ADF suggestions, tweaks, and ideas

Thank you so much for finding that! I'm ashamed at how easy that seems, but when you're trying to keep track of some 20,000 lines of code per aircraft and everything else, it can be very easy to let something like this hold over from years ago. I've been meaning to implement the voice receive mode, since that's something I'm very familiar with myself. I'll add that to the list to do at the same time as the banking error. As you can imagine, the real time sink is not the coding, it's the testing. That's the fun of turning your hobby into a business, unfortunately. Thanks so much! You have been one of the most helpful and knowledgeable contributors of ideas that I've had in a while!

My pleasure! If you need any testing done, please let me know. My years of knowledge have to pay off somewhere. Oh and you can expect this level of detail with the Turbo Commander tips too. It's my curse

I'm not a RL pilot, but in-sim I love conventional nav and fiddly stuff, so this is right up my alley. And watching the magic happen here in this thread is cool, too -- so hats off and thanks to both of you. Super excited for the Baron & Bonanza release, and further on, the Caravan.

@Black-Square Super easy. Barely an inconvenience

Looks like the needles respond very quickly in the RMI-30, upwards of 180 degrees per second
@CdnCptMoustache I don't have anything to contribute to this, I just wanted to know I appreciated your Pitch Meeting reference

@YankeeTendy35 My humour may be terrible, but it sure is obscure. Glad someone caught it

Count me as an old school ifr pilot who loves shooting ndb approaches in sims. Even had an instructor one time give me an engine failure (twin), vacuum failure (partial panel) and simulated icing in a Frasca shooting an ndb approach back in the day

@Black-Square One more little thing for you. The double needle on the KI-229 should have a teeny tiny little "ADF" in it
I've also sent you an email
-
Oh and as an added thing, the VOR needle shouldn't be impacted by banking errors (or any of the other common ADF/NDB errors). Not that it is now, of course, but before you go nuts adding banking errors to needles

...with an 18 knot quartering crosswind component gusting to 26 knots, night IMC heavy precip so landing lights and strobes also are messing with you!
