King Air 350i Build 0.0.36

[Taguilo]

Hey Guys!
Still loving this bird! 0.0.36 was a really nice improvement. Here are a few things (mostly minor details) I've noticed and that you're probably aware of and may just be related to operator error:

1. FMC (RSK1 on Legs page) - Unable to change entries (i.e. change spd/altitude). This has been a problem for me since 0.0.33.

2. PFD Baro Knob - Unable to pull to set STD baro.

3. PFD/MFD Inner Knobs - Unable to press knob to select items.

4. Cockpit Voice Recorder Test - No "Test OK" light after pressing test button for 5 secs.

5. Overhead Panel Voltage Gauges - No reading for external power when applied.

6. MVAMS - Fuel amount entered/saved before running P3D is not loaded in to aircraft.

7. Cold & Dark -
A. Engine Anti-Ice switches are set to "On".
B. Environmental Mode Selector set to "Auto".
C. Prop Sync is "On".

8. Real Light - Strange textures on cockpit panels as many people have reported. I have been renaming the "Real Light" folder in the B350i simobjects folder to disable Real Light.

9. AIRAC 1911 - Files are located in the NavData folder in the Milviz root P3D folder, but on the FMC Airac 1811 is displayed (not sure if it is loaded).

Suggestions:

1. Switch Interaction - Doesn't seem to be standardized. For some switches you left click for down and right click for up and others are the opposite. Maybe you could standardize the interactions, for instance, left click is down, right click is up, and, also, enable the mouse wheel for switch interaction. It is a little confusing now, but, I guess, after flying the bird regularly it won't be as confusing.

Questions (probably all operator error):

1. Flight Plan Loading - I've searched and searched the forum, but I can't find the answer (I'm pretty sure I saw it once - maybe in the 0.0.33 thread that seems to be missing). But where do you store the flight plan for loading up the FMC? And what is the extension? .pln? Thanks.

2. MFD Checklists - How do you enable these? I'm unable to press the inner MFD knob to enable the checklist.

3. Map - How to enable it if it is enabled?

4. Wx/Terrain - I am running P3Dv4.5 Hotfix 2, but have been unable to display wx or terrain. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help. And good luck. I hope this will be a very successful project for MilViz.

Hi,

2. PFD Baro Knob - Press mouse wheel / middle button.

3. PFD/MFD Inner Knobs - same as above

4. Cockpit Voice Recorder Test - No "Test OK" light after pressing test button - Noted thanks, to be fixed

5. Overhead Panel Voltage Gauges - No reading for external power when applied. - GPU must be connected, Ext Pwr switch ON and EXT PWR amber annunciator ON and steady (not flashing)

7. Cold & Dark -
A. Engine Anti-Ice switches are set to "On". Those switches are normally On in ground operations, and remain On between daily flights. C&D is intended to be used in those cases. Parked option is for overnight stops.
B. Environmental Mode Selector set to "Auto". That is correct.
C. Prop Sync is "On". Noted, thanks. To be fixed.

Thanks, Taguilo,

2/3. PFD/MFD knobs - I always forget that I can press the mouse wheel as a button, thanks.

5. Overhead Panel Voltmeters - The GPU is connected, Ext Pwr switch is on, but I'm not sure about the amber annunciator flashing or not. I'll check it again.

7. Cold & Dark - Thanks, got it! Edit: Just loaded it in C&D. Prop Sync was off. I've been disabling Real Light due to odd cockpit textures, and, sometimes, the Master Warning/Caution, Prop Sync, and other lighted buttons do not alight when activated. They're lit now and Prop Sync was off.

To Turbofandude,

9. AIRAC 1911 - There's are 3 files (Cycle_info.txt, nd.db3, nd.mdb) in this folder: J:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d v4\Milviz\FMS-3000\MilvizData. Cycle_info.txt states that the cycle is 1911. But... it's probably a remnant from a previous beta in which I tried to update the AIRAC. I usually delete all B350i folders prior to installing a new beta, but I think I forgot to do it this time. Sorry for the confusion.
