Andrey is close to releasing an update to this airplane, beta in final test as best I can tell.

Do you think it will include an optional GPS mod? 😍

also some nice greasing it in touchdown sounds

You can easily search for more.  Just type in piaggio.

Hello @ll,

just thought that I should put this out there. The knobs in the cockpit can be controlled with LVARs

For example, the COM knobs:

1. left hand COM knob, that controls the "whole" digits of the frequency:

Script for increasing the digits (118 - 136):
(L:PG_comm_knob_l,·Number)·140·>·if{·14·}·els{·(L:PG_comm_knob_l,·Number)·7·+·}·(>L:PG_comm_knob_l,·Number)

Script for decreasing the digits:
(L:PG_comm_knob_l,·Number)·14·<·if{·140·}·els{·(L:PG_comm_knob_l,·Number)·7·-·}·(>L:PG_comm_knob_l,·Number)

2. Right hand COM knob, that controls the left portion of the "fract" digits of the frequency:

Script for increasing the digits (0.0 - 0.9):
(L:PG_comm_knob_r,·Number)·70·>·if{·7·}·els{·(L:PG_comm_knob_r,·Number)·7·+·}·(>L:PG_comm_knob_r,·Number)

Script for decreasing the digits:
(L:PG_comm_knob_r,·Number)·14·<·if{·70·}·els{·(L:PG_comm_knob_r,·Number)·7·-·}·(>L:PG_comm_knob_r,·Number)

3. Inner part of the right hand COM knob, that controls the 25KHz portion of the "fract" digits of the frequency:

Script for increasing the digits (x00 -x75):
(L:PG_comm_knob_r_in,·Number)·28·>·if{·14·}·els{·(L:PG_comm_knob_r_in,·Number)·7·+·}·(>L:PG_comm_knob_r_in,·Number)

Script for decreasing the digits
(L:PG_comm_knob_r_in,·Number)·14·<·if{·28·}·els{·(L:PG_comm_knob_r_in,·Number)·7·-·}·(>L:PG_comm_knob_r_in,·Number)

Edit: It shouldn't be too hard to make a script that adjusts these knobs so they dial in the COM1 standby frequency at the push of a button.
Edit 2: here is the script. When you trigger this, it will write the current COM1 standby frequency into the radio of the plane:

Quote

(A:COM·STANDBY·FREQUENCY:1,·seconds)·1000·/·s1·1000·/·flr·117·-·7·*·(>L:PG_comm_knob_l,·Number)·l1·1000·%·100·/·flr·7·*·7·+·(>L:PG_comm_knob_r,·Number)·l1·100·%·25·/·7·*·7·+·(>L:PG_comm_knob_r_in,·Number)

Use these scripts in your prefered controller assignment software and you can turn the knobs from the outside (Joystick, MIDI, Keyboard etc.). The scripts are in the classic RPN notation, but it should be easy to convert them to LUA etc.

Best regards

Hi guys! My girls are hot and sometimes not. Is this a model or simulator bug?

Simulator.

The Jabiru sometimes does it as well. A few other planes.

Some users report a temporary work around is too change pilot Avatars in the options menu and save the change. If you want the original avatar just change back and save again.  The problem eventually returns but the work around might get you out of trouble if you are trying to make a video or take a screenshot.

Thanks, I'll try to do this.
