Lol, I did a Mooney flight (really just a few circuits) last night at Trondheim.  My copilot started yammering on the radio requesting pushback, so While the tug was getting into position, I pushed the throttle forward, and started my taxi.  No push back needed for me, no sir.  I was just about to turn right on the taxiway to the active runway, and I slowed down a few seconds to check something when BAM!  Pushback tug in front of me locked in and pushing me back.  Chased me down he did, nobody leaves this joint without a pushback!

Hi Eddie, welcome to the club!

This is indeed looking to be a bumpy ride, but there is much to like here!

I have a trusty old CH Products yoke and have it set up with -40% in both aileron and elevator sensitivity.  Not sure if anything changed with the latest patch..  others have been complaining..

Either way, with these settings, the Mooney seems quite well behaved and very controllable.

The way I fly the autopilot, is that I preselect the target altitude on the ground, and with the autopilot in FD mode, I press the ARM button on the preselector.

Then, when stabilized after takeoff, I engage the autopilot and it flies the airplane.

Bert,

Have you figured out how to set up the GNS530 to track up?

Can't wait for RXP to come onboard.

Thanks.

I have had something like this occur in another aircraft as well, but at perhaps 5° instead of 10° increments.  Do not recall which model, but most of my time has been in the DA62, G36, and 172's.  I do not own the Carenado 182, and yesterday's M20 flight was my first in an MFS payware aircraft.

Is this issue I am experiencing the 10° issue referred to in FSUIPC topics about Honeycomb Alpha yokes?  I started a flight this afternoon able to tune either CRS or HDG in 1° increments, but a new minutes later when leveled off and cruising, tuning went to 10° increments again.  If so is there any fix other than FSUIPC and a script?

I was tempted, but I am not going to buy a zigzagging airplane with failing avionics.

Am I a crazy person now or should I take my medication? 😛🙃

I have to admit something after posting this earlier.........🥴 🤥

I could not resist and bought it and .....

Having so much fun! No avionics failure here

Here is my setup with Airmanager:

I purchased it and I love it, so far 

Just wish I could zoom out a bit more, from the cockpit view

There is no figuring out... it is not currently supported..

As for RXP... it will be a while, I suspect.   The current SDK does not offer a solution.

OK. Thanks for confirming.

interesting, yet I dont see the product listed on their website.  Would have liked to see some screen shots.

Look at the Alabeo web site. The M20 for P3D or XPlane  is the same airplane.

Not an in depth avionics addition so no go.

Waiting on PMDG...and the $$ for a new monitor.

As the autopilot zig zags on GPS NAV tracking, if you disconnect and reconnect NAV, just as the CDI passes through zero, the NAV now locks onto the course, and holds it!

It is almost as if the autopilot has a "course mode" and a "fine mode" and the Carenado planes get stuck in "course mode"..  With this information, I am certain that Carenado can fix this behavior in a patch.

Edit:

BTW.. you may need to re-apply this fix after a course change on the GNS530 🙂

..lost a line in the editing process..

Might also be time for @sd_flyer to apologize for bashing Carenado, not to even mention other users on here who were actually looking at the fuel flow gauge right in front of their noses...

This was misunderstanding that  I in fact admitted.  However, fuel totalizers  I used in real life are actually very precise in estimating fuel flow. So there much research to be done. 

 Since it seems you know more than me would be so kind to explain me how Carenado fuel totalizer work and why it come up with numbers in reverse?
