Looks and flies well, but my TDS/PMS screens are blank - work fine in all other aircraft.  When I select the TDS install, all of the screens are blank.  If I turn OFF the avionics, the co-pilots screen and the standby instruments turn on!  Logged the issue on SWS Discord.

Mine are the same despite selecting the correct version.

*User error* guess who forgot to enable the PMS/TDS in his addon linker

Somehow you always get to these first Tim hehe!  Thanks.  Will you be partaking?

Yes, I bought it a few minutes after the release. Just finished my first flight and really enjoyed it. It's a great airplane.

Downloading.. 🙂

First flight... very nice indeed!  I have been missing my P3D Baytower RV7, but this one will do nicely!

Small things.. the flaps lever does not move when I actuate it with a yoke button.  The glideslope indicator does not move on LPV landings.  Other than that, the autopilot appears to work, and hand flying the airplane feels great!

Time to read the manual (which is turned 90 degrees so I cannot read it on my PC.. have forwarded it to my tablet).

From my standpoint a a reallife RV6 Pilot:

The RV14 should be 10-20 knots faster with 22/22 at 8000ft. The sound inside the cockpit is different to an original 4 cylinder 4 Stroke Lycoming plane. More like a rotax . I love the sound of the FSX RV7 from BayTower.

Roll-rate is a little to fast. Stall is simulated very good. Drag with full Flaps is very good. I am missing EGT/CHT for all 4 cylinders (for leaning)

What are the differences between this and the free version on flighsim.to?

It's on at the right lower corner of PFD

That one doesn't have a GTN at all.  Sort of odd since the G3X isn't actually a GPS.  I think it also uses default Cessna sounds (and some Cessna gauges).  I actually liked it better when it used the g1000 NXi.  For freeware it's fine though.

There's a hotfix out now.

I think it's for a problem with the TDS version messing up the Canopy Control and Fuel Selector

Just bought and tried ... very nice model but a bit heavy about frame rate.

At least 5/6 fps less than some very complex model (H145 HPG for example).
Not so good regarding fps

Other problem : the textures ahead of the aircraft are flickering

In the Kodiak, that Standby instrument killed my frames. I always pull the breaker.
