July 24, 200619 yr I guess this one goes to Bob :) ,I have seen this feature on some planes where the nav instruments can be selected to run on gyro-only. I have a video of a Canadian airline doing just this due to magnetic unreliabilty issues. In fact, for FS, there are some Russian-plane panels that use this feature and work quite nicely. I beleive this capability would add an extra sense of realism to the panel :). I am sure many airports close to the polar areas require this feature for navigation. Just a thought. :)regards,Macs :)
July 25, 200619 yr It's possible to do, but...First, since our TM II is INS-equipped, it should be getting its heading (and attitude) info from the inertial platform rather than a directional gyro updated by the mag flux valve.Second, if I were to do it, invariably about 50 people that can't be bothered to read the docs would leave the switch in mag hdg and then send me hate mail about how screwed up my awful panel programming is. "Geez, Bob, it doesn't even get the heading right..."So...maybe, someday, but no time soon.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
