Freighterman - yes - the "powerdown" fix is odd to anyone who ever lived with magamps and valves but the biggest hurdle to be overcome when tansitioning to "DigiGlass" aircraft is, simply put, If there is no message, there is no defect.. .Hard for both drivers and technicians to get a handle on, but nonetheless true.. .For the benefit the origonal poster, get used to neat stuff such as prox switches that are almost universally interchangeable and no 30' flyleads to cope with / airframe system valve actuators that are similarly interchangeable / one size fits all philosophy and execution across the different types of Bus ( except for the babybusses ). Except for the fact that the "Bastages" sank the Rainbow Warrior, I could almost love em !!. .It's mostly drivers who have to strap the bus on for an extra hour to fly the same sector length as a Boeing that complain about it. I have $50 that says in 12 months, you'll love it.
