Hi Folks,
I have one final issue to put ont he forum, I hope I'm not swamping it with my own posts. I have noticed that the electric pitch trim check during runup is impossible to do because it requires 'level 2' to be depressed on the red button on the control column - have I missed something or is this just not possible in the MV KA?
Also, the low stop and primary governor checks seem to be impossible because they require several steps at once which can't be done with one mouse. Again, is there a work around for this or is it just not doable in the MV KA?
Cheers folks, last forum post for a while, I promise.

Hi,

I have noticed that the electric pitch trim check during runup is impossible to do because it requires 'level 2' to be depressed on the red button on the control column - have I missed something or is this just not possible in the MV KA?

It should work with right mouse click on the red button, but I've just noticed it does not. Bug to fix for next release Thanks!

Also, the low stop and primary governor checks seem to be impossible because they require several steps at once which can't be done with one mouse. Again, is there a work around for this or is it just not doable in the MV KA?

If you have a single Power Lever Controller for both engines, you can do this:
-Select the engine you want to check with (keyboard) E then 1 for left engine or E then 2 for right one. From now on moving the lever will only move the selected engine
- Click and hold on the switch of the check you are doing, and move the lever as required.
- When finished, select both engines again with (keyboard) E alone.

Hope this helps

Hi Tomas,
Actually I have individual prop levers set up so that’s not really a problem - I’m thinking more specifically about the overspeed governor and rudder boost check where you have to depress the AP/Trim switch to level one and hold the prop governor switch at the same time.
Thank you for your response about the other thing though that’s v useful.
John.

Ah, ok!

I recommend for handling the AP/YD Disc-Trim red button in yoke to setup a hardware button with P3D "toggle TAIL_HOOK_HANDLE".
Then you can press that button and click/hold the proper switch for those two checks.
