Tie Downs and Wheel Chocks

Post by Albrecht » Mon Nov 05, 2018 6:28 pm

How can I remove the Wheel Chocks?

In the Manual (Page 34) I found: "Performed via Menu".
But I could not find this entry in the menue, there is only the item "Load: Cold and Dark"

I believe if you try Shift +1 or Shift +2 that will bring up a "pop-up" menu giving you the selection option for the chocks, pitot and engine inlet covers along with removal of the pilot.

Shift-3 will bring up the PA30 Preflight menu.
Shift-2 will bring up the PA30 Fuel Selector
and on some panels
Shift-4 and Shift-5 will bring up the GPS options

Yes, I noticed my mistake just after my post, I went flying in the PA 30 and realized it is Shift +3 for the pop up aircraft menu.

A very minor point that you might want to alter in any future update is that the PA30 Preflight menu in the Views/Instrument Panel dropdown menu (at least in FSX) is actually labelled “C310 Prelight”.

I have also noticed that the tool tips for both the yokes are labelled CDI. I always though that stood for course deviation indicator so is that label correct?

Both squawks have been fixed in the master files now. The first is a simple fix to modify all 20 of the .cfg files in the ..\PanelCfgs folder to read TW Preflight instead of C310 Prelight (note the missing "f").

The second is embedded in the interior .mdl and will require a new .mdl file.
