tADEUS73 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 Hi, thanks for all of the improvements Some small details I have noticed: 1. The carb temp indicator still teleports around a lot like before 2. The AP disconnect button no longer disconnect the AP but enables the Avitab (the normal planned Avitab Hotspot above and to the right also works)

Re 2, I will look into that, odd. Thanks for letting me know

Re-download new installer file and run it. Thanks for the report!
chemanuel Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Hi!, One of the beauties of this airplane is the sound!, The new re-mixed sounds (or values changed) seems a little distorted on the inside (a bit on the lower end... I am a Sound engineer myself ) and the prop flapping noise which is very unique to this plane apparently have been reduced now, is like inside the engine rumble. This sound is loud inside the real plane (I've flown it). Is there a possibility to revisit the sounds? Or a way to have the old sounds back?... (Like re-installing the old version/files)? The prop flapping was great in the old version. Panel lighting is now great!, and yes carb needle is jumping like crazy Great job... is getting better! Chemanuel Edited June 14, 2020 by chemanuel

sar102010 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 Hello, I have the same problem with the BN2. The switches in the main panel cannot be switched. The yoke and leveler can be moved with the mouse and the joystick. Greetings Christian Log.txt
Cameron Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Posted June 14, 2020 @prattpt6 @sar102010 Easiest way to diagnose this is to do a search for Error Code = 126 in your log.txt file. In this instance, please follow the documentation here to resolve: https://torquesim.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/topic/b6d622a0-61d2-4ce0-9ccb-205f4b5ecbc1/article/128188431

Anthony No bezels on either GTN when they pop out for me either. Also my 650 pops out on the right of screen and is stuck there. I cannot drag it anywhere. Other than that and the small faults pointed out above, I just did a 2 hour flight and the new version was fantastic to fly. A big thank you again to the hard work of the developers. The new manual with the performance tables is far better to.

Hi I just checked the GTN.ini file the problem is the "nobezel" is set wrong, Backup the original file first RealityXP.GTN.ini search for "nobezal and set to false. Only change the [GTN_750_1.WINDOW] and [ GTN_650_2.WINDOW] section of the file not the Panel one don't alter[GTN_750_1.PANELS] or the [GTN_650_2.PANELS] works fine now 2
