January 21, 201610 yr Author Now that would be a first class add on. Many folks delay purchasing the F1GTN, probably due to price, but once they make that step, they are extremely satisfied. I hear quite often - "I wish I had made the decision to get the F1GTN months ago, it adds so very much to the immersion and the accuracy of flying".Regards,Ray Now that would be a first class add on.

I did not purchased it yet because I get extremely bored flying the magenta line. Maybe that will change soon Cheers N.-
January 21, 201610 yr RealAir Lancair Legacy and extremely bored are an unlikely combination :smile: Bert
January 21, 201610 yr There is only one thing, in my view, that the Bay Tower RV7 needs. A change of pilot! I defy anyone to get in one and not do a roll, loop, knife-edge or any kind of aerobatic shenanigans! All for a piddling $25. If you paid $30 for the FDR Navion wouldn't feel robbed. If it scares you that a forum is closed, then you got some really scary sh!t coming your way. EDIT: The P38 is coming along nicely. :smile: EDIT: EDIT: The RealAir Lancair is nice enough but too 'pristine' for my liking. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
January 21, 201610 yr Author Thanks Rob and Bert EDIT: Nice!! EDIT EDIT: For me too, but i Turbo-version (or turbine maybe?) 'd be great to have. I will wait and save for the time being... ! I almost forgot I have the F15 on DCS to maintain me busy! Cheers N.-
January 21, 201610 yr Doesn't the RV7 have an HSI with glideslope capability?

January 21, 201610 yr Glideslope capability? Isn't that 'pointing it at the ground' :smile: If so, then yes. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
January 21, 201610 yr Doesn't the RV7 have an HSI with glideslope capability? Or am I dreaming this? It does, but for RNAV approaches only... as best I recall.. Bert
January 21, 201610 yr I would think ils would work - now you've got me thinking - I'll install a virgin RV7 into FSX no rxp and see Glideslope capability? Isn't that 'pointing it at the ground' :smile: If so, then yes.

Let me know Oh! I was exploring the Ron library the other day... I'd purchase the RV7 just to fly 661RV Cheers N.-
January 22, 201610 yr There is definitely ILS (with GS) and VOR capability without RXP | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
January 22, 201610 yr There is definitely ILS (with GS) and VOR capability without RXP For hand flying maybe, but the autopilot will not fly NAV or ILS in VLOC mode. Bert
January 22, 201610 yr The OP asked about flying a vertical path and an "IFR approach" so I took that to mean ILS with GS... But yes Bert is correct, the autopilot will only fly a GNSS track (GPS course) or a heading, and you can select vertical speed for a climb. But there is no altitude arm (or ALTS mode), and there is no approach mode. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

January 22, 201610 yr Author Ryan, call me noob, but how can i follow the vertical path of the GS ILS without any gauges like a cessna? I'm sure i'm missing something I don't see the HSI having a bar for the vertical path.. Only the lateral http://www.simforums.com/forums/uploads/1186/RV_beta_5.jpg The OP asked about flying a vertical path and an "IFR approach" so I took that to mean ILS with GS...
