AHA!!!  I've been using "Toggle Drone" for my external view.  I tried using "Toggle External View" instead and the control surfaces move correctly in that view as you say. 

But they don't in Drone View.  And they don't in Drone View with other aircraft too, which I haven't noticed before.  So it seems it's an MSFS issue, not an aircraft specific issue.

 Thank you for the clue I needed to suss this out 🙂

Bcs you don't control A/C in drone view - therefore ailrons/rudder won't show any movement either. Press C to active aircraft controls in drone view (and C again back to control camera - control inputs inop).

I found the rudder worked better on the ground with 1.1 vs 1.2. It wasn't great, but it was manageable.
 

MS FS 2020/2024 | 9800X3D  | 64GB DDR5 6000mhz |  ASUS ROG ASTRAL RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC EDITION   | Varjo Aero | Navigraph | VATSIM | TPR Pedals | Virpil  | Honeycomb | Winwing FCU + EFIS | Behringer X Touch Mini | SPAD.next

The only time I've seen the aircraft take a hard veer to the left or right on takeoff is the weathervane effect from a strong crosswind.

I have seen it dart to one direction or another that was unrecoverable as the rudder was not effective enough to counteract the yaw from the crosswind.

Visible rudder movement is not seen yet while in flight despite rudder inputs- the aircraft will yaw though.

Runaway props- Most noticeable when at a low manifold pressure such as on final and then execute a go around with full power.

The props won't stay at their set RPM position (in my case 2500 rpm) and will go to 3400rpm when full power is applied despite the prop rpm setting still being at the 2500 rpm I had set.

Guys, how can i regain control over the mixture levers? With the current flawed Asobo implementation i think i prefer to have control over the mixture instead of having automixture forced upon me.

I know this can be archived editing the configs so i was wondering if any of you know what setting controls this. Any hint @Bert Pieke @ryanbatc @Flysimware

Under [PISTON_ENGINE] in the engines.cfg file set fuel_air_auto_mixture = 0 .

Is anyone else having issue with the 605 autopilot not capturing glide slope on an ILS?

I did 1 successfully ILS approach (see 

I made sure I used an Airport that I know the ILS works in other A/C. Not all ILS approaches work in MSFS

Greetings, loving this plane!

I don't know if you'd consider it an issue or a lacking feature, but would it please be possible to tie the Autopilot switch on the Garmin 605 Autopilot to the "TOGGLE AUTOPILOT MASTER" command in MSFS?  This would be extremely handy on climbout & final approach and allow us to simulate the A/P disconnect button on the yoke in the real 414 per figure 20 in the FSW C414A manual, as well as match the implementation on most every other plane in MSFS.  At least at the moment it doesn't seem to be working, if it was intended to already work this way.

Or barring that, is it tied to some other command in MSFS?  

Thanks for your consideration and apologies if this may have already been reported/requested.

Thank you for that, sir 🙂  It makes perfect sense now that I know about it.

  But if you select NAV before the CDI starts to move it won't capture for some reason.  Hopefully this will get fixed so that NAV works for VOR navigation.

Strange.

I just tried this and it seems to work as expected for me. I set up an intercept heading in Heading mode to intercept the VOR course, push Nav and VOR is armed. When the CDI starts to center VOR becomes the active annunciation and the a/c captures the set VOR course. This is with the TDS version of the C414.

Stoopy, I noted this as well as binds for the Altitude setting inc/dec and HDG or NAV lock not working  either. 
 

All the MSFS A/P binds that I can use on my HOTAS in other aircraft. The ones that do work that I have noticed so far are: Flaps up/down, gear up/down and HDG bug. All these binds work ok

I don't know if it's been mentionned before but i think that the cockpit engine sound could be improved. The external one sounds good but not inside the cockpit. I've never flown on a C414 maybe that's me who is wrong. But according to videos i've watched , sounds are not the same. I already love this aircraft, i'm sure that after few updates it will be fantastic. Congratulations FSW.

Nice to know it's working correctly with the "TDS".

I hope it will be fixe for the "PMS50 GTN750".

I am debating which one to get as they are pretty close to each other.

It's always a good idea to quote what versions you are using. The latest for the 414 is 1.3 while the latest for the pms50 GTN is 2.1.21
