Update v1.04
I have the same problems as
mentioned above however, some problems have been mitigated by four
updates.
The following are issues that I've
discovered that still need to be corrected:
1.
The aux pumps sounds are reversed i.e., when you turn the aux pumps ON,
the pump sound shuts OFF. When you turn the aux pump OFF, the pump sound comes
ON. Update: no pump sound at all.
2.
When I shut down the Duchess, using idle cut-off, the engines continue
to run longer than normally. All my panels and throttle quadrants are Saitek
(Logitech). All switches and quadrant work when I move them as seen on
the display. All sensitivities are adjusted.
3.
Attitude Indicator indicating, although technically correct, is
confusing. This style of instrument, according to the NTSB, has caused
accidents. It shows the plane turning one way and pointer turning
the other way.
4. If I use the Duchess as a default aircraft,
when I click it, I get three black screens (I have three monitors) and then P3D shuts down. This is a common problem with A2A aircraft
and it has not been resolved. I was
told not to use those as default aircraft. Your Duchess exhibits the same
problem.
5. Once the autopilot is engaged I cannot
disengage it. I must reset the
flight. When it is working
it seems to work correctly, but
I don't have that type in the Duchess I fly. Update: the
autopilot is not working at all.
PP, multi-engine (Duchess)
instrument rating.
P.S. We are beta testers. I have the FSX version of the Duchess by Just
Flight and it workers very well. The
props do feather in flight and the engine does stop, albeit it takes longer
than normal for this to occur. It's good
practice to learn how to safely maintain control when an engine quits, which it did in real life—luckily my
instructor was on board.
