Be aware that attempting to turn the hydraulics on while in flight will not work,  you will still be required to turn on the hydraulics after landing.

That's fine as long as I can eventually do this via key command; otherwise it's kind of distracting after touchdown trying to find and set the 3D tiller control (I'm all for realism in XP, but not at the cost of usability/safety to my passengers :)

No, you cannot map the condition levers to a button.  This can, and should, only be controlled by an axis controller, not an on-off button or switch.  I'm not even sure how you are getting that to work with the throttle levers.

I misspoke here; I have the throttle levers mapped to an axis, but use two spare buttons for prop control (forward-a-bit/back-a-bit) on all my other payware aircraft. I am again unclear as to why assigning prop control to an axis should be the case. But having the button option is important because I don't have a super-fancy joystick with endless amounts of axis controls -- it has only enough axes to control the flight surfaces (pitch/roll/yaw) plus throttle. In any case, not a huge deal as on the 340 I've grown accustomed to doing this manually (using the mouse/3D levers).

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the hydraulics for the nose wheel steering are turned off automatically after takeoff.  Therefore, the hydraulics will be disabled upon landing requiring you to turn them on.

 

There is currently no command to do this. I have added a new command to do this, which will be part of the next update.  Be aware that attempting to turn the hydraulics on while in flight will not work,  you will still be required to turn on the hydraulics after landing.

that's a thought, Jim. Thank's.
