Hi all, so i tried my project for new LG capabilities.Here a short videohttps://youtu.be/AeVSX-PqbS8It works, but solenoids gets very hot and after 5 minutes my relay card starts to make strange sounds... any idea? I’m feared to maintain this configuration. At the moment I’m using a CAN8 Relay from Polabs, 12V relays version. Attached 5 magnets for Autopilot, parcking brakes and JFS 1 & 2. Then these 2 solenoids, 12 V. Any suggestion?

In the air when your gear is up and you push the permission button3. After you lowered your gear in the air (same as 1)The real gear handle have the same issue with getting hot and burning out. This usually happens if pilots play with the permission button or have the gear down for too long. I added a electronic card to my gear panel which will trigger the solenoid at the full volt, then lower the voltage to keep the solenoid engaged.See this post:http://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php?topic=11400.msg175640#msg175640
I think it wasn't possible to use it after moving to DX11so we lost it anyway and I 'm grateful Dunc took charge with RTT. I'm trying to understand Nomad issue but I don't see that behavior. Are you sure you have both your MFD on the left side of your main?I don't think that's the issue because normally we shouldn't have the switch anymore. But what I see reported here is very weird. Nomad, any chance you can post a video of that behavior so I can forward it to the dev?
