Inverters
-
Hi
In the King Air 350 there are separate switches for Inverter 1 and 2, but my Sim is a King Air 200 and it have only one switch where you select Inv1 OR 2.
This means that I always have a #1 AC BUS or #2 AC BUS warning.
What would the right approach be: to just turn on both inverters no matter if I select 1 or 2, or would this not be good?
I know it is just a toy, but I want it to be as accurate as possible .-)
Anyone with knowledge on this, I have heard that @Black-Square is a real world King Air pilot?

Wow, that's a great looking piece of hardware! Did you purchase it somewhere, or create it yourself?
Obviously there is nothing I can really recommend as the most realistic for hardware that does not represent the virtual aircraft. Also, I'm not a King Air pilot, just a private pilot and aircraft owner. Sorry to disappoint. The best I can think of would be to either make a small code edit to the King Air that would clear up the warnings for you (I can suggest that, if you like), or to change the behavior of the hardware so that it triggers both inverters in either direction.

@Black-Square Thank you, it's a fantastic project, it is a 25 year old King Air 200 simulator that I am rebuilding for MSFS2024 using your 350 model.
A lot of work and a lot of fun, for now 95% of all instruments and controls are working, and it is still WIP.I solved the inverter problem, so choosing INV1 actually turns on both inverters, INV2 only turns on number 2, so I can still get a red warning
Some instruments are real, I have rebuild them using servos and steppers, and the flight instruments are screens with Air Manager

@reiler Wow, this is amazing! I wish I had the space for a home cockpit. It'd be tough to decide what to build, but a King Air would definitely be in the top 5, if not the top 3.
