Duct Tape

Well done. 😁

I've seen that reported as well, but I haven't seen it here either, even after some pretty long flights - except once, when I realized that the key I bound to the ATT mode when held was double-bound to something else, and I was changing myself into ATT mode without realizing it.  Next time you see this, can you make sure ALT mode is still annunciated on the autopilot panel on the forward panel?  Make sure it hasn't somehow changed to ATT.

Thanks. That fixed it. Switch off ATT and alt hold works fine.

I've been flying the Aerostar throughout the beta and every new update is really welcomed.  A great addon in a great sim!

Same here! Fantastic plane! I have been flying it a lot. But I would really love to know if A2A is going to provide the option for VR/Monitor in Advanced Options like they have in the Comanche. I discovered that the monitor renders turbulence similar to the Comanche, but it doesn’t translate as well in VR in the Aerostar. That option would make a big difference to us VR users. Now off to fly with the update!

So glad about this update! 

Tired to always think about my powerbank 

I'm so used to the original now that I would feel a bit odd flying any of these  - 

How did you guys bind steering switch?

I use FSUIPC and a rocker switch on my yoke. One part of the switch is assigned to STEERING_INC the other part is STEERING_DEC

Both of those are assigned to STEERING_SET on release.

If you using the sim's controls they're the same but you need to assign another button to STEERING_SET (unless there's a way of doing the 'On release' thing.

I DO hope that helps. Reading it back, I'm not so sure it will. 😕

Here’s a great video posted a few years back by A2A. They really nailed the finicky start-up in their virtual rendition. And if anyone thinks the interior looks too worn in the sim, it looks almost new compared to the real one A2A had.

 

I finally bought this over the weekend, and I had trouble starting the engines.  That video makes me feel a little better about my struggles 🙂

I doubt if anyone thinks that. It's pristine! I've asked if they would at least make it look as though the seats have been sat on at least once!
