Right knob? You probably ran into the same issue as me. If you use Legacy mouse control you have to either double click the middle mouse button or double click L and R mouse buttons. But yeah I can add an altitude, swap the PFD to ehsi etc. you can change what info is displayed. You change the hsi to wide angle etc

There's not a ton missing though. What are you missing?

Fancy! And the wind indicator! Heck ya!

The Garmin G5's are just SUPERBLY done here guys. By far the best rendition we've had. The A2A manuals says to go to the real G5 manual to learn them LOL (sidenote: oooh the milky way!)

Oh ok I guess my rant wasn't warranted. That's so odd honestly. Then again if you're flying a plane with just a DG and basic stuff you probably won't be flying IFR very often.

Yeah I dont think they used custom avionics devices the new rendering that allows touch screens to work in VR.

Hmmm on the a2a discord I was thinking TRK is actually HDG - does this thing's TRK mode actually correct for wind? That would be annoying irl because we ATC issue a heading, and we correct for the wind. We don't want pilots correcting for the wind. Cause yeah if I have the G5 (on this plane I mean) I have to 2nd press TRK so it goes external DG then uses the HDG bug from the G5. I guess I should check with a 20 knot crosswind to see if the G5's HDG bug is the same as the TRK. ] Now I'm really curious

Super nice flight model, I love the G5s (have them in the plane I fly). I need to peruse the manual a bit more for the Sorcerer but it's really nicely done. Personally I'd slap a GFC500 (GMC507 unit or GFC500X for the experimental) cause I like the intuitiveness of Garmin. But I understand there's a lot of anti Garmin people out there lol. I enjoyed the ground handling a lot on taxi, takeoff etc. And the fogging of the canopy with the word not allowed weather we've having this morning in MSP. For some reason on my setup I have same issue as Black Square aircraft - starting this thing is always frustrating for me. It's like if I don't have my throttle in the exact perfect position, or the perfect amount of fuel after a short prime it just won't start. I finally got it running after almost killing the battery argh. I've never had such a difficult time irl starting a fuel injected engine. Hold or cold starts - it works irl. Once I flooded it on a hot start but after a short waiting period it fired right up. During super cold temps (like here in MN) it can take 2 or maybe 3 tries but it fires right up as well. Anyway I'm not sure why engine starts in the sim are a struggle for me. I flew this with a light forces custom made profile in the FFB using my trusty Sidewinder 2 (yeah over 20 years old!) and it felt amazing to hand fly. Mostly I've done a few instrument approaches hand flying in the soup and then messing with the AP - was able to fly an ILS and an RNAV down to LPV mins while coupled! Pretty cool! Even with my dislike for the Sorcerer, it's incredible how in-depth A2A have gone on this autopilot! Wow! Simply superb job by Mike and the A2A team! I selected the 5 bladed prop for fun and did a few tests using the Utilities page on my TDS GTNxi -for fuel burn, KTAS, altitude etc. At 65% power (stock engine) with the 5 blade I was doing 241 ktas at 9000 ft. With a nice tailwind I was over 4.5 miles per minute (275 I think) I found the sounds to be excellent as well - there is ANR (noise cancelling) - the plugs are above your head where the canopy frame connects. Click the black switch for that part. I should probably go find some nice weather cause it's MVFR and LIFR near my home areas! (Yes of course I went with the 5 blade LOL)

I did see a nice texture upgrade for free on .To I was defending some of the madness about the cabin but once I looked and saw how awful it really was, AND how low res some of the labels in the cockpit were I was shocked! Wow like FSX era stuff... That's NOT okay at this price point. So sorry I was wrong lol. Anyway looks like someone tried to upscale it - still kinda low res not up to standard but this looks far better than default!

49.99 USD Servers are sluggish download speed is like dial up for me hehe. I've got 1Gbps down line. I'm not exactly sure what rate I'm getting but it's like somewhere between 56k and old DSL days haha edit google says 860 KB/sec hahah So not even close to 56k that was a joke but it's pretty bad

Vibe coded... at least he admits it in the description. I'm not an AI fan. But it can be helpful for coding. I think it's just being heavily overused right now.

A really authentic mod from CCM for the WT GNS units in 2024! I had a 430w in the ole musketeer and this mod brings the GNS units quite close to reality! https://hangaraddons.com/addons/msfs-2024/panels/ccms-garmin-gns530430-crazy-completionist-mod-d38e621d

I think all the new city updates are using the next gen TIN and or vexcel... so it should be much less melty than regular TIN. Thanks for the reviews and pics!

Since it's experimental it's calculated per owner. Maybe they don't want to release it OR they want us to calculate our own ;)

Thanks for the heads up Rich!
