Steam Gauge Overhaul

@simon Thanks for explaining!

@n38tm said in v0.1.1a Engines wont start, no prop animation, High Idle kills:

@captainmd My 530 is working and engine issue seems somewhat resolved. Takes a long time for
engine to start turning.

No...

The Turboprop engines on the King air are free turbines.
Simple explained, the free turbine consist of the compressor, whivh is directly coupled to the gasproducer turbine.
This assembly works more or less like a normal jet engine.
The propeller is via a gearbox connected to the free turbine, which isn´t connected to the gas producer section described above (Jet engine).
The exhaust gas flow from the gasproducer drives the free turbine i.e the propeller.

When You start the engine, only the gas producer starts rotating - You can hear the engine spool up.
Once the gas flow is sufficient to drive the free turbine, the propeller starts to rotate.

@simon

Awesome, thank you!

@voice-of-reason Thank you for the update! Much appreciated!!!

@simon
ah, thx ...!

@simon
Yes, I know, but B:Vars can't be controlled.
(they can, but with a complicated workaround)

Hope you consider variables for us!
thx

@airnorth

Perhaps worth checking you have the CDI source switch set to RNAV, and the KNS-80 is in RNV/ENR or RNV/APR modes. VOR or VOR/PAR modes will not appear to be correct RNAV readings, as they render the unit equivalent to a NAV3 radio by providing course deviation information relative to the physical VOR station.

Hope this helps! If not, perhaps if you can send us a video or some screenshots by raising a ticket https://support.justflight.com/support/tickets/new and we'll pass them onto the developer to look at?

At the upper left side of the GNS 530 bezel, there's a small, round switch marked "C". This should turn the unit on.

Ok... Page 15 of manual, shame on me, it's ok now.

landing gear key binding was the problem

Update: ohh I had to fix the engines in the Bendix Radar menu thingie since engine damage is persistent. =) All is well now.

The only way I could get liveries to work was to add a model folder and model.cfg file to the steps in the Manual.

NOTAM

There is a mandatory update for the PMS50 GTN750

All is OK now

Have good flights

@derek
Many thanks!

It seems it installs on MSFS community only. Yet, to use the AddonsLinker I moved the KA350 folder to the dedicated community folder without issues - yet one has to remember to move it back to the original community folder prior to an update!

Got her, thank you very much :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Pascal

v1.3
"New custom implementation of the KAP140 Autopilot. The previously recommended mod
presented an incompatibility with the TDS GTN 750 after Sim Update 10 that resulted in
modes getting stuck, and altitude hold mode failing to maintain altitude. No autopilot mod is
required or recommended for the Analog Caravan any more."

Well this settles it once and for all :)
Looking forward to the King Air tomorrow!
