May 22, 201115 yr In the lower left of the F33 panel is very small inst I have no idea what it is for. It has two SW, one operates and is labeled FREE, the other is CW. Tnere is also a small window in it that has a + and a - on it. When I operate the SW I do not see any thing happening. What is it for and what does it do.

What is it for and what does it do.It is the slaving panel for the HSI (look it up on Google)"An electronic compass - mounted somewhere on the airframe that is relatively free of interference from electrical & magnetic fields - sends a signal to electric motors in the HSI. The motors move the compass card/gyro combination of the HSI to keep it in sync. with the remote compass. It removes the need to periodically manually set the compass card of the directional indicator/HSI to the wet compass.In case there's problem with the signals from the remote compass the slaving can be disabled so the HSI's compass functions now behave like a standard, manually set directional indicator. The electrical motors are now manually controlled with a couple of buttons to set the compass card to the wet compass. "It does not actually do anything in this simulation. Bert
