February 14, 20242 yr Has any of the Dc-6 drivers around here tried to replace the impractical 430 with a 530 ?

I know Bob has cracked it but the gyropilot/430 combo seems to have a mind of it’s own. I’ve tried everything; sometimes it works….most times it doesn’t. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Tonight I’m going to load up a flight and sacrifice a chicken before I switch the gyropilot on.

I have around 100 flights now with zero problems.

I have the light version integrated in the Comanche, didn't remember that it was in the toolbar too and using it ! 1 hour ago, DD_Arthur said: Would it help?

Tonight I’m going to load up a flight and sacrifice a chicken before I switch the gyropilot on. Yes it is a pain.. After having read posts here and there, it seems that its better not to use the gyropilot (left position) after the localizer (center position) as the localizer becomes useless when you want it back. I have flown it for quite some times though, I will check whether its better now 16 minutes ago, Bobsk8 said: I put some very detailed workarounds on the PMDG forum.

February 14, 20242 yr Yeah, I use either the "pop up" version of the payware PMS750 and/or use the JayDee Mod that incorporates the 650 version in place of the 430. If I had a set up that made it easier to use 430/530 (like a physical trainer etc) then I'd just keep the 430 in there.

February 15, 20242 yr I'm using the 430 without any problem, no need to adapt unrealistic solutions like the pms thing. The real problems of the DC-6 are others, and are debated since the DC-6 entry in FS20. Missing the PMDG DC6 in MSFS 2024 (she's here, but...).

The 430 is an "original" and real device and I find it easy to use. (But the crazy gyropilot is still there, thanks PMDG). Missing the PMDG DC6 in MSFS 2024 (she's here, but...).

Generally we are talking about a thing called "realism", not just your or mine opinion in a flight simulator. But I see that our opinions are too much different because I like flying the DC-6, you a Concorde. It's very discording.

I don't find so many differences using a 430 or a 530 anyway. Edited February 15, 20242 yr by Claudius_ Missing the PMDG DC6 in MSFS 2024 (she's here, but...).

I used to work in an avionics shop. Very easy to take out a 430 and install a GTN 750, just costs some money.
