February 18, 20224 yr I wish they could make the condition lever axis movement like detents (0% Co, 50% Li, 100% Hi). Having to use the Mixture axis makes it hard to hit low idle detent since it was almost at fuel cut-off, which I've hit a couple times... 🤪🤪🤪 Edited February 18, 20224 yr by Pivot Regards,Pivoti9-10900k * 64Gb Ram * MSI RTX 4070 Ti Gaming X Trio * Steel Series Arctis Pro Wireless Headset * Win11 Home x64 * Beam ET * TM Warthog Combo, Honeycomb Alpha & Saitek Pro-Rudders

February 19, 20224 yr &^%%$^#E^%$%& ! I just finally finished my type certification and final checkride in this SWS Kodiak in preparation for a 30 day trek into the Caribbean. Now I have to wait for the update and complete another checkride! LOL!

February 19, 20224 yr What makes me wonder is the timing of this update. With SU8 in beta and new optional prop physics available that would offer possible big improvements if implemented by the devs. But no word about that. Just wondering... Cheers T.
February 19, 20224 yr Regarding the performance issue with the backup instrument. Was that done with a previous update I missed? Or maybe they still haven't attended to it? I understand there a two workarounds - using the default Asobo instrument or pulling the breaker, but it would be nice if they could just fix it themselves or even include the default Asobo one in their config for now, as I guess we will have to adjust the panel files again anyway after this update.

February 19, 20224 yr I can't see an update coming out before SU8. I thought I had read that the next update would coincide with the amphib version anyway.

SWS probably already had the SU8 update, and had been working with it.
