11. Where is this "Pressurization Mode Switch" Page 27, Manual 3 is taking about? Pressurization Mode Switch - TAKEOFF Check outflow valves move toward CLOSE. Check cabin vertical speed indicator for selected rate of descent. Check cabin altitude descends to 200 to I 250 feet below airport elevation.

There is none. Because the cabin pressurization system doesnt work at all, I've created a ticket and it has been forwarded to the dev-team.

12. Do the Glideslope Warning Flags always stay on? The manual says "Covers glideslope scale if glideslope signal is invalid." Tuning a normal VOR doesn't give you "invalid" GS signals, it gives you none. So the flag should go away when tuning normal VORs. http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/3033/gswarningflag.th.jpg

No, because no signal also is an invalid signal. Its written a bit complicated. The G/S only comes on if you have tuned in a localizer with a G/S signal.

13. The Voice Recorder Test doesn't have a sound or a reading on the gauge. At least the gauge should give a change when pressing "test" ,right? http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/4339/voicerecorder.th.jpg

I've also noticed this, the volume gauge should move fully to the right. I'll add a ticket for this.

14. Do you get a reading on the "Cabin Altitude" gauge? http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/2803/cabinalt.th.jpg

No, because as written above, the pressurization-system doesnt work at all.

15. Can somebody explain the correct function of the "Altimeter" (the right one, not the "Electric Altimeter" on the left) to me? http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/9038/baroalt.th.jpg 1. 1000-Feet Pointer The short handle points to thousands of feel. Mine is showing 0 all the time. As you can see, I'm at approx 26.000ft and the needle isn't moving. Only the "100-Feet Pointer" does. 6. Runway Height This pointer will indicate the runway elevation in feet above mean sea level (MSL) when pointers 1 and 2 are set to zero. is also a big question mark to me  :( It always shows "0" too when on the ground and with correct baro setting although I was at airports with higher runways than 0 feet.

This is a bug, the 1000ft-pointer stopps at 20'000ft and is already on the list for the next update. As for the airport-elevation I've to read the manual, and check that.
