    Hi...

    No, it's not what you expect from overflying a ground based Navaid.. It's literally an angle offset error. First time I noticed it I was tracking a VOR radial outbound and I realized I needed a very large track correction to keep the HSI needle centered. It was acting as if I had a 100 knot crosswind. Then I did a few tests flying direct to a VOR inbound with the RMI 1&2 VOR needle, the HSI and the #2 OBS all set to the VOR. I noticed that any needles on the #2 nav would track the VOR correctly, but the needles on the #1 Nav were pointing roughly 10 degrees to the left and the closer I got to the VOR the bigger the error. It's almost like if the #1Nav radio was tuned to a phantom VOR that was always left of the one that it was tuned to. I was backing this test up by using the default MSFS VFR map.
    Also, the NAV 1 DME was intermittent past 11 miles.. I could listen to the DME on the audio panel as a strong morse signal, but the DME indicator was blank. This was while tracking a back course localizer where the fixes had DME references out to 30ish miles from the localizer.

    But the good news is, I just reinstalled everything associated with the King Air, including FSUIPC, TDS GTN, The Caravan and the 850 which I just bought last night, making sure to install the King Air and the TDS last and it appears whatever it was is now squashed. I kinda wish I had reinstalled things one at a time so I could at least find the culprit, but this beats any longer process off troubleshooting.

    The Piper P100i which is based off the P28A-181 product line would be a significant addition to the platform. If you do a quick google search you will find several people looking for the P100i for training purposes. This aircraft can be marketed towards the flight schools and the civilian marker to provide another avenue for the relation of simulation to in real life flying. Currently there is no "certified or non-certified" Piper P100i simulation for any simulator. I feel there is some money left on the table here and we all would benefit. If I was more then just a real world pilot, I would have created it myself by now, haha.

    Currently, most schools have to resort to hooking the aircraft up to ground power to allow students to train on the systems during their ground portion or if that's not available it resorts to additional cost to the student with more flying time.

    Since WT released the G3X interface update, now would be a good time to utilize it.

    IFR portion comes with the Garmin G3X Touch, GNX375 with transponder, Garmin 225B Nav/Com, GFC 500 3 Axis AP, and a G5 for backup/standby with the Lycoming IO360B4 with 180HP.
