CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.1
We now HIDE the yoke control lock manipulator when the aircraft is airborne - it was too easy to accidentally re-install the yoke lock while in flight! Also added plugin code to remove the yoke lock automatically if the pilot forgot, and the airplane goes airborne
Fixed the A/P Interrupt button on the pilot yoke. Can now be clicked and held down to use Control Wheel Steering while autopilot servos are engaged. Corrected the spelling of "A/P Interrupt" label on the pilot yoke
We now HIDE the ignition key manipulator located on top of the glareshield while in flight to prevent being able to remove the keys from ignition in flight, Keys cannot be removed from ignition receptacle unless the magnetos are set to OFF
Changed the visibility logic for the pilot figure - the pilot is now hidden if the airplane is on the ground, the engine is off, and the parking brake is set, regardless of the canopy open or closed
Starter lamp does not illuminate if trying to start the engine with the keys on the glareshield
Modified the Audio Amplifier fuse logic - if the fuse is pulled, audio volumes are set to zero, marker lamps will not illuminate, and the audio panel power lamp goes off. Radio volume settings are saved and restored when fuse is pushed back in
Corrected mesh textures on the interior of the pilot yoke columns sleeves - no longer transparent
The flaps paddle switch now operates as described in the Tiger POH - click and hold down to deploy flaps, click up once to fully retract
Fixed issues with COM2 radio still able to operate even if the COM2 power was off (X-Plane bug)
The audio panel volume knob now acts as a "master" volume for all devices that play through the audio panel. Individual radio volumes can be adjusted, but the audio panel volume will also control the volumes
Squelch noise (if on) is controlled by the appropriate radio - if COM1 is selected, the COM1 volume will control the squelch volume, and likewise for COM2. If neither COM1 or COM2 is selected on the audio panel the squelch sound will not be played
COM2 and NAV2 radio frequency manipulators, volume knobs and flip/flop buttons are now un-clickable if the radio power is off, or the radio fuse is pulled
Enlarged a number of cockpit manipulators to make them easier to operate
