August 23, 200916 yr Ok, I give up! Where's the radio stack on Flight One's Piper Meridian?! If there isn't one (and there doesn't appear to be one) how (and where!) the heck do you enter com or nav1/nav2 frequencies (without using the FS flight planner or FSnavigator)?Can it only be done through the Garmin GNS 530? I'm as much for realism as the next guy but in this case, I think Flight One went a bit over the top. If I wanted this much realism I'd go out (if I had the funds to get a pilot's license) and learn how to fly the real Piper Meridian! It might be less frustrating...I did track down the pdf files for the GNS 530 GPS, GTX 327 Transponder, and the GMA 340 Audio Panel used in Flight One's Piper Meridian. The latter appears to be virtually useless as it describes the features and identifies the buttons of the GMA 340 Audio Panel but thats all. It doesn't appear to say anything about how to use the panel to set com/nav frequencies...Scott Edited August 23, 200916 yr by Scott Miller
August 23, 200916 yr You have to enter the nav/com frequencies by hand into that Garmin GPS. You can not import flight plans into it either. You have to enter those by hand as well. It's probably the main reason why I don't fly my Meridian as much as I use to. The GPS is the nav1/nav2 and com1/com2 by the way.I've never tried to add another GPS to it but it might work. I know that Friendly Panels has a similar GPS stack and thought about giving it a go but just never got around to it. Maybe someone else will chime in and tell us both if it works or not :)Mark
