Oh hah, there are so many panels and instruments! I have now idea what the systems do. I did find out how to open the door. God, this plane is beautiful, bless those at Airfoillabs. The king air 350 for X-Plane 12 is a marvel to behold. Started reading the manual again to gleam setting for my VKB Gladiator nxt evo joystick. I can look around the cockpit now. Bound the toe brakes to x/y axis. Hope that works. Not being able to use rudders is a challenge.

A few more days before the books start arriving. YouTubing the game and airplane as a start. Found the audiobook for the book “Stick and Rudder” for free online. I am waiting for the book to arrive before listening to it. The definitive book on the King Air 350 comes soon afterwards. The mystery of the systems will be revealed. Until then find a website on the theory of flight will do.

I could pick a X-Plane 12 default plane and learn to fly. Not enough of a challenge in that. It is the obstacles we overcome that make us wise and strong.
