1) =====================================
Q:
- DG indicator does not work
- Magnesyn does not work
- Turn Coordinator does not work

A:
- Those are DC powered. Go to Flight Instrument Panel (in center pedestal) and turn on both T&S and COMP switches.

2) =====================================
Q:
- Torque press indicator does not work
- Fuel Flow indicator does not work

A:
-Those are AC powered. Go to Flight Instrument Panel (in center pedestal) and turn on INV switch.


3) =====================================
Q:
- Engine quits after minutes of take off.

A:
-ALWAYS keep torque within green section of gauge. The portion between max green (58.7 PSI) and red limit (64.5 PSI) should be used for no more than 3 minutes, in specific situations. After that, engine starts to be affected and wear is cummulative between flights. So be careful when doing runups and during take off rolls.
-Engine is also affected if ITT at startup exceeds 800 deg Celsius, then always try to keep ITT temp below that value. If ITT rise is greater than normal and 800 limit seems going to be exceeded, cut off fuel immediately and follow Manual (POH) procedures.

4) =====================================
Q:
- Aircraft behaves weird at flight start. Makes uncommanded rolls to right or left. Controls feels "heavy".

A:
-Ensure that Autopilot is OFF when rolling in ground or during take off.
-Always start a flight either:
-in Free Flight (FSX)/Scenario (P3D) screen, changing vehicle to Turbine Otter from that screen (not loading the default a/c and from there loading the Turbine Otter).
-Loading a Turbine Otter saved flight.


5) =====================================
Q:
- After engine start Generator light remains on.

A:
-Starter must be off for generator to come online -as it is a starter-generator unit.



More to come soon.

Thanks!
Tomas
