PA-30 missing autopilot, fuse cover etc

Hello,

Any suggestions re the following. The autopilot and fuse cover (at least) are missing from the PA-30 sim. The remainder of the a/c seems ok.

Sim has been downloaded and re-installed numerous times; installer run as administrator; internet protection off. Limited computer experience so I've done as much as I can (see below).

- Products from REX, ORBX, Caranado, Aeroplane Heaven, Steam have all downloaded successfully
- i3 4GHz; Nvidia GTX 1660 4 Gb
- 16Gb DDR4

Does your system meet the sim's requirements? YES
Did you temporarily disable your anti-virus program during the download process? YES
Before installing did you disable UAC. (User Account Control)? YES
Did you install, and are you running the sim as an admin? YES
Before running the sim did you make sure the FSX/P3D directory is off limits to any AV scanning? ???
Does your system have the required distributables? ???
Is your video card DX11 compatible? ???
If applicable, did you disable any FSX to P3D migration tools (like Estonia) before running the sim? ???
Are you using an aircraft other than a Milviz one as your default aircraft? NO
Have you installed in the root sim directory? YES
Do you have the appropriate SimConnect libraries installed? ????

Aircraft: PA-30 Twin Comanche
Sim platform: FSX: Steam Edition
Operating system: Win10
Version: 1.181112_wx

Thanks for the feedback. A screenshot would help if you can point out the issues?

OK
Will do.
a) you cannot select the KAP autopilot from MVAMS. It doesn't exist. But you can get the tip tanks and the WX radar! Just not the KAP
b) you cannot open the fuse cover on the floor......it's not active as per the manual
Weird!
c) I have just now imported the sim via another computer. Once installed on this (original) computer, that version also doesn't have the KAP or a functional fuse cover :)

Hi

I've selected the KAP...but it never shows up in the aircraft! The default GPS does; the WX does but not the KAP autopilot. Images attached. Also no access to circuit breakers.

Many thanks for your help.

The missing KAP-140 has been an issue since last year. It was supposed to be fixed with the latest build, but was not. It must have slipped through the cracks.

I have asked and am waiting for a reply. It most likely will not get patched until the aircraft is revisited for V5 compatibility and a new installer is made. I don't have a timeline right now on when that will be but am filing a bug report so it gets addressed.

GDay Steve,
Following up Twin Comanche problems - no autopilot, no interior or panel lights, the MAMS doesn't work correctly etc.
Any update on when these bugs might be corrected?
Thanks
