  1. I was actually assuming the GPS unit would be developed/extended as well instead just using the default one. I found simplefmc to be a very good freeware tool for inputting navigational information for LRN with support of airways, sids and stars. Much closer to a functioning rnav unit then that usless and incompatent supposed representation by the default one. Simply looking at it as half way to a UNS1k unit on the pedestal, with the gps screen as an MFD.

    SIDS and STARS are supported. You find them by pushing the procedures key on the GPS.  The important thing is to make sure you have the Nav data installed and upto date. Also not all airports have procedures. I have a Navigraph subscription and it works fine though you occasionally get an airport they miss putting procedures in for. Usually smaller regional airports. 

    Go to an airport you know has sids and stars. Load in a flight plan then push procedures key. There will be a menus with departures plus approach and arrival pages for your destination.. Hope that helps.

     

    Thats the problem. I only have approach related prompts on the proc page. And looking at xplane10/resources/GNS430/navdata i already have many sids stars included in .txt files. But they dont show up in the sim.

    If there are no custom commands listed in the sim then you can assume the switch uses a default command,

     

    DO you happen  to have the dataref for external power cart connection? Trying to set it automatically without having to check the menu every time loading the sim.

  4. How severe is the ground handling? I tired both demo versions with stock models, and while in XP11 aircrafts do turn immediately towards the wind with engines off, take off in XP10 was pretty much impossible as well. Instead of better rudder authority as you speed up, it very rapidly become twitchy and completely uncontrollable until it starts turning around while skating along the runway.

  5. With FSX one can easily look around using the mouse and spacebar with smooth angular and zoom movements. In xplane i only managed to look around by dragging the mouse which is inconvenient by itself with the need to also zoom at the same time, but movement is sharp and abrupt. Is there a way to view around like in FSX?

  6. Thank you for clarification. I did write Rnav. Obviously traditional navigation is still applicable using dual nav/adf recievers.

    Im interested to know whether its possible to program a single key press for example to bring down the gust lock and simultaneously turn off both bleeds, or another keypress for switching different external lights when approaching the runway. Also whether full physical throttle range can extend only from idle detent to max for better sensitivity. And lastly for those with a single throttle axis, assigning a key which, when held, increases/decreases CL position at a constant rate until it reaches MAX/MIN respectively where further movement is locked. I could achieve these using fsuipc, however i coudlnt find information regarding any datarefs/commands introduced with your addon.

  7. As a sole FSX user, icoudlnt find much information regarding controll settings for this addon:

     

    -With the majestic q400 it was possible to set any detent position at a specific physical hardware posiiton. So flight idle detent could be set at lowest physical throttle range    (reverse still possible using throttle decrease key F2). Do you offer a similar way of handling axis setting?

    -Using offsets it was possible to define buttons to control range (such as pitch trim). Will it be doable to use a key for increasing/decreasing CL position within a set range?

    -Lua scripts and mouse macros allowed for multiple actions within the VC to take place using single key press. So one could press "6" for taxi light off, landing light on and strobe on, or pressing "d" to toggle the gustlock. Is it also possible  with your product and xplane using datarefs?

    Can one save panel states similar to pmdg with default state at startup?

     

    Also

    -On many video the aircraft seems to oscillate pitching up and down when taxiing. Is it intended?

    -Which line model (airline/registration) was used as a reference when it was decided to incorporate a single 530 as sole rnav source?

    Thanks in advance
