March 12, 20179 yr I really missed hand flying DME arcs and good old style RMI flying in this airplane, so I have incorporated a stock FSX Baron RMI gauge into the panel. For those who are old school like me, maybe you crave into this very simple mod. First I would like to thank our mentor Bert for sharing the ADF radio mod into the stack (though I like his radio better but don't have it)--not to mention the F1 GTN gauges. Before stating the mods I don't know if permission is needed from Carenado, or if there is any interest. The RMI looks a bit funky compared to the beautiful 3D gauges in the panel, but it does the job for me. The double green needle points to your NAV2 radio frequency VOR or LOC, and the tail of the arrow will always tell you in which radial you are, no matter whether you are flying to or from the station. This is useful to give position reports to non radar ATC areas along with a DME reading. The yellow needle points to the NDB frequency in the ADF Radio. The mod involves placing the useful digital Shadin fuel meter where the GEM6 gauge is above the backup attitude and directional gyros are, and the RMI in its place. This is what it looks like.

March 12, 20179 yr Please, would you mind to send me a copy of panel.cfg? Pleaaaase!!! [email protected]
March 13, 20179 yr Can you upload the .cfg to the files section? Old school myself and very weary of GPS this and GTN that installed in every thing today. I miss the days of NDB holds and approaches where you actually had to know how to fly and navigate on your own. Gary Stewart
March 13, 20179 yr Author Please standby I am clarifying with Carenado permission to share the mods. They said OK if it involves only codes but I cannot upload any files, models or gauges. Since I am only using stock FSX gauges available to anyone and changing the lines in the panel.cfg, I am assuming it will be ok but just want to be sure. Alberto Ferracuti

I miss the days of NDB holds and approaches where you actually had to know how to fly and navigate on your own. I hear you about the old days. I started off in the stone age(1970s) and retired last year. I saw more than a few younger people blindly wanting to follow the gps when the rmi was giving them the correct info but they couldn't put the picture together. If safety wasn't an issue it was a good learning exercise. This is not a shot at the younger folks as a lot of them learned faster than I did LOL. Picture this...CYRT (Rankin Inlet) in the Canadian arctic...uncontrolled airspace (controlled started at FL230), only an FSS, it's the middle of the day and their version of an aviation rush hour is happening with the following types of aircraft.... GA aircraft, HS748, Saab340, ATRs, 737 and the occasional F18 as it's a forward operating location. There's now gps approaches but before that it was vor/dme with arcs. Everyone is calmly working out where all the traffic is, working out sequence of who's going next on the approach/ departing etc.There's enough traffic that parking space on the ramp is really tight. This worked fine whether IFR to minimums or VFR. It was a true example of professionals doing old style navigation .....and it worked. I enjoy doing this kind of nav on P3d (I enjoy the fms stuff too). Wish I'd had a chance to experience the radio range. Dave

February 22, 20188 yr Hi Alf, I was looking everywhere to find a Beech Baron with ADF VOR Needle Gauge but the Cerenado payversion doesn´t. It would be so great if you could share your mode as well with me! I am at the moment doing IFR classes so it would be very helpful!! thank you in advance!! PM: [email protected] grettings Harry!!!!
July 30, 20187 yr Good Morning! I bought from SimHack,order [XXXX] ,the aircrat Le Baron 58 for prepar 3d V4. I didn't find the ADF receiver in this aircraft. In the Brazil several charts need this receiver. I would like to add RMI in this aircraft Can you help me? Regards Edemar
July 30, 20187 yr Administrators I sure hope you meant SimShack! Please do not put personal order numbers or email addresses in your posts.

July 30, 20196 yr Can you email me the modified cfg file?Plz [email protected] If releasing the modified panel.cfg isn't possible, could you do a simple guide on how to modify that? I'm actually needing to use the ndb for IFR flight training
August 21, 20196 yr Any chance that you email me the mod please? [email protected] Kind regards and many thx in advance! Btw, is there something else needed for this mod than the Panel.cfg? ------- I5-6600K non-oc, GTX 1070, 16GB RAM
December 14, 20205 yr Hi there; I'm late to the game, but I would love to have a copy myself, can I have a copy please? [email protected]
June 20, 20214 yr Buenas tardes. Me gustaría conseguir una copia, porque sin RMI es muy difícil seguir un arco DME. Mi correo [email protected] Gracias y un saludo.
