Nope -- sadly, I never figured out how to do it.

I frankly just can't remember now what all my issues were. I know for sure that one of the was AP-related -- the AP would not reliably decouple in the Baron. I had a near-crash situation because when I decoupled the AP on about a 3-mile final it wouldn't let go. Even toggling the AP switch on and of...

Yes, I've had it for a couple of years. It's a very good emulation of the real G1000 -- probably the highest-fidelity emulation available for a flight sim. For a long time, only a few planes were supported (and that's still true as far as I know). The website will have the list. Fairly recently they...

Actually, let me ask an even more basic question -- is there a user manual for the GNS 530 that describes what functions are actually simulator and which are not, that describes where to find all the various screens (I still can't find screen that offers me a choice to save or load a flight plan, fo...

Hmm, I thinks, sitting there...

Very cool Keith -- thanks for posting the link to your twitch.tv. I've been able to watch Kevin as well, but not with as much traffic. I pretty much died over your off-frequency comment about the guy who called for advisories and didn't know where he was when you asked. "Really? You don't have ...

Chas,

Hmm. I don't think I saw your message about Warpalizer. I'll go read about it.

Thanks!
