Hi, first of all thanks for the great aircraft. I have a lot of fun flying it. One thing I noticed is the absence of the fan noise when turning on the electric master again after previously having it turned off. Steps to reproduce: 1. Load the DA40 cold and dark 2. Turn on the master switch 3. Start the engine (let it run for approx. 10 seconds) 4. Shut down the engine 5. Turn off the master switch 6. Turn on the master switch Expected behavior: Hearing the fan noise again Actual behavior: No fan noise audible Note that just turning the electric master on -> off -> on without starting the engine inbetween leads to the expected behavior: The fan noise is audible (Although the "start up" phase of the fans seems to be missing). Now that I've tried it again, I did get a fan sound after only having the engine running for a very short time. Turning the master off and on again resulted in fan noise for about half a second followed by a spool down sound after which no more fan sounds can be heard, no matter what I do. Could the issue be timing-related? I would appreciate if you could look into this as sound is an important factor for immersion in my opinion.

Update: The ATS works just fine with non-persistent mode. The ATS FAIL is there as soon as I turn on the APU GENs. I will just use a new airframe for tonight. I have the old one saved in case someone wants to debug further, but as long as the new one works, the issues is resolved for me. Thanks again for your help.

Sure, I'll check my key binding for the TOGA, try in non-persistent mode and make another video if the behavior still shows then. Thanks for your help so far, everyone!

So pressing the buttons at the front of the throttles to clear the FAIL message and then pressing the TOGA button on the throttles? That didn't work for me...

I set up the plane as I usually would and made a short video showing the cockpit state at the point ATS is mentioned in the after start checklist.

TO was set if that's what you meant. Anything else to look for?

Just wanted to fly the Challenger after some time and after engine start, I can't get the ATS to work (neither the small green light nor the ATS screen is lighting up). I've followed the check lists for cockpit preparation and engine start. Any idea what I could be missing?

Great to hear this bug is already known. Which one of the 2 is the more accurate then?

I noticed that the TTGs shown on the PFD (in the section with info for the current waypoint) and the MFD (section with the next few waypoints) differ (see attached screenshot). How can that be explained? Are they using different speeds to calculate the time to go?

That's basically how I've been doing it as well. I will continue doing so then. Thanks.

I've completed a few flights in the 650 now, but I'm never sure when to install or remove the nose gear pin. Obviously it should happen while HYD 3A is on, but at what part in the checklist should I do that? What's your procedure?
