All good. I managed to get them to work.

Thank you for an amazing aircraft. Having so much fun with her.

Timmy, yes and no - they are very similar, but there are some modifications on it. I just working on Sentinal version of Mark 2. Its the Law Enforcement development with a bigger wingspan, bigger rudder and other improvements, need some days to verify possible texture changes. Perhaps wait some days, paintkit will come.

Brilliant model Thomas, THANKS!!

With some minor tweaking the Mk I textures work well.

Beautiful! A new favorite! Two quick questions...

1) Is it possible to map the beta switch to a yoke button? If so, what command would I look for?

2) There appear to be places for digits on the engine instruments, but I'm not seeing any. Is that something I'm not seeing on my rig or is it not included? I'm totally fine with analog gauges...just curious!

Thanks to all involved to a fine flying and well designed model! Any chance of seeing the 207 version someday (I know, I know...beggars

)?

I don´t have any knowledge about special hardware configuration. But the beta switch on Mark1/2 follows (L:GroundIdle, bool) value, the fuel/Flight on Mark 2 (A:GENERAL ENG FUEL VALVE:1, bool).

And no, a C207 Turbine Pac is not on my list. Sorry, that would be another year of development - it is a total different aircraft.

Thomas,

Thanks for the guidance. I'll see if I can make it work.

I totally understand about the 207, and am perfectly pleased with the 206. She's one of the best flying turboprops I have...if not the best.

Thanks!

Thomas,

Been flying the Mark 2 a lot recently, as I finally got back in flight simming mood. One question however: having issues with instrument lighting. I can't get it to work. The appropriate switch appears to have no effect.

Any suggestion?

With thanks,

**TiAr** · June 13th, 2018, 11:33

CC, sorry, there is no instrument lighting at daytime - only in night time. But the new WIP MK2 Sentinel has full instrument backlighting also at daytime. Its a real VFR/IFR one.

Thomas

**CrazyCanuck** · June 13th, 2018, 14:52

Many thanks for such a prompt reply! Really looking forward to that next creation of yours!

I can't bring up the Configuration panel. Shift+1 does nothing for me.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

Maybe uninstall and reinstall?

I have done that a couple of times and it hasn't helped.

I am at a loss as to what to do next.

Thanks,

**TiAr** · October 24th, 2018, 10:49

This is weird - what´s about the other 2D-windows? Do they open? Are you sure, you hit key shift together with key 1? Did you change any of these key allocationsin FS?

Thomas

**THibben** · October 24th, 2018, 14:08

Thomas,

You nailed it. The Shift+1 was blanked out in FSX and all the others had numbers assigned.

Thanks so much. It is sure nice to have some whiz kids around.

Tom

**TiAr** · October 25th, 2018, 13:33

Tom, great, you are welcome.

It's in the SOH Library, FSX Aircraft -> FSX Civilian Props, but you'll have to page down quite a bit, it was released back in March 2018.

**_wombat_** · May 11th, 2019, 15:24

Thanks Rob for the feedback, will go there now.

Has anyone figured out to get the RXP GTNs in the VC? I followed the directions but still had the GNS in there. I used the rxp replace tool and got them in the VC but I still have the 3d knobs for the GNS.

Thanks,
LouP

**LouP** · May 11th, 2019, 19:05

Never mind, figured it out. Just needed to select the F1 GTN after installing the mods and all worked out. Looks great. Thank you for such a cool aircraft.

Hello, Another fine aircraft! Can't buy one better! Just wanted to know if I can submit repaints here on SOH... Thanks.

**b52bob** · May 13th, 2019, 05:06

Just want to say it’s been almost one year since it’s release. It continues to be one of the best aircraft in FSX, payware or freeware. Although I’m predominantly x-plane, I do fly this a lot in P3D.

thanks again to the team who put this together. You are all rock stars.

Yes, why not, many people will thank you. Me, too

**ejoiner** · May 14th, 2019, 07:43

These are (by far) my favorite freeware civilian airplanes. I fly them much more than any other single engine GA planes I have including a lot of payware.

I'd love to see the panel lighting in P3Dv4 improved some, but thats a nice to have. Otherwise brilliant work!
