Haven't heard of anyone else having problems but unfortunately for me it has been over a year since I ordered my software. After numerous emails and advice that the software had been resent I have still not received anything. Maybe it was stolen, lost or mailed incorrectly, I don't doubt the genuine intentions of the vendors apart from lack of responses to my emails to their support dept. Below is a pic of my order from over a year ago now !!

Hi AJ The props should be indicating that they are in Beta mode when on the ground with the power levers below Flt Idle position and the prop blade angles are below ~+8 deg. I am still waiting to get my issue of the software and I may be able to better answer some of questions if and when it arrives Cheers

Hi FloB. The condition lever position doesn't achieve anything regardless of where it is in the Min/Max range on the ground. The propellers are maintained at a minimum rpm of 1040 by the bottom governor and will only increase above that speed when the power levers are moved either forward or aft to a point where such a load is applied that the bottom governor senses that it may not be able to maintain the minimum rpm and blade load and directs* more fuel to the engine which results in an increase in both Ng and prop rpm. When taxying after initial movement the aircraft will tend to continue to accelerate unless you inhibit its progress by retarding the power levers to control forward speed. On down slope taxiways you will also need to use the brakes to maintain a constant taxi speed. (*how this is done is an enormous topic in itself) My 2 cents worth. Cheers.

The service ceiling is 31000 ft. Refer to AOM 2, 29/2, page 1.

The aircraft is certified to 31000' but can only be operated to 25000' with passengers as it has no drop down oxygen masks, ferry flights up to 31000'. They can be fitted to the corporate version and the 31000' is then applicable with passengers.

A number of serious errors of varying types associated with the video above if you have a double gen failure, three main items below. 1. the left side altimeter and vsi shouldn't be working 2. the autopilot shouldnt be working 3 a number of other busses should have dropped off line Why do you select the CTOT on for landing ? With 100% set on the dial you will suddenly get 100% power on both engines with the power levers above the 64 deg position and within 20% of what is preset on the dial, also you will think you have just had a double engine failure when you retard them as the CTOT cuts out. Those switches should only ever be on for take-off and if you go around from a landing so that you get the power you have preset on the dial without exceeding any parameter limits, ie similiar to a takeoff without the ground roll bit.
