So, I bought the BS KingAir over the weekend.  Flies great...incredible systems depth.  But, as far as I can tell, there's no way to program a lot of this functionality into hardware switches.  It seems there's a lot of fly by mouse.  That's a huge shame since, for many of those checklist pre-takeoff items, you really need that.  Without it, I'd probably tend to fly this airplane as a "start with engines running" airplane....which defeats the entire purpose of all that depth.  I'll be watching carefully about the Baron in the same way.  If I can't assign any of the nice stuff to hardware, it's unlikely that I'd get them which is sad to say.

What kind of hardware do you have? With the Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo, the only switches that don't work are the battery, gen and avionics master that do not work (without using outside help, such as axis and ohs). On the other hand, they all work on the Bonanza.
