Vacuum and avionics don't enable when using saitek panel
Before and after trying the suggestion to get the master switch to work with my Saitek panels I find when I load the 172 with SPAD running and the panels enabled none of the avionics will come one despite where the switch is set to, and my vacuum system is stuck off (0 on suction gauge and yellow wa...

Re: Wings of Silver C-46 Commando?
Unfortunately the website video is region locked like pretty much any online video these days (for once it's Canadians that get to see it mind you) but it will be distributed to other networks much like Ice Road Truckers is, if you get that show in the UK you should eventually get this one also. It'...

Wings of Silver C-46 Commando?
I've always wanted to see a detailed C-46 Commando in FS, it's a unique transport plane still in use up in the Canadian North, and is now featured on the new TV show "Ice Pilots" http://www.icepilots.com/fleet_c46.php I'd absolutely love to see one modelled by A2A, seems it would nicely me...

Autopilot
:shock: Yes I know, I'm committing a crime using autopilot in a Cub here but bear with me lol... Anyways I have the Saitek Pro Multi panel which is basically an autopilot panel plus trim and flap controls. I use autopilot for parts of the cruise in most of my flights so I can get some reading done (...

Any way to cheat Nav Hold?
Can you use the keyboard command or another method to make the 377 autopilot use Nav Hold / GPS? Yes I know this isn't realistic and all that but for some of the longer trips it could be nice, personal preference thing.

Re: A Question About Oil Qty After SP1
I believe you should only fill them up to 24 gallons and that the extra 10 gallon capacity is to leave room for expansion as the engines warm up. Could be wrong.

Re: How do you deal with a stubborn engine?
Nothing at first, once airborne there was a message "we have some engine troubles" nothing more - temps were all fine, oil level was fine, on landing I checked the maintenance and it said the engine was in good condition. I had the same thing last flight and even did an overhaul. The engin...

Re: Oil dillution system...
Ok the first problem must be that my central oil tank was stone cold when I tried it, hence the lack of temp change. So I take it i refill it with warm oil from the pop up windows first - then start oil dilution, hold it while the temps go up? How long should it take to do 4 tanks?

Oil dillution system...
How do you use the oil dilution system? I flipped the 4 engine switches on, held the switch but only saw a 3 degree temp rise or so. There's not much in the main manual other than what the switches do.
Do you dillute one engine at a time? How long do you hold the main toggle switch for?
