Virtavia B29 Cabin Pressure

Has anyone been able to get the cabin pressure gauges to work. I can't find anything in the manual or any comments about it on the web anywhere.

Cabin pressure on the B-29 was automatically regulated. Here is an explanation from the B-29 Pilot's Operations Manual.
The cabin air pressure can be operated manually through the use of 2 white handled controls located at the Engineer's Station. Cabin air flow gauges are located at the lower right hand side of the Engineer's panel and can be adjusted by mouse clicking on either the plus (+) or minus (-) sign on the gauge itself.

Mal,

Are the gauges on your B29 moving? mine stay zeroed out no matter what I do. If I am sitting on the runway at 6000ft the ALT gauge reads 6000 and the CABIN ALT gauge reads zero. Is this what your system does?

Dave
 
They do not appear to be enabled. I am checking with the boss to see whether we can get them turned on. I'll let you know what I find out.
