No doubt. Its the toughest plane I've ever had to lay out/paint and I've done a lot...some special techniques are required to get the best results. Its just not shaped like a simple tube-liner and making it "paint friendly" somewhat compromises what we can do with PBR nowadays. Liveries will come in due course...if not by others, then by me...once I have higher priority stuff in place. (GTN integration, XP12 port etc). Not like the MU2 is going away. TK

Also, I just want to say thanks for the professional and patient responses. No terse comments or belittling like I've encountered on another well-known X-Plane forum. That one seems to be run by an immature school yard bully who loves putting others down and censoring those who post things he doesn't like. I don't see any of that here. Just kind professionalism.

Me too...which is why you don't do it this way. With the AP engaged and presumably in ALT mode, simply hit SBY ...or deselect the ALT mode.....or hit ALTSEL (all 3 cancel the ALT hold mode) and then use the pitch wheel to dial in the VVI you desire....WHILE the AP is still engaged. When you achieve the rate of climb/descent you desire via the pitch wheel, then simply hit the VS mode button to hold that value. Easy peasy....sure, not quite as easy as modern copilots for sure, but neither terribly bothersome either. TK
