Yes it requires hydraulics.

Known issue, fixed in upcoming update. Thanks for the report!

Please post a Log.txt that includes the crash. Thanks.

Maybe it’s scrollwheel and click/drag together that’s custom? Either way, been discussed during development, same answer.

I am told Yes.

If you’re thinking of what FF did in the A320 then I believe those are entirely custom manipulators and not something X-Plane provides so I wouldn’t hold your breath for this option coming in the future, but you never know.

An update to the software is in the works, a fix for this issue will be included.

Thanks. Multi monitor issues have been reported to the developer. Please follow the below thread for updates.

I’m sure they have 1802 in their archives. It’s old enough I imagine they would be able to get permission to make it publicly accessible for planning. Maybe @chroode should open a thread on Navigraph’s forum.

I’ll pass it on and hopefully will be considered for a future update when the pop up feature is looked at again. Thanks for the suggestion!

Unknown at this time.

I think that’s Cycle 2003 vs. Year 2018, they’re not directly comparable. If you want to know what cycle is in use by X-Plane’s default nav data you can check the files in Resources/default data (if I remember correctly). The header will say the cycle number. You may be able to change Simbrief to match.

What we’ve been told, and this is from a small number of operators but it sounds reasonable to me, is that if the principal owner is onboard then an attendant isn’t necessary (though they may want one anyway, if they had guests, for example) unless the flight is transatlantic (if I remember correctly). However, if it’s charter passengers then an attendant will usually be there to help them with any questions, service, and well, to make sure they behave.

When a cabin attendant is not onboard the pilots have a version of the panel on their iPads hooked into the cabin WiFi. For now this can be emulated by using the pop up, available via key bind.

It uses X-Plane 11’s Custom Data. Process for enabling in the sim is in the FMS Primer document.

Unfortunately that may be an error in the document (we are checking), of the two I know that Fin Number is supported. The location in Simbrief is highlighted in the primer document. It may or may not be part of the OFP format you use. That’s up to you, but it’s not necessary if everything is working correctly with the uplink. If you mean in Simbrief, then no.

This specific issue has been fixed by the developer and will come with the first update. Thanks for helping improve the product!

You can refer to my Honeycomb Bravo profile to see which I’ve been using with success. Feel free to post a more useful Xsaitekpanels configuration to the forum and I will feature it.

It is currently not possible to make the multi panel display work for autopilot data. The knob may work if the correct default commands are used.

Could you post a Log.txt please so we can get your specific desktop arrangement, thanks.

Are you familiar with DataRefTool? If so can you see if your hardware is somehow overriding the dataref for battery/avionics that Xsaitekpanels is using? It sounds like it’s being forced off, but just a guess. My .ini specifically disables the battery switch on the Saitek so I haven’t tested this scenario.

I tested my ini again with latest beta and the radios work fine (both com and nav, even one of the ADFs!). That panel turns on when the main battery is on. I suspect you have another issue, such as with USB power management (Google it). But I'll try to test in the retail version just in case there was a regression before release.

There’s a workaround for the issue with xPilot but unless other addons correctly set the “weight on wheels” dataref for TCAS if/when this workaround is removed they’re going to have problems again. You’ll have to speak to the authors of those addons.

Using the menus should allow checklist to be reset, including F/O.

That’s a pretty common baseline these days tbh.
