Hey guys, as usual, here is a list of avionics equipment we've modelled for the plane, with some features highlights. These are actual screenshots from Virtual Cockpit (FSX DX10).
Narco Radio Stack
- CP 136 audio selector panel
- NCS812 COM/NAV/DME unit, with DME HOLD function and TO/FROM display
- MK 12E COM/NAV unit with TO/FROM display
- AT 150 transponder
S-TEC System 30 autopilot
- Rate based two axis autopilot
- Stabilizer Mode (maintains turn rate)
- Heading Hold Mode
- Low Track Mode
- High Track Mode
- Alt Hold
This autopilot is reliable and simple to operate. But it is also very different from the autopilots usually found in FSX airplanes. It can track the VOR/LOC/GPS, but it will not intercept it automatically. It can hold the altitude, but it will not trim the aircraft. You'd better read the manual or prepare for the unforeseen consequences.
Narco 841 ADF
- Active/Standby frequency
- Flight Timer
- Elapsed Timer
Manuals

3rd party GPS integration
If you own one of the Reality XP 430/530, Mindstar 430/530 or Flight1 GTN 650/750 gauges, you can install them in the VC using the aircraft configurator. Here is an example screenshot with Flight1 GTN 750 touchscreen. Other options can be seen in Scott's video HERE.

Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
Beautiful work Michael, as always. I'd just like to add a link too if I may. It's for the HSI manual, though it should all be pretty self-explanatory I guess.
Century NSD-360A HSI:

I assume it's the unslaved version of the HSI we'll be getting (without the slaving meter visible at the top right of the gauge), so manual correction of the compass card will perhaps be necessary to correct for gyro precession...
Cheers,
Nick

Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
Your assumption is correct. Air-driven however also electrically connected and thus a somewhat strange combination and - yes - the compass card can be manually adjusted for gyro drift... What else would you expect from A2A ?Nick M wrote:Beautiful work Michael, as always. I'd just like to add a link too if I may.

Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
They look so beautiful
damn, now i gotta buy a GTN750
GREAT WORK

Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
Thanks Scott, I love threads like this.
I've got an F1 GTN750 but I really like the look of the stack in the first picture.
Going to try and learn to do without GPS.
I love these, "Look at your new toys" threads
Just looked back at the video, you had similar white stickers stuck on the radios in 29P
I love it.
edit: Apologies Michael, I see that you started this thread rather than Scott.
Thanks Michael, thanks Scott, thanks everyone else at A2A.
Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
In connection with the GTN750,
Is it possible to allot this this GPS only to some repaints of a type of plane or obligatorily to all the repaints of the plane concerned each time? There is not an easy way for that?
Thank you

Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
The way A2A usually do it is to have it changeable with a few mouse clicks whilst sitting in the plane.pegase wrote:In connection with the GTN750,

Add-on GPS is selected in a program external to FSX/P3D.
But once it is selected, you can switch between GPS and no-GPS very easily with no more difficulty than it would take to re-fuel the plane.
Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
Ok!
Thank you well.
Thank you well.
Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
Absolutely beautiful radios Michael
Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
Yeah - it's like having an integrated remote gyro.lonewulf47 wrote:Air-driven however also electrically connected and thus a somewhat strange combination

Re: Piper Comanche 250 Avionics INFO and MANUALS
Just a quick question regarding the NAV/GPS switch... Why does the GPS label get replaced with INOP for some configurations? I've noticed it it OK for the default GNS 400, but INOP for the 3rd party GPS units.

3rd party GPS units don't use this switch, they have built-in button for that.

Sounds good Oskar, and a nice contrast to the fancy slaved unit we're spoiled with in the C182T.lonewulf47 wrote:Your assumption is correct.

Thanks, I completely forgot about that... It's a bit different that the NAV source button/annunciator in the Cessnas.some1 - A2A wrote:3rd party GPS units don't use this switch, they have built-in button for that.
