Hi,

1. For what is the boost cut out and slow running cut out ?
2. In what situations i must handle these two buttons ?
3. The wheelbrakes doesn't work for me in this birds, what do i wrong ?

Boost cutout is WEP, slow running is for engine swith-off and wheelbrakes must be set as "brake full", because these aircraft dont have differential breaks (they instead have a lever on the stick)

Thanks for your answer janpitor.

Wheelbrakes now work for me but have another question.
Can i fly with the WEP the whole time ?

I turned on boost cut out and I couldn't turn it off, how do you turn it off once the lever is forward on the spit 1a

You can't.

I made a mod that fixes this and adds some other goodies

I think I remember reading some accounts of pilots 'going through the gate' where they described switching it off at some point too. I could be wrong though.

I shall have to do some reading and get back to you

I've also seen this and am pretty sure it's how it operated...ground crews could reset in but only obviously when on the grd
