Ok, so with the health warning out of the way;  has anyone tried this yet? ........ I can't remember if the ES SR22's Avidyne displays are 'locked' gauges or not, or whether FS Panel Studio will freely let me add them to the Carenado SR22, in place of the hoggy G1000.

 

A SR22 with Carenado's nice texturing (and Sounds, which are superior to Eaglesoft's in this plane), but with Eaglesoft's frame-rate-friendly Glass Displays (and perhaps FDE) sounds ok to me.   :smile:

 

Anyway, I own both products so I am about to find out ......... wish me luck!

Good luck. IMHO they wouldn't seem to fit right together.

Hope you get this working.

 

If only Carenado supported their products after release... I would even settle for the SR22 to have the more framerate friendly G1000 from the TBM850, but no dice, my attempt to surgical transplant the TBM850 G1000 into the SR22 via panel.cfg never powered on.

 

I think transplanting the Mindstar and other G1000s will also be difficult due to the way the SR22 MFD buttons are located on a separate pedestal gauge and not to the right of the MFD.

 

Anyhow wish you luck and hope someone has a breakthrough as I love the SR22 besides the framerate in busy areas.

Nope, it's a total non-starter. I'm afraid.     :(

 

My attempts just confirmed that it would require action from Carenado to offer a 'G1000 delete' alternative model, that removed the G1000's 3D assets from the model.

 

3D issues apart, the ES Avidyne did not want to power up either.   Possibly some limitations tieing it the specific model it belongs to.  

 

Then I remembered, I own the standalone Flight 1 Avidyne suite:

 

 ( http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=fsavidyne  )

 

...a product I bought about 6 years ago and have literally never used!

 

So I kind of got it working in the Carenado SR22 but buttons were blocking things and the screen was out of line, and all sorts of other issues.

 

What we really do need then, is to persuade Carenado to release an alternative Model file that has two large blank spaces (flat!) where the G1000 normally is - so people can slot in Mindstar / Default G1000 / Avidyne, or any other owned alternative avionics gauges.

I have both products also.  I really do like Carenado's Cirrus SR22.  I've been flying it a lot lately.

I wish they had the flight planning function working like it does on the Kingair, but since I just do short flights with it over Orbx scenery, the direct to function works fine.

Well tonight's foray into "SR22 Blending" has not gone in vain. :wink:

 

I used the Eaglesoft's SR22 .air file, with the Carenado, and also copied all content of the Eaglesoft's Aircraft.cfg from the [Weight and Balance] section down.

 

If I tell you that the Eaglesoft SR22's aircraft.cfg reveals "FDE by Rob Young", you won't be surprised to hear that my Carenado SR22 now looks the biz, and flies like a dream!

Thanks !!!That is good to know.  Please post full info so that we  can also have a proper sr22. I love the Sr22. Did you manage to get the  avidyne working ?

 

 

V

He can not post the aircraft.cfg contents nor the .air file contents.  They are part of a product he purchased and aren't legally redistributable.

 

Aside from that, he told you what he did... so if you own both aircraft, you can duplicate his results.

Thank you Mr Ed (Wilson) .I don't remember reading if he finally got the avidyne working.He said something was not working right but then I don't know if he tested again.

Hi Vic, No attempts to get any alternative avionics into the Carenado SR22 will work, because of the 3D modelling.   :(

 

So that project was abandoned.

 

As Ed said, I cannot redistribute any assets of the Eaglesoft SR22 or the Carenado SR22 (eg.. air files or aircraft.cfgs), but if you own both aircrafts, to get Rob Young's awesome FDE from the Eaglesoft SR22 model into the visually more appealing Carenado SR22 model, all you need do is :-

 

• Make a back up of the .air file in the Carenado SR22's main aircraft folder.
• Copy the .air file from the Eaglsoft SR22 aircraft folder, and place it in the Carenado SR22 aircraft folder
• Rename the copied Eaglesoft .air file, to the name of the original Carenado .air file. (Which is "sr22t.air")
• Carefully open both the aircraft.cfg files for the Carenado SR22, and the same for the Eaglesoft SR22.
• Highlight, and copy the whole of the Eaglesoft aircraft.cfg content, from the top of the [weight and balance] section, right to the end of the document.
• Highlight the same section ([Weight and Balance] down to end of doc) in the Carenado SR22 aircraft.cfg, and PASTE onto it.    (overwriting the Carenado content with the Eaglesoft content).
• File and save both aircraft.cfg's and go and fly your Carenado SR22, with Rob Young FDE. :smile:

Thanks Dave !

There are some difference though in the G2 and G3 Turbo models... I suppose the immediate difference isn't noticeable.

True.   I thought about that, and wondered also if I'd see any oddities with flap behaviour and function, etc, but I can't notice anything - it just flies more fluidly and less pitchy.   Just flies like the Eaglesoft one basically - but with the Carenado's good looks.

Now you know why there can be no support for such actions including the Avionics merge...

Yep.  It's perfectly undertandable. :smile:
