If you haven't got a clue what FSUIPC is, just ignore this remark :-) **** IMPORTANT--IMPORTANT--IMPORTANT**** Due to differences in the Brakes implementation in FSX with respect to the use of Toebrakes pedals, activate (remove the "//" in front of the line) gauge03= ONLY when you use proportional toebrake pedals, like the CH Pro Pedals. Removing the "//" will force the Taxispeed gauge to use proportional Brake commands (like your pedals) instead of normal Brake commands. ------------------------------- * At startup click on the Alternate Panel Icon to establish Popup Window Priority * For Turbo Beaver Flight Data...See the DHC2_MK3W_Ref.txt file or press the "Check" Icon on the panel while in FSX. * Use Shift E to open the Pax Doors * Use Shift E +2 to open the Pilot Doors & Cargo / Alaska Doors...Depending on the Model * Use the "I" key for Water or Jumper Effects...Depending on the Model (Sequences may be different, depending on the model) *To hear the Exit Door sounds....It has to be quiet in the cockpit Do it before starting engine or after Engine Shutdown. * The spinning propeller displays best when the prop pitch is reduced a little (CTRL F2 - 4 Times) * To Raise your seat higher press SHIFT-ENTER * For Best Frame Rates...Keep Windows Closed * Use of Elevator trim is recommended in FSX... * Important...
