Interesting first P3D V5 Flight
I just attempted my first flight in V5, and it was quite interesting.
None of the annunciator lights work (above the auto-pilot bar or above the engine controls). The ISS test light, Prop Sync, and gear handle lights do not work either.
On climb out I noticed the PFD started to drift nose high and to the left that did not match the ISS or the horizon (similar to a vacuum system failure but I thought there was no vacuum system on the KA). I returned to a nearby airport treating this as a real-world PFD failure... and the gear/flaps did not come down like a hydraulic system failure. Alternate gear extension did not work after releasing the handle.
I understand this is a beta on a new platform so I am not bothered, it was very interesting to find these things out in succession. The plane looks and sounds GREAT though!
