Cabin Heater Problem?

[rwrice 1]

I'm having trouble with the cabin heater (the gasoline heater, not the engine heat exchangers).  More specifically, it doesn't seem to work.  Doesn't matter if engines are running or not, it doesn't make the cabin warmer.  I made sure to turn it on, battery on, airflow knobs pulled out, heater rheostat (knob under the defrost lever) turned all the way over.  Turned the cabin fans on (tried it with them off, too).  I can get the cabin warmed up with the engines running and their heat exchangers turned up, but not the cabin heater.  Anyone else have this issue?  Is it a known issue I missed?

Well, I figured my problem out.  I thought the plane's only fan switches were the ones to the right of the alternate air levers, near the air conditioner controls.  It (apparently) has two fan/blower switches.  The main one, which is clearly labeled "cabin fan", is to the immediate left of the cabin heater switch.  Couldn't see it because the vent register blocks my view of it.

Sad story for me, but figured I might as well post about it in case anyone else had the same problem.

Yes, this caught me out for 10 mins when I first installed the plane 😉

To behonest though, this "keep it in the green" mini game got old fast for me and not I just let the sprites in the back freeze 😄
