Hi guys,
first, thanks for this phantastic plane. Really nice, will be my trainer for learning carrier ops.
A few things I'm not really clear about or which I think are not correct are obviously also there:
One thing i'm currently not clear about is the shutdown procedure. With the throttle fingerlifts, you cannot get the throttle back to the "off" position once you moved it up to idle?
I found one strange behavior: I cannot use TACAN any more (shows only "000" and the dials are not responding) if i place a ship on the map Tried with a Perry, a Ticonderoga and even the Truman (!), all of them made TACAN behave like that, making it kind of unuseable.
Doesn't happen with the speedboats.
The log complains about problems in a "get_carrier_data" function ...

Did anyone else observe that?
Ups, and one more thing ... flying on the Nevada Map to a waypoint. There is a discrepancy between the direction to the waypoint on the HUD and HSI. Pretty exactly 12°, which makes me think about some handling of magnetic variance?
