I know that this was an old post, but I have successfully integrated the Flight1 EFD1000 into the A36 cockpit with the RealityXP GNS. Kaydub

I think it has been repaired, now. Kaydub

Elite King Air Throttle Quadrant... Kdub

It was for me because the trim wheel was no longer on a USB. The USB conflicted with my sounds. It also left the trim setting wherever the autopilot had it at the moment that I disengage the autopilot so that there were no big pitch changes at crucial moments. Kdub

I've heard this about the AS 350, which is the reason that I have not bought it. The Bell is not as bad, so I hear, and I have the 407. I can say that it is controllable, but still lacks inertia in the roll axis. I like the 407, but I've given up on X-Plane because of these roll issues. I prefer to do precision hovering and if you look at the YouTube videos of the Dreamfoil 407, you can see that it is constantly rolling in even the best conditions. I'm back to FSX and the Dodo. Kdub

That is what I found. My 780 restored the frame rate... Kdub

Hi all: I am wondering if the FMS popup for the UNS-1 works with FSUIPC mouse macros? The reason that I ask is that in anticipating the King Air release, I would like to know whether I will be able to use my cockpit hardware... Thanks, Kdub

It depends. My 780 made a big difference in clouds and down low near autogen. Really smoothed out the stutters down low. Kdub

The Flight1 does not require beta or any other manipulation to slow down on the approach. Flaps full and if you want to slow down in a hurry, full forward props does a good job. I normally land per the book, props at cruise setting to keep the noise down and full prop after touchdown...no problem to cross the threshold at 95 kts, even at almost gross. Kdub

Just flew it "home" to KBFI. 31L on the G1000 was flawless, ATC asked for 180 knots up to LACKR because of a fast mover behind me. Intercepted the GS, pushed full props, approach flaps @ 170 knots followed by gear and then full flaps at 500 feet, crossed threshold at 96 knots and touched down just past the numbers and made second turnoff to clear runway for the heavy on final. It is a beautiful bird if you like G1000 King Airs. It is not a Proline model, and I am running an i7 at 4.8 with a GTX 780. Really, folks, if you want a King Air now, you should get this one. Rudder boost, prop governor, starter only to clear fuel from an engine that didn't light, generator switches with reset, engine anti-ice, autofeather...the list goes on! If these features mean nothing to you, well, try it! You may like it.

I had a very satisfying flight tonight. KFHR to KGEG. 295 knots TAS nice transition to RWY 21 and NO problems with any aspect of the flight. A very nice plane, IMHO. I'm an F1 B200 fan for sure. Kdub

Yeah, but I was not as happy with my GTX580 purchase as I am with my GTX780. The 580 with SGSS was fine in the clear without a glass cockpit, but because I bought it to smooth out the Mustang, and it didn't eliminate the frame and stutter issues, I was not as satisfied as I am now. However, as you said, to each their own. The 780 is awfully expensive... Kdub

I like the way that you nuance your response. The AA setting can be run with an 8800GT , but it won't be as smooth in the clouds or with the glass cockpits. I'm not speculating here, I have seen the difference on my F1 Mustang. I had an 8800 GTX on my PC and flying turns over Seattle always produced stutters and fluctuating frame rates. I was turning down the scenery level and was unable to run the 1/2 monitor refresh vsync setting in NVidia Inspector. The 780 made this possible. It stays locked at 30 frames and is smoother even during approaches in cloudy conditions. Is it worth $650? Only the buyer can say. The opinions vary. I am glad that I now have a 780, but I don't know whether the OP will find it to be worth the cost. Some claim that a 4770k is only 10% faster cycle per cycle than a 2600. Is that worth the cost? If he can't get his Haswell to 4.4 like his 2600 will he still see the difference? As I said, maybe. Possibly. Kdub

Maybe. But...if you get the Haswell clocked to 4.8 like NickN has demonstrated, the 580 will not be able to complement the kind of performance that the Haswell is capable of. With the 2600 at 4.4 the 580 is not hindering the CPU much, if at all. If you go with the Haswell, you won't know what the CPU can really do unless you have the 780 with it. Kdub

Same here. It is a little smoother all around, but really noticeable in clouds and with the Flight1 G1000 planes. There it made a big difference because you can run the SGSS settings without the huge performance drop. Kdub
