    the BAe146 has such a very efficient option, you can even add your own PNG files

    @Black-Square That is so strange! Ok, I'm glad it's not just me then. Seems like it was just a MTBF situation and likely not ice, given the conditions.

    I've been thinking about this; Nick, are you aware of this? Granted, I'm no expert, but I don't believe I have seen this in other planes. It's not a turboprop (maybe that's the issue, I know MSFS isn't great at those), but I adjust RPM in the DC-6 constantly, and I'm always getting the speeds given in the power charts, but I am adjusting both speed and power, unlike the TBM where the TQ increases as I reduce RPM. I haven't flown the Arrows in too long to comment on how the constant speed prop works there.

    Thanks! Apparently selecting the KX155B for both left and right gives the configuration without any GPS navigation. Did not expect that.

    I just tried it loading a plan into the world map first. Showed up in the GNS, did not affect the ETM functionality.

    Oh indeed brilliantly simulated! The co-pilots AI is indeed vacuum controlled as in the manual and it's the pilots reserve A(D)I that is controlled by the ADI 2 switch (so it is electric) but you only notice this at start-up if it is not spinning yet but then switching it off at first does not seem to do anything as it is still spinning. Nice!

    Glad you were able to catch it! I wanted to be as rare and special as it is in real aircraft (it's one of the only items on my aviation bucket list), but sometimes I worry that I made it too rare to be enjoyed in a flight simulator. If you do get a good video, be sure to share it with the community, since I don't think many people have seen it!

    The left rolling tendency you are getting under full power in a climb and with the ailerons neutral is due to engine torque. Having to correct with right aileron is normal. You should notice that after you reduce power and level out in cruise that the decrease in AOA and power will allow for a close to neutral aileron input for level flight.

    I've seen that the KNS81 now triggers new arm-modes on the autopilot, could it be that changing the source on the HSI should do the same? If so, one would be free to go to other NAV-modes on the HSI, to prepare course etc., without disengaging the current AP NAV mode. It would make sense if it's how it works in the real aircraft? But I'm just guessing...

    @Raller Once I found your livery, I stopped looking and haven't used anything else. It's gorgeous, and nice to know you spend the time and effort to be sure it's up to date.

    Please disregard this post, I just saw another thread from September in which the developer addresses this.

    I think I've found the issue. "Black Square TBM 850 Enhanced Cockpit" mod from flightsim.to was the issue. I removed that from my community and so far so good. Will do a test flight now to see

    LOL... Look closely at the image of the real 850. There is still wing under and above the boots, it's just that it's white and blends in with the background. It's an optical illusion that the wings on the BS 850 is twice the size. The boots might be covering more of the leading edge, but that's it.

  • Wind indication in HSI does not consider magnetic variation

    Not familiar with your equipment, but… Real World. Is the HSI mechanical or is it an MFD (multi function display)? If it is an MFD there may be an option to display the ‘HSI’ hdg as magnetic or true. That will be indicated my a ‘M’ or ‘T’ symbol, typically shown at the top of the display. What ever the case, unless otherwise indicated, a wind arm / speed would normally follow the convention of the hdg source for the HSI display. But to further complicate matters. The computer wind direction/speed can be derived from all manner of data; TRK, G/S, TAS, EAS, OAT, etc, etc. What (wind and speed) is shown is that which is being experienced by the a/c in flight, so in the real world it would be at altitude - NOT surface wind. I hope that helps, sorry if it doesn’t. BTW, at extremes of latitude some equipment manufacturers require the a/c to be flown with reference to true hdg only.
