I'm interested to hear about flight dynamics and also this custom GNS430 of theirs. The screenshots they have on the website are pretty fantastic.

Thanks!!!This has been a great week for my sim experience.

I'm sad to say that, out of the box, this one's about what you'd expect from them. It looks dynamite - their best effort ever, IMO. However, it's got some glaring flight model errors. The one I'm struggling with right now is the excessive takeoff run. One thing that Carenado has shown (especially lately, with the 185) is a willingness to keep thrashing away at the FDE until it's workable. With the help of some outside experts, they got the Skywagon flying really nicely. I'm sure this will be more of the same. It looks so good, I don't mind just washing and polishing it while we wait for the mechanics to show. :(

Yes we need some experts here... one guy on the SoH forums has already tried some things....

Has anyone had any luck with the "No 3d knobs" models?I would expect them to be modification friendly but whenI examine them, they are anything but... and they have 3d knobs...

Are you sure? I am using them with success - both single and dual yoke options!Make sure you actually change the aircraft.cfg to reflect the new model.xxxedit: also not sure if it is required, BUT, I copied the no knobs folder to my bonanza/ folder with the rest of the model folders and then renamed them to something simpler.So I have:modelmodel.IImodel.noknobsmodel.noknobs2Anyway, I just slipped in the GTX327 at the bottom - it's a little small but looks better than what was there I think. And the GMA340 works perfect at the top! At night the light map is off (for the 327) but it actually looks sorta cool. The lightmap is off for the RXP Garmin as well but I can deal with it - I normally use the popup for entering information or pause Track IR. If anyone could help with the lightmaps I'd love you forever lolf33radiosn.jpg

OK, I'm making some headway, but the radio placement is going to be a problem...

Have a look in the texture.common folder... you'll have to edit 3_night and 4_night.bmp

Here is the best compromise for now... having the 530 pop upwhen clicking the 430 in the panel, or clicking the HSI.

I'd like to figure out how to put two Reality xp 430's in the cockpit and get rid of one of the adf's. Still not sure why there are two adf's tied together...
