1
: Auto Throttle Engine Masters All switches operate together on the model, as FS doesn't allow for easy splitting of auto throttle. The real thing had the option of turning off AT for any engine. Typically engine 2 would be kept off auto throttle in case AT selected low RPM which could cause problems for the pressurised systems. 2 : PVD Master (Para Visual Display) Master On/Off for the PVD indicators on the front of the glare shield. (see Main Panel). In FS the PVD display can also be turned on/off by clicking the PVD gauge itself. 3 : Pitot heaters The pitot heaters are needed to keep ice from blocking the pitot tubes which would stop instruments from working. 4 : Taxi lights 5 : Landing lights Both landing light switches move together & can not be operated independently. 6 : Avionics These radio power switches have been assigned as the basic FS Avionics master switch. 7 : Battery The Domestic supply switches have been assigned as the basic FS Battery master switch. 8 : Turn and Slip instrument Individual power switch for the Turn & Slip instrument on the centre panel. 9 : Standby Horizon Individual power switch for the Standby Horizon gauges. 10 : Navigation & Anti Collision lights Operates the red & green lights on the wing tips & the flashing beacons on the fuselage. 11 : Panel lights Operates the panel lighting. |
