Hi, I just rented the 111 to give it a try. I noticed a few issues, but the main one that prevented me from enjoying it is that the autopilot seems to be completely disabled. I couldn't flip the switch on the handle, I couldn't activate it using the command key (Alt Z in my case), nor could I enable it using PMS50's GTN 750 which works (so far as I've tested) with all aircraft that have an autopilot.
When I loaded the aircraft today, I was able to flip the switch so I bought the aircraft. As soon as I bought it and restarted the sim, the switch doesn't work anymore! Restarted the sim, still doesn't work. I'm wondering if it's a fluke that it worked earlier today?
I did notice some other issues too, though none would keep me from enjoying the aircraft.
- The props appear to be counter rotating. I'm not sure if that's real life or not, but the blades are not and the aircraft pulls on the runway. I think one perhaps spins the wrong way.
- Only the port (left) oil cooler seems to work, but it cools both engines. The right appears to do nothing.
- Only the port (left) radiator seems to be function as well. It cools both engines.
- When the fuel tanks are full, the center of gravity is so far forward that the max 12% trim is only barely enough (with full power) to keep the aircraft flying level. It very badly wants to nose dive.
- There's something hanging out of the starboard side of the aircraft stuck in a window. I don't know what it is, or if it's real. I can't find any pictures of a real plane with one... Can anyone tell me what it is and if it should be there? It won't let me post a screenshot.
