Well, I was previously using the MODERN behavior with 2.0.1, not the legacy behavior. With that version, the 3D throttles both lifted and MOVED at the same time to match where my hardware throttle was set, so in this case leaving idle on the paddle and then pressing the command to lift the throttles moves the airplane's throttles into full reverse. With 2.0.2 however it seems like it was changed, where the 3D throttles LIFT, but they do not MOVE to where the joystick throttle is already set, which they did in the previous version. The manual itself says "the 3D levers will move to match your hardware throttle lever position." They only do this now if the throttle on the hardware is nudged as seen in the video, where in the previous version, the 3D throttles would move WITHOUT the need for me to touch my hardware throttle. Hope this clarifies it a little bit more.

I use a single paddle throttle (Logitech 3D) and previously on 2.0.1, I had no problems before as the 3D throttles would both lift and physically move themselves into the beta zone just by pressing the command I had set to lift them (I use the / key) when my hardware throttle was already set at say idle (all the way down). With 2.0.2, now the throttles only lift and MOVE when the command is HELD and the hardware throttle is nudged - the 3D throttles do not move when the command button is just pressed - they only lift. Is this intentional for this new update? I followed the manual's instructions as I did before for 2.0.1 - the only thing different is that I changed the lower limit to 0. Sorry if this is confusing, hopefully this video will explain better than I can over text. Ghost throttles basically show what I mean.

I really haven't been able to find a concise answer for this in the AFM so far, so I figured I'd ask here. What exactly is the proper way to load the fuel? I found one document stating that the main tank must always be filled first, then the outers, then the tips. However, most videos I've watched even for short flights show the real aircraft with quite a lot of fuel in the tips. Is it absolutely mandatory for them to at least have some fuel in them? Say for example I used the Simbrief profile linked in another thread here and it calculates 1300 lbs of fuel for the flight that I'm planning. By the procedure I mentioned, I would fill the main tank to the brim and then split whatever is left into the outers, and ending up leaving the tips empty. Is this correct? The default X-Plane slider instead goes in reverse, filling the tips first, then the outers, and finally the center, and I have a feeling that isn't exactly right, but I can always be wrong. Just looking for some clarity.

It appears that the transponder in the OEM version (both prop variants) appears to be somewhat incompatible with XPilot. Setting it to ALT RPTG mode goes unnoticed by the client as shown by my screenshot. I tried manually clicking the Mode C button within XPilot and it doesn't work either. Aircraft was completely powered up (engines running, avionics busses on), and the connection to XPilot was done both as a regular connection and observer connection. Recycling the transponder, reloading the aircraft, checking the options page, making sure XPilot was running as administrator, still no difference. On the other hand, the IDENT button DOES work, as I saw that the ident button within XPilot would light up when the button in the aircraft was pressed. I tested the GNS variant just to compare and none of these issues were present. Hope this will be rectified soon! Trying to get a friend of mine who's a slant-alpha maniac into this beauty... for the most part I think I'm winning him over !
