After installing the latest SP, the aircraft is getting there, but not quite. Here's a few more bugs I found during testing.

This has already been submitted to JF support, I just wanted to get some feedback to make sure I'm not crazy.

1. There are many functional light controls (glareshield, overhead, floods, etc.) but only one functional switch for all interior lights; this gets quite annoying clicking a bunch of switches that do nothing then suddenly one switch turns everything on.

2. Still too much thrust needed to taxi; the aircraft just feels like it's trying to get out of a pit of quicksand when trying to taxi it. Hard to explain, just doesn't feel right.

during taxi I had the same problem, but Martin from support wrote me, they are working on it. In my case the Saitek Pedals are the reason and I get a fire warning before take off because the breaks are not off during taxi. I tried to change the settings with/without FSUIPC and the calibration in FSX, but this didn´t help in my case.

The taxy problem is an odd one. On my system, the aircraft needs 40% N1 to get moving at max weight, then idle is enough. However, it appears that for others that same set of files need upwards of 70% N1 to get moving. I've made an 'educated guess' in adjusting the relevant parameters (gets me up to take off speeds at idle but gets others moving at around the correct figure) and hopefully that update will sort out the problem for those who currently need large amounts of thrust to taxy.

Just checked my orders and I saw there is an update, download now version 103.
Thanks to the developers, they work hard and fast.

You shouldn't need 70% N1 to start moving now unless you are in an overweight aircraft (e.g. the RAF K1/KC1 default payload). If that isn't the case, please drop the support team an e-mail.

thks, I will try again in the evening. Maybe I changed to many with FSUIPC and I reset it first before new tests.

Martyn, as I said earlier, it is in the .air file. I tried the original .air file in the Pro and the stuck brakes go away.

Flying very well now I can taxi to runway and take off. Have done my first auto landSmile
