Thanks for your answer, mhab!

There is even a shortcut available to do that. As for now I consider this "normal behavior".
Well, none of the keyboard shortcuts using AltGr (ctrl+alt in the binding files) work here (Debian GNU/Linux unstable). In my personal bindings, I often use the <mod-super> modifier, which corresponds to the (Windows) Logo key in my setup. But this requires me to modify ec130b4-set.xml...
Ah, I had tried a repository on SourceForge, found the soon-to-disappear one on gitorious.org, but didn't know about that one. Thanks for the info, I've tried it today with FG 3.4. More on this below.
Great to see you are working on this!

I don't think this is the case. At least, I never have this option enabled and unfortunately had the dreaded crash with today's Git version of the repo you mentioned (d96fdafe05a7b2f17c1daa9c8c76f68d7b950205). I don't know if it's related, but I was in multiplayer mode and had the crash after about 15 minutes, while I have flown about one hour without any crash this morning with multiplayer mode off. Here is the log for the session that had the crash:

Note that I have fixed a little bug before this session, otherwise you would also have seen this:

The problem is that the file in the Git repo is A800/searchlight_A800.ac and not A800/searchlight_a800.ac as indicated in Models/SearchLight/searchlight_A800.xml (Unix/Linux filesystems are case-sensitive). Should I file an issue or a pull request on gitlab about this?

Of course, I'm talking about problems here, but I like the new features (being able to set the altimeter with the mouse wheel on the knob, main rotor shadow, white arc representing its rotation speed...).
Concerning the altimeter setting: it would be very useful to display the QNH value while the knob is being rotated, as in the SenecaII, but with both units if possible (inHg and hPa)---the SenecaII only displays inHg here.
Thank you!
