Good evening all;

I've had a little time to install and kick the tires on the 2.3 version.  A couple of quick observations:

- I also had the "no sound" issue at first; I set soundoffwhenslew=0 and it seemed to help.  Later I loaded a flight in the 727-100 and suddenly there was no sound from the altitude alerter again; loading the 727-200 somehow enabled it again.  So, I'm not sure of the cause, but when in doubt load another version of the aircraft and see what you get.

- IMO The Captain seems to have done a good job on the revised autopilot. It appears to be functioning properly and I've abandoned my modified gauge in favor of this one.

WARNING: the one thing the AP seems like it will not do (at least on my system) is override the "hold heading" or "hold altitude" switches; so those of you who may have had trouble capturing a localizer/radial, make sure you switch off the 'heading select' switch when you switch to NAV LOC or AUTO G/S.  If you can't capture the glideslope in AUTO G/S mode, try turning off the "altitude hold" switch once the glideslope triangle starts moving down. The AP worked for me EVERY time once I kept these things in mind.

- I had the dreaded "DON'T SINK"...Launchbury's fix from version 2.2 seems to work still.

- I noticed that CS has fixed the barometric readings on the altimeters (great!)...unfortunately they still have the somewhat ambiguous reading at the thousand-foot 'rollover' point - I did a quick test and I believe that my revised altimeter gauges (with COL Bob Scott's fix) will work just as well with 2.3.

- My "MDA light" fix also still applies to the 2.3 version.

Enjoy!
Matt
