Autofeather test
I didn't see it mentioned anywhere except in a parentheses when searching, so I'd just like to highlight the fact that the autofeather doesn't seem to test properly at the moment. Neither via checklist or following along on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejSB4ehbvSA
Doesn't seem like the modeled version of the lower annunciator panel includes AFX lights either? Maybe the PDF checklist could be modified to reflect that?

Re: Autofeather test
Hi,
Autofeather test actually works exactly like the real. You must hold the Autofeather switch in Test position as it is spring loaded to Off.
And there are no AFX lights in the lower annunciator panel, AFX legends only display inside ITT/Torque gauges.
Checklist format is taken from a real E-Checklist. Many items are simplified, that's the reason the printed chart is mostly used.

Re: Autofeather test
Aha, I haven't been looking for AFX-legends on the central display, only annunciators. I was using the included PDF checklist, not the E-version, but obviously I wouldn't see the listed annunciator if not looking in the right place!
In addition to this, testing the rudder boost I only get a flash of the annunciator while holding in the AP/YD DISC, not a continous light as in the video above.
