Die Landelichter sind am Tag nicht sichtbar und bei Dunkelheit nur ein weißes Licht  Der Sound ist nach dem Update deutlich besser. Vielen Dank 

The landing lights are not visible during the day and only a white light in the dark. The sound is much better after the update. Thanks a lot

I've been working through a G5 issue over in this thread. I just uploaded some screen shots of the issue occurring.

With the help of @airwar it is now resolved.

Hi Guys,

Many thanks for the update. Great to see devs commitment to getting everything right.

Some small issues still remain,

1. External sounds when using headphones are also muted (not sure if that is a feature or bug)

2. Internal passenger signs (top right of overhead panel) dont appear to work

3. Mag switches dont impact on engine performance (again not sure if this is a feature)

4. Ingratiation with Saitek Switch Panel (not sure if you can help) most aircraft afaik work with this switch panel, battery, lights etc. The switches work but dont move anything inside the cockpit.

5. Landing lights and beacon dont seem to work during day time

Not sure if this is just isolated to my setup but I thought Id share.

The sounds are much better now. 

 

Thanks again and looking forward to the next update

Not sure if its related but I can see that the Real View plugin is causing all sorts of errors...

Maybe try disable that first and see what happens. Also, try binding a different key to set parking brake to see if that rules out a click spot...

I did the mag test during start-up and RPM was dropping when turning them off one by one. Do you mean something else?

Thanks for the feedback, It might be a glitch with my saitek panel. Ill disconnect it and see what happens...

Thank you for the prompt response.

Removed Real View plugin. Result is the same. 

Also, don't know if it is important, but when I apply the foot brakes, the pedals don't move forward in a smooth motion. They jump forward and back.

Don't know if the brakes work, since I have not started the aircraft because of the Parking Brake issue.

Most likely the chocks are engaged, check on the side tab menu to make sure the chocks are removed. 

[jc55jc]

Hi Coop,

Thanks for the response.

You are right, when I disengage the chocks the Parking Brake lever can be moved and responds to both mouse and key commands..

What threw me off was that before the update, the Parking Brake was in the ON position by default.

You guys are the best.

Thanks.

Can somebody that knows how the Carb temperature and carb heater work take a look? I did kind of feel wrong when I was flying, but I have compared it now with the SF260. There the carb temperature actually drops with adding engine power (maybe because more air is moved by the propeller inside the engine?) but only up to a point after that the temperature starts rising with adding thrust. And it's actually the same for the BN-2, only that in the BN-2 the gauge does something crazy, when it comes to the moment that the temperature stops going down and should start to rise with adding thrust it suddenly jumps to the other side of the icing zone. Also, at least a small delay in the reaction to adding heat might look better.

 

That saying, I have no idea how it works in reality, maybe that's what the BN-2 does

Another small bug. The crashbar for the power and  gen switches  is always up when you reload the plane. I always put it down when shutting down after a flight.
