• Engine gauges (EGT, CHT, Ammeter, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Gyro Suction, Fuel (left and right) )

CHANGES FOR VERSION 3.1

• Fixed panel-mounted elevator trim indicator - movement was backwards
• We now HIDE the yoke control lock manipulator when the aircraft is airborne - too easy to 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 On-screen. Corrected the spelling of "A/P Interrupt" label on the pilot yoke
• Fixed KY 97 COM2 radio power knob - Power knob can now be clicked to turn off the COM2 radio (added knob animation)
• 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
• Reversed the Elevator Trim operation and trim indicator labels. Rotate trim wheel forward for DOWN trim, and aft for UP trim. This is now intuitive for pilots accustomed to operating trim wheels
• The User Manual incorrectly stated that the Davtron chronometer shows Local Time - should be UTC
• Keys cannot be removed from ignition receptacle until the ignition is OFF.
• 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
• Corrected the COM1 fuse animation - does not get pulled now if NAV1 fuse is pulled
• 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 Traveler 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 power was off
• The power lamp for the COM2 radio now goes off if the fuse is pulled
• 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 radio frequency manipulators, volume knob and flip/flop button are now un-clickable if the COM2 power is off, or the COM2 fuse is pulled
• Fixed sound loop in engine sound sample
• Enlarged a number of cockpit manipulators to make them easier to operate
