What happens at altitude?  Will the engine produce enough power?  It may be set internally as a workaround due to the word not allowed Asobo turbocharger limitation.

You can see it on screen below

 

Before latest build I could achieve the same thing but carefully leaning mixture using EGT gauges. Right now mixture act as conditioner on or off position. I can only cut each engine but otherwise no matter what position they are there is no effect on EGT.

Here screen with lean mixture EGT is the same

Yeah - it was intentionally like that so you don't have to keep leaning.  Normally in this plane you'd not really touch the mixture until FL210 where you'd have to start leaning due to critical altitude of the turbos.

I mean either way it's not realistic unfortunately due to Asobo limitation.  I personally would prefer to have control of the levers but some people may not....especially people who are new to the sim and may not understand anything about the mixture levers.

Does the aircraft save engine hours? Is there at least some degree of persistence right now or planned to be added with future updates?

I'd like to know that, too. At least panel state (button, switches, fuel etc.) needs to be saved for any superior add-on. This is the only thing keeping me from buying this, even though I'm usually flying tubes only...

I would prefer if they gave a choice. I personally prefer leaning

Agreed it’s an either or. In this case I prefer the “auto-mixture” software switch because even tho it’s not quite real in practice, the outcome is improved.

Much simulation is a compromise of GGI v real physics. Think trim and trim wheel. In IRL trim wheel is spun until you get the tactic feedback from the yoke with release of back pressure needed. In sim land no such feedback so we achieve our desired outcomes  using other methods

Both are valid, just different realities.

Yes and no. One can fly airplane IRL just using rudder, throttle and elevator trim and it will be very similar to sim

Actually, believe it or not, English IS the official language of both the U.S. as well as the FAA and global aviation in general. But that's NOT the point.

If you're choosing to do business where the vast majority of your customers are English speaking/reading and you are communicating to them then yea I expect reasonable English from that business. Call me old fashioned, or disagree with me but I couldn't care less. If I choose to do business in a country where the official language is Spanish then you better believe I'd make sure I could effectively communicate there.

Besides, I didn't see the written instructions in question as a language barrier issue, tbh...I saw it as pure laziness and nothing else since the owner speaks and understand our language just fine and even if he didn't write the memo himself there is something called spell and grammar checks, which obviously were not used before sending it out.

As a paying customer I don't want to squint my eyes after reading instructions and think to myself "offensive initials not allowed?" after reading a memo regarding a product I just purchased, and then have to take the time to re-read it a couple more times to make sure I'm not misunderstanding something. it just annoys me, that's all.

Didn't realize a federal case would be made over such an obvious oversite. but then again, I'm not at all surprised either 🙂

I believe this may well be a case of Muphry's Law.

You love to see it.

Well I “IRL” flew for many years and yes I agree that your premise is feasible I find the statement that it will be “very similar to sim” much less plausible.

Well, opinions are like..we all got em!

This method It works for my students "in need". So you basically trim for airspeed which also works great withing MSFS. But my method I'm not as extremes as Rod Machado's. He actually train some of his student to land with simulated control malfunction. 

Anyone know how to fix the zoomed in cockpit view? When I start its very zoomed into the panel... don't have to adjust zoom for any other plane except this one.

What happens if you change the position by setting it in the sim from the menu?  I can't recall where that setting is though.  Maybe under Cameras?

There is already an improved camera mod for this bird.  Go to flightsim.to and search for the phrase 414, you will see a "Better Cameras" mod for download that you can put on your community folder. 

I modified the mod a little further to be a tad lower and not quite so zoomed out, but its way better than stock.

All sorted, I just copied the initial zoom values from the Kodiak in the Camera.0 section to the 414. All working perfectly now, lets see what this thing is made of. Might have something to do with my trackIR I recently purchased and installed. 

How’s the update guys? Big improvements ?
