Re: Direction to VOR indicator - G3

Thanks. Could it be logged as a feature request for later iterations? The radial readout it useful to choose the radial you want to track but you still need the needle for lateral guidance on the selected radial. Besides if you adjust the CRS to centre the needle you can see which direction the stat...

Direction to VOR indicator - G3

Hi

Is it possible to turn off the green line with the "A" on the end which indicates the direction to a VOR station? It makes it quite hard to track a radial as it tends to cover the needle at minor deflections.

Re: Weight and Balance G3

That's what the thing does. You define a station as fuel. It then calculates the position of your cross based on fuel load. Similar for baggage etc. It needs physical fuel tanks for that. Virtual tanks are not counted. Yes but would it be useful or possible to ignore the fuel load and do a W/B posi...

Re: Weight and Balance G3

Ah ok this seems to depend on whether your fuel tank selection is a virtual tank (you just get a display of the current CofG) or a "sensed" fuel tank, where you get the other crosses. My Pitts actually has only a virtual tank - fuel remaining is calculated by fuel flow in the EFIS and I just have t...

Re: Weight and Balance G3

SO this would actually be a great feature for @rainier to add - have a defined zero fuel weight for the entered load oad to generate the full fuel to empty fuel C/G range...
Would this be possible do you think?

Re: Weight and Balance G3

Thanks @dutchroll I get all of that - what I can't understand is that in my simulator, When I bring up the weight and balance I only see one cross on the graph - the green 'full ms/fullCG' one, whereas on your video you definitely had a white, red and green cross - i.e I need to see the C/G range fo...

Re: Weight and Balance G3

Thanks - I have watched that - when Dutchroll is doing the W/B for the RV-7 he has en empty and a full weight and the current weight on the weight and balance popup. When he does it for the Pitts - all the numbers are the same again. I thought there would be a menu setting to set max t/o and empty w...

Weight and Balance G3

Hi
does anyone know how to set a weight and balance range taking into account fuel burn?

In the W/B it will give you Mass (in white), Empty mass and full mass - all are the same.
