Thanks!

Am I the only one with this problem, or am I doing something wrong ?  I love this aircraft, but can only follow GPS track using HDG mode.

Can anyone help ?  I am not a Newby.

Edit:  Finally got AP to track GPS, but ONLY if on track and on proper heading.  Looking at the AP .pdf file, I did see that AP would track GPS NAV " Once the course is caught, the AP will hold it.".So NO to intercepting GPS track when off-track.  To bad, makes it complicated and attention consuming.

On another train of thought, has anyone gotten the F1 G500 suite to mount up and fly right with this bird? I shoehorned the GTN into this bird's available screens, but I would like to know if anyone else has tried the G500 in it.

I'm also getting CTD's with this plane for .dll errors. Anyone else experiencing? Thanks.

Many thanks!

Last week I purchased the PA46T Malibu for p3d4.4.
so far, it is really a great plane...
The only thing that bothered me was the lack of click-sounds in overhead buttons!
For example there are nice sounds in the Carenado Saratoga II, that has a similar panel...
Can someone please tell me if the malibu - click-sounds work at all in p3d4.4 !?

Thanks in advance

PS, is anyone having trouble with the right display on the Garmin 500? It doesn't want to update.

So far, I'm a bit underwhelmed with it (it is pretty old though). Just hoping someone had a mod to fix her up a bit.

Cheers!

<Gauge Name="Control_init" Version="1.0"><!-- RXP gauges -->  <Element>	 <Select>	  <Value>		  (L:ControlInit,bool) 1 != if{			1 (>L:SWGPS530XPVIS,bool)			1 (>L:SWGPS430XPVIS,bool)  			1 (>L:ControlInit,bool)							 }		  </Value>		 </Select>   </Element></Gauge>

call this file Control_Init.xml and put it in a new subfolderto your panel folder, named Controls.Then edit your panel.cfg file, by adding one line[Vcockpit01].....gauge07=Controls!Control_init, 0,0,1,1If you only have one RXP gauge, try deleting the GPSXXXVIS line that does not apply.

While flying to an ILS runway I was monitoring both the MFD/GPS on the main monitor (VC) as well as the bigger MFD/GPS on the secondary monitor. At first, I noticed something strange but then I realized it was a BUG!

What happens in this setup is that the MFD/GPS on the secondary monitor (the undocked version) works and updates well; However, the GPS screen portion of the MFD on the main monitor (the VC, the one on the actual dashboard) is simply NOT updating the GPS screen. As you can see on the GPS portion of the MFDs:

There is no facility to upload images or post image links here so here is the picture URL:
https://1drv.ms/i/s!AF_p5iNITKDLswI

I this screenshot you can see the VC on my main monitor on the left and the docked window (MGF/GPS) on the second monitor (right side of the picture). Therein I have also added two helpers:

• A green arrow indicating the direction of the ILS glide path in case you cannot see it well
• A red arrow pointing to the shown location of the aircraft on the GPS screen

As you can see the un-docked Garmin on the right monitor is showing the a/c in the correct/actual location nearly about to land; yet the GPS screen on the VC (main monitor) is way out of sync showing the a/c at the entry point of the glide slope!

The MFD part however (airspeed/altitude stripes and Horizontal Situation Indicator) were okay on both.

I hope a patch is released for this.

A question out of curiosity: Everywhere I read about the PA46T, the articles indicate the 46T should cruise over 200+ knots. The Carenado model over-speeds between 170 to 180.

Any reason for this??

Thanks,

Mike

I would like to add both the GTN 750 and GTN  650 to my carenado jetprop but I have no idea how to do it.

Would it be possible to remove the gns500 and replace with the gtn750 ?

I know I would have to edit the panel.cfg but this is it.

Any of you  can help ?

Thanks

Is that mod still available, and if so, where is it?

Thank you!

Before start, i'm not going to mess anything up...

Very nice airplane and Navigraph extension is the best, BUT...

Flight plan created --> Took off --> ATC gave me a direct --> pressed direct button on the MFD and typed a FIX --> Oh no! Where is my flight plan???

I tried to Activate Leg by pressing ENT while the desired waypoint was selected.. but nothing. Didn't work.

Any chance, any help??

thank you very much

these instructions from them are not valid .... no PI1300.exe file in download and this appears to be for FSX

HELP!

Steps for installing Carenado PA46T Malibu JetProp HD Series FSX/P3D:

1.- Unzip the downloaded file and put the "PI1300X.exe" file in the desktop.

2.- Double click on that file (it is an auto installer).

3.- When prompted for the Username and Serial, type the information provided by email or in the last screen of the purchase process.

4.- The installation should take less than a minute.

Important: First time you use the aircraft in FSX you may be prompted to “Run” or “Don't Run” by the Microsoft Security Alert System, just ignore it and click “Run” to install the gauges. Then click on “Yes” in the next dialog window. Repeat this sequence every time that windows appear (this will depend on how many gauges has the aircraft)

All the documents are inside a folder called “Carenado” which is in the FSX root folder.

• DTA - inop
• BAR
• ALT
• ALR - inop
• DH
• VS
• MAN - inop
• INC/Tenths knob (Knob AP Select)

I have clicked on those in flight but did not see anything activating or changing anywhere. In fact that LCD even though it is lighted, it NEVER EVER displays ANYTHING.

In the PA46T from Carenado this gauge is only switching between Zulu (24 hrs format) and Local (12 hrs format) time and nothing else that I know of, a crippled gauge.

For more information on its real counterpart visit http://www.manualslib.com/products/Flightcom-Dvr-300i-3554237.html

As for the Engine Trend Monitor (ETM) it is located on the copilot's side to the left of the yoke (like the clock on the pilot's side). It is manufactured by Shadin. The implemented gauge has several pages with useful information, obviously not as much as the real instrument.

The pilot's manual for this (real) gauge can be found at:

http://www.shadin.com/documents/manuals/PilotsGuide.pdf

It is very difficult to get this plane stable, especially during climb. But the Autopilot is worse, it does not seem to work.

1. I clicked on the AP/FD switch until both AP and FD show as ON

2. I put the a/c on a climb to 6,000 feet and when I reach the cruise altitude I clicked on the AVSS ALT button, the LCD of the AVSS shows the ALT label.

Now, it is supposed to hold the altitude it had at the moment the button was pressed (6,000 ft) but it just keeps climbing and responding to the yoke if I choose to move it.

The VS also does not seem to work and is ambiguous in the sense that if it shows 6.8 you don't know if that is 6.8 ft/min or 680 ft/min or what. It also does not seem to respond to that either.
