Setting the heading indicator

Featured Replies

Does anyone know how to set the heading indicator/gyro (not the heading bug) in the carenado Pilatus pc 12 in P3D v4?

(realistically, without using the "D" key...) 😉

 

Thanks.

Simulators:  Prepar3D v3.4, Prepar3D v4.5, FSX:SE, FSX:Gold Edition

Using the FSX Deluxe Edition SDK SP2 for development.

In the real airplane, there is no need.  It does not drift.

The gyro drift in the sim is a bug.

Someone just sent me this:

"..change the gyro direction indicator from 1,0 to 3,0
according to someone on AVSim that is the right setting for the type
of gauge the PC-12 has. And we don't have to use the re-sync gyro
shortcut D key when the gyro drift is enabled."

In the aircraft.cfg file:

[direction_indicators]
//1 Type: 0=None, 1=Vacuum Gyro, 2=Electric Gyro, 3=Electro-Mag Slaved Compass, 4=Slaved to another
//2 Indicator number of slaving indicator if Type = 4
direction_indicator.0=3,0
