I've enjoyed this aircraft since day one, but it seems after the last update or two, one of its oldest quirks has actually become worse.
Trying to accurately grab or manipulate almost anything on the FE panel has always been finicky or reversed on many or all of the switches. This really isn't too much of an issue on items that are either position A or position B. Where this seems to have become worse after this last update are specifically the Oil Cooler Flaps and the Cowel Flaps. They used to travel faster than I could out race the finicky switch position to stop them where I needed them, but with enough tries I could get them close enough. The problem that seems to have become worse with the latest updates is that now these two flaps move so quickly it is impossible to stop them anywhere between full open and full closed. This is made
worse by the up & down arrow click spots on the switches for both are almost impossible to re-find fast enough and seem to "migrate". Up is sometimes where down used to be and down is where up used to be a millisecond ago.
I've tried mapping at least the Oil Cooler & Cowel Flap controls to the keyboard and my X52, but it looks like Redwing uses non-standard programming for these.
I am one step in this process from letting Redwing know about my issue but wanted to check in here to see if anyone else sees this problem or have found a assignment/mapping solution work around.
The other question I have is that now that the Connie has the option for the GPS 650/650 in the VC, has anyone tried this and if so, which GPS product.
Thanks in advance.
