Nice one chaps. :thumbsup:

Thanks very much

I did a circuit and I found she was easy to fly :smile:

The only slight niggle I have is trying to mouse move the throttle and even more so the prop control without moving the panel.

The throttles seem to be OK if grabbed above but I never really got to grips with the props.

Still didn't spoil the fun at all :smile: :smile:

Very nice aircraft to fly - can't wait for a BSAA livery.

Couple of questions/clarifications - do you use the BABS gauge for navigating with the VOR Nav Radio? (i.e. try and get the bottom horizontal indicator centred to be heading towards (or away) from the tuned station. Also presumably, there is no glideslope indication just OM and MM lights where applicable?)

Are the other cross needles on the 'glareshield' are only for the NDB radio?

Ref the autopilot, assume there is no horizontal and-or heading hold?

(for your info, I had to change '1' to '0' in the arcraft.cfg file to make my Comms and VOR Nav radios work - no sweat, sometimes it needs to be done with add-ons, other times it doesn't.)

*ugger! Forgot all about that. Babs and DF Loop are courtesy of Ted Cook with permission. Aso used in Porky the Yorkies. Below are Ted's destructions for use.

Use the DF Loop meter by steering towards the crossed needles which should then move to the centre when you will be steering TO the beacon [ ADF1 ].
The DF loop aerial also gives a reading from the back as well as the front, but this reciprocal indication will move away from the centre as you turn towards the crossed needles. Try it out in SLEW mode.
-----
The Beam Approach Beacon System indicator [BABS] should be tuned on NAV1 radio to a beacon that has DME facilities.
The distance is displayed on the vertical scale with zero at the bottom.
The direction to steer to get on to the beam is shown on the horizontal scale.
The lamps indicate when the Inner or Outer markers are reached.

Me chinee me no unnestan dese thin, Gally wil tlanslate fo yu
