fuel tanks. Cruise was between 120-130 IAS with ground speeds around 130-140. I did that in live time & weather. My best guess is unfamiliar avionics and that I setup a super-long-range cruise enabled by the less than ideal engine/cruise simulation coding on Asobo/Microsoft's part.

Unless I'm missing a procedure or something, the MSFS Hangar can't do the same thing one can do in P3D like this:
