 Any documentation about, flight planning (optimun FL, fuel req, etc)

Thanks!

I will have a look for the light. You can get those numbers from this manual http://www.smartcockpit.com/docs/P180_Avanti-Specification_and_Description.pdf

Also smartcockpit has all manuals for Avanti systems. http://www.smartcockpit.com/plane/PIAGGIO/AVANTI.html

Beautiful airplane, but I can't get a lot of it to work... PFD/MFD not displaying correctly... All of the click and drag switches don't work... Any tips? Thanks! I can't get the starters or anything to work. I used start with engines running and the engine gauges don't work at all. No maps...

Make sure to read the description well. Probably you are missing the Gizmo plugin. If you have any problems, please post your Log.txt.

When I install the Gizmo on this Piaggio Avanti, I don't know why my artificial horizon is changing. You can change it?

Re: Throttles and Condition Levers. Known problem will be solved in the next release. For now, create a separate prifole for Avanti, and set 1 axis for both throttles, and none for condition levers.

One of the great quirks about the forum is when you quote someone it always appears as the header. It's kind of like walking into a room and farting loudly before you're able to speak. Please accept my apologies.

I digress. Superb A/C, just superb. 

Everything in the green and flies like a dream.

Here it comes. However, the condition lever is still buggy on my rig.

The real reward for me was to read the complete history of the build to see if it was only on my side. @airfighter, you must be exhausted. Is it true what they say about developer's: "The pay maybe lousy but at least the hours are long". I remember flying this in MSFS2004/FSX and had it been your creation back then you'd probably be comfortably retired by now and be know as a FS Icon. Great work.

To sum it up, no big deal. I'll man up and move them with the mouse.

Again, my thanks for a one of a kind aircraft.

Cordially,

Roger Halunen

Thank You @airfighter:

Sir Winston Churchill once said “Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing…usually only after they have exhausted all other possibilities. “

Or, if you prefer;

Q: How do you make a flight simmer dizzy?
A: Put him in a barrel and tell 'em to pee in the corner.

I am proud to announce that I have spent the morning trying my best to prove both of these statements to be true and correct; I have succeeded.

I came to realize that I must be two people because no one person could be this dumb. I got Avitab but could not get the Avanti menu. I checked Gizmo's drop down menu earlier and rifled through it finding nothing related. It wasn't until about my third time in the barrel that I saw the post on what the drop down should look like. Ah Ha moment. I had Gizmo set to “Disable Tool Tray” long ago since it was distracting. With the Gizmo tool tray restored and in place with one click I had the Avanti menu. From there it was easy to set to HW (Hardware) and I was off and running. The Condition Lever works perfectly now.

I think the greatest thing I've learned from both flying and simming is humility. I still have a lot to learn...

Again, my thanks and gratitude.

To prevent any further unease with humility I present a visual of my triumph.

Respectfully,
Roger Halunen

@rhalunenno worries my friend. It is also an omission from my side not to provide any current documentation that you can refer to. Been a side project many year now, I just add a few things when I have some spare time, leaving documentation out. I hope to find a few hours to put together a small pdf file with a few tips for such things.

Also I hope that I can be able to push soon a newer version with some extra stuff I have done a bit of work, like a custom ND with weather/terrain radar, and some FMC customizations.

Hi - I have a saitek throttle quadrant and am having troube asigning the condition levers to it - I want to use 1 lever for both throttles and the other two leveers for individual condition levers - but they act very erratically - they kinda "want" to follow my hardware inout, but then jump back to the detents - can you advise what I'm doing wrong? thanks :-)
