It starts on weapon system power on. You can toggle it by Weapon Supply Switch on the right side.

Thank you. That should be on and ready indeed for airstart.

Will the buttons below that plastic cover to the rear of panel (here right) be implemented. 

One of them tells the avionics that landing gear is inside (second row you do not see on this picture).

At the moment not planned, but I have discussed it with the team and that could change. Once all of our main tasks are done we will know more. 

thank you

Sorry just edited my message, it should not happen for air starts 

If you have a short track replay on Caucasus feel free to add it

At this subjet, doesn't the horizontal bracket suggest that all System Power Switches could be put on all at once at startup?

Thats what I do and then just flip the AFCS back to off again until after engine start.

They can. You can actually pull up the vertical bracket and the horizontal bracket one right after the other. only thing is you have to cycle the afcs switch off then back on after engine start to properly do the test

Great! I didn't do it that way until now because of the BIT that seemed to follow AFCS switched on (and should occurs later), but maybe in the real world that should work that way? (AFCS on on the same time as other systems)

I've been meaning to try doing vertical bracket first. Then engine start. Then horizontal bracket. And that should work. The only thing is you need horizontal bracket for gyros, and you can't do alignment till that has been set. So it's just faster the other way, and you just have to cycle the one switch

I found fastest is to do navigation prep, engine start, FCS test all at once

Yes same. FCS as soon as first engine spools up

Don’t need to to that. Just hit the autopilot disconnect button on the stick after engine 2 starts to spool up.

Exactly, you can keep notes there, as well as cigarettes, for example.

I'd rather have biscuits, so I can have some fun with the crumbs when pushing negative Gs!

We need this, aswell as this "experimental feature" from launch video - getting in and out of our plane.

Cool finding. Glad to see this will be implemented.

[YoYo]

By the way, I love the new AEKRAN sounds. Something like dragging the carriage from a typewriter.
