Weight and Balance Functional Icon

The Weight and Balance Icon has the options (Checkboxes) to "Show by Icon Holder Click" or "Show If Route Active".
Checking either box causes the Icon to be unselectable as if it were hidden but it still remains visible. It never becomes hidden.

Re: Fuel pressure sensor

Have you configured all the settings properly?

Menu>System Setup>Fuel Related Setup>Setup RDAC1 Senders>Fuel Pressure Setup

Also, confirm your sender is 0.0-5.0v and not the more common 0.5-4.5v; it makes a difference.

G-Force Meter Reset

When the G-Forces are reset, the MAX is reset to 1.0 as expected, but the MIN is reset to 0.0. This causes the MIN to only register Negative G's and never register any positive values below +1.0. Negative G's in an Autogyro is a non-recoverable Fatal event. Getting light in the seat and especially l...

Re: Global Screen File Names

Thanks, Rainier,

Global Screen File Names

The Alteration Guide describes creating custom screen files without page numbers that all screens load by default. The Fuel and Engine screens are common to most pages. I currently have to create Engine1.sdf, Engine2.sdf, Engine3.sdf, etc as all identical copies. I have tried creating screen files t...

Re: Send a GPS-NMEA 0183 via RS232

In theory, by using ...
Menu>System Setup>Serial Port Routing
You can define a serial port as a "GPS NEMA Port"
I have tried to use this to send location data to my ELT but have not been successful.
I would also like to know if anyone has made this work.

Re: 3D terrain does not show red

Check your setting under Menu > System Setup > Terrain Warning.
This only works if the GPS is ON and actively Tracking Satellites.
So, it may not work inside a hanger.

Re: Design/simulator 1.1.2.2

251 is the Max possible airspeed.
This tells me that the "Dynamic Pressure" Slider (the middle one) on the "Pressure Sensor Simulation" Window is Maxed out.
Set it to the Bottom for Zero.
Set it to about 10% for typical GA Airspeeds.

Re: Design/simulator 1.1.2.2

Are you getting no response from the sliders; or do you see "X"s over the gauges?
Sorry if I am stating the obvious, but have you clicked the RDAC ON/OFF button at the upper Left?
