Wow -- looks like a big update, downloading now Cheers JL.

asessa -- not too sure if I previously mentioned this with you -- my autoland annunciators would also 'blink' ; but that was only because I had the captain side wired up, and not the FO side. I am not too sure if it had anything to do with the logic. When I wired up the FO side, the blinking stopped and it now functions as intended.

Hyi JL, hyi all!

Jeehell, thanks for your massive work.
Please be so kind and tell us, is there still a restriction for FSCockpit users? (Thread is closed)

Thanks & Cheers

Thanks JL for this update, no brakes high temp now...
The "COOL BRKs" option is the same with "BRK FAN" pushbutton on MIP, isn't it? When I press BRK FAN on MIP, it appears on E/WD, but when I choose COOL BRKs option from Addon menu nothing happens.

Leonidas, the COOL BRKs option will cool down the brakes immediately, while the BRK FAN takes it's time (like in the real aircraft). The COOL BRKs option is for a quick reset in case you want to take off directly after landing or rejected takeoff.

@JeeHell:
Nice update, thank you. Little problem though:
Installed on all machines, everything was fine. Started P3D v2.5. While the splash screen was displayed (before the terrain loading progress bar appeared) the sim closed down without error. Tried couple of times. Nothing.
Copied a backup of the flight model from B43 into the simobjects/airplanes folder, then the sim started normal. Did you change anything in the flight model? Something is weird here...

Where is COOL BRKs in the real aircraft?

[jeehell]

In the real ACFT it would be the fire brigade, but there is no switch for that one

@Maddin: weird issue with the model, there was no changes there...

Hi JL -- would it be possible to move some of these options to an MCDU options menu, or would that be difficult because of the FSX/P3D structure?

Latest beta is working great -- lots of small details. I will report back if I find any major (or minor) bugs.
