Looks great , thanks for the link Ryan .

 

 

 

 

 

Been testing for 30 mins...

Great little plane! Couple oddities: VNAV buttons flicker. On an ILS the AP dumped into rol mode at GS capture. Even while trimmed after takeoff the AP dove nose down when turning on AP.

Thx for the link Ryan !

Well, it works and it flies but the panel is glass.  I guess I was expecting some round gauges.  duh.

In description is states: The RV-7 data is base on CAP 10 and the cockpit is base on Cessna 172 Skyhawk! So my understanding two defaults: panel and FM wrapped around 3D model

Sounds good to me!  The NXi is very functional!  Almost all those little experimentals are glass nowadays.

True...but it's a WIP.  and it's not behind stupid DRM so we could adjust things.

Let's hope some folks get interested in making something more out of it.  I thought the FSX BayTower RV-7 was a great little plane.

Sorry hehe...my reply must have sounded like it had a tone lol.  It was more excitement.... Like "wow a from scratch addon we could tweak if we had numbers from a guy who actually flies an rv7" (we do actually on this forum).

Hey guys I just found out that a payware RV14/14A is in works and not very far out.  Simworks Studios - check it out.  The planned avionics sounds like a great fit for MSFS.  Maybe the WT G3X Touch and a working GTN750 will actually be in the panel of the completed model.  This could be a winner.

I'm excited for that one as well but the G3X, even with WT mod, isn't great.  Once they work on that (they said they would in 2022), it should be a lot better.  The GTN navigates about the same as the G3X.  I presume it's the PMS GTN.
