Hows the Islander?

Featured Replies

OK.. ta very much, Ron.. I had a bash with the Carenado 182Q, a couple of weeks ago, but the old knobs all stick through the new panels. There's a sort-of second layer of the original instrument under the new one..What did you find to be a problem with the KLN 90?

Too much demand on an ever depleting supply of brain cells. :wacko:Oh, and no pictures.

And if anyone uses ORBX PNW, does the Islander fly slow enough for the ground textures to load? Thats why I almost never fly heavy metal out of SEA/PDX/YVR, the ground textures just do not load going 240 knots at 9,000 feet!

At 90kts you're "bombing" around in the BN-2!!

Hi RonI know the screen is not up to the modern gps's and it can be a little difficult inputting a flight plan but the D-to works fine, but this is better if you subscribe and up the nav data.you can get up some form of moving plan (no terrain) if you have a flight plan or D-to in, have both screens on nav5 and then press crsr and add the APT,VOR or the NBD, screen gets a little cluttered but it helps. there is also an option to change the scale.bob

Hello Bob.

Don't know what that means, but it sounds suspiciously like having to use brain power (see above)I'm very happy using a 430 pop-up. Gets me where I'm going, whilst leaving spare room for planning my next beer!

Don't worry - as I said, the BN-2 islander is a seriously slow aircraft. I usually fly at about 120 knots I think. I find it perfect for flights around OrbX sceneries because of that. Gets me a very smooth experience with many sliders rather high. I'll even go as far as saying that it's one of the few aircraft where I can do that!
