Tried to take it for a flight but gave up. Elevator trim using the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke keys and the Honeycomb Bravo trim wheel did not work. Moved a very short distance and was reversed. Looks like it will be a nice aircraft after a bit of work.

Why are you using a yoke? The plane doesn't have one. Electronic trim works fine with my joystick (and Saitek multipanel as well.)

Can you discuss the functionality a little more?  Can you display bearing needles from VOR1/2 or GPS/ADF?  Does it show lpv glide path using the GTN?

I don't think it shows additional bearings, the extra functionality is mainly information it shows including distance & bearing, XTE and a track marker

It definitely does however show LPV glide path (as I mentioned earlier it also seems to show that on the analogue NAV2 even when GPS2 doesn't have approach loaded)

Autopilot Sucks, or at least this implementation.  Certain Functions appear INOP and it’s trustworthy-ness is dodgy at best. 
Needs work,

What are you finding INOP with the AP ?

I've tried everything except REV/BC and they seem to be working fine AS LONG as a I remember to turn on the AP master switch (doh)

-- Correction - I spot a problem, if you change the selected altitude the AP instantly starts to climb ot descend to that altitude even if the AP is set to ALT mode. Only solution to preset an altitude seems to set VS to 0 till you want start the change.

AP works fine, it sometimes ignores the flightplan, but I have not yet found out what makes it function ornot function. It would be great if the SANDEL would show at least the wx. Other than that it's a nice aircraft. It's different from the 2 or 3 TV screens you look at in most other planes.

Yes. That seems to a bug. When I looked yesterday there seems to be no way to report it as I could see no mention of the plane, apart from an announcement of its release, on the OrbX forums? Do they have a ticket system? I can't find one.

How about this?

You do need to be signed into an Orbx account though.

There is an extensive update available, including a better manual, PMS50 GTN integration and many other features/fixes.

Anyone able to post the changelog of the update?

Encouraging!

How did you learn of this?

I have had a look at the Orbx site & there is no mention of it, yet.

I opened my ORBX account and it showed that there was an update available, that was it.
