Climbing to 5,000 feet;
1. Press AP to engage Roll and Pitch Hold.
2. Press ALT to capture current altitude and engage altitude hold mode.
3. Press ALT again to engage altitude adjust mode.
4. Use the Multi-Function Knob to adjust the altitude value to 5,000ft.
5. When the altitude mode reverts to altitude hold mode (static green light), use the Multi-Function Knob to adjust your vertical speed component.
6. When at the selected altitude, the autopilot will cancel your climb and level off.

I have tried this in game and it seems to work - providing you are straight and level when you start.

EDIT:  OK, the following sort of works as well, but not both at once ??. 

Turning to heading 090 degrees;
1. Press AP to engage Roll and Pitch Hold.
2. Press HDG to capture current heading and engage heading hold mode.
3. Press HDG again to engage heading adjust mode.
4. Use the Multi-Function Knob to adjust the heading value to 090 degrees.
5. The aircraft will commence the turn onto heading as soon as you begin to adjust the value.

Ok I had a quick look at this.

Apparently you are meant to change these settings with the little Iris ACMP panel by hitting AP, then pressing either alt or hdg in the mini panel until they flash and then turning the knob next to the AP button (rather than use the knobs on the main display).

I was able to get some settings to change that way but I suspect it is still not working as expected.   But as I said I am no expert on AP so it may have been me doing something dumb.

 

NOTE: I also had the autopilot off nose dive issue at one point but I think that may be the same issue cat is having with the PBM and more sim related rather than specific to this mod.

No problem is  not with  autopilot but with knobs on Garmin PFD. Heading. course and barometer setting  don't work on Garmin

WT seems like it’s constantly fixing the Garmin shortcomings for @Asobo... hopefully they are realizing that and will bring them on staff.

They couldn't pay me enough, mate.

Both literally and figuratively. 😄

That's strange.   The G3X is a bit confusing but the basic functionality, at least, seems to work even if it's not by the book.   You've tried these same things in the XCub and they're fine?

They all do in the XCub, for me. Get @kaosfere’s latest Dev2, and maximize the PDF FULL SCREEN for VOR CRS. I even manipulate it all with my VRInsight MCP a la @ScotFlieger and @guenseli ‘s brilliant LINDA software for ALL default a/c.

HTH- C

I understand mate- remain obliged.

Hopefully they get it sorted, the aircraft has so much going for it, nice to fly and little touches like the opening doors and the smoke that comes in to the cabin if you overheat the engine.

Then it is let down by these sort of issues.

Even before the WT mod those basic functions worked, though.    Which means there's something uniquely wrong with it in the Jabiru, or a misunderstanding of how it works.   That's why I asked if it worked for him in the XCub. 🙂

But yes, everyone should have dev2 and enjoy it.   Here's the link for anyone else who has this plane:

To make it clear. With G3X mod or without. With full screens or split screen. PFD knobs don't  work

I agree with that, the hand icon appears but nothing happens when you try and adjust them.

So if I want  do little navigation or set a barometer, I can't 😞

I mainly fly steam gauge planes VFR and have never bothered much with glass cockpits. Is it possible to map GX3 controls to a keyboard or controller button ?

OK,

Some flight models  thoughts.

Airplane stall reminds me a "falling leaf" maneuver . Coordinated or not It just simply lowers a bit nose but don't traditionally stall like say 172/152 when you have to brake the stall and recover. I haven't flown it so I'm not going to comments if its true or not . However, at 1G stall I notices it stalls well above lower end of white arc on airspeed indicator which suppose to represent Vs0 (stall in landing configuration). So there is either problem with  airspeed gauge or airplane itself .

Controls does have a nice feel. Not witchy or sensitive 

When you touch down or take off there is smoke come up from floor into cockpit. Not sure what make of that

During initial climb there seems like insufficient rudder authority. Even when keeping  airplane coordinated  in climb (ball centered) it still rolling to the left. You actually have to skid airplane to compensate for roll or use aileron which is not professional.

I don't know what to say guys. But even Carenado get those basic things right. I don't how it was tested by "real pilots" and they didn't catch it 😞
