The mod will work with the default Alabeo G600 or the Flight1 G600.  Panel files are included for both.  The modifications are so extensive that the original release should be considered a beta and users are encouraged to give feedback to help improve future updates.  

Highlights are as follows.

1. Completely rebuilt STEC 55X Autopilot.  I have brought it as close to the manufacturer's operating manual as P3D will let me get.  (STEC 55X Manual included).

2. Added an optional King KFC-225 Autopilot.  It is a great deal more sophisticated than the STEC with GA mode and a yaw damper.  I have also completely redone this autopilot to bring it as close to the King KFC-225 operating manual as P3D will let me get. (King manual included.)

3. Reworked the fuel system to function correctly.  Crossfeed works properly instead of shutting both engines down.  Fuel tanks can be changed without the engine immediately shutting down (provided you turned the fuel pump on per the POH).

4. Reworked the fuel indicating system to function correctly.  Fuel level indicators follow the fuel selector.  If you run an aux tank dry the engine will quit.  

5. Corrected the annunciator panel to show main and baggage door ajar warnings.

6.   Reworked sound file to operate properly as constant speed props.  Also includes a new optional sound file that I think is scary accurate. 

7.  New night panel textures to coincide with a realistic lighting level.

8.  Minor FDE changes to enhance immersion. 

9.  Landing gear fix.  There have been instances where the nose and right main landing gear did not extend far enough to lock resulting in collapse on landing even with "3 green" showing.  That is corrected.

10  Optional throttle and prop matching algorithm.  Most don't use it but it's included for those why may have noisy hardware controllers. 

There may be some other things that I have forgotten as I have been working on this for a while.  For those who are already on my mailing list there is no need to PM me.  You will receive the mod by email.  For those who are not on my list (you haven't sent me your email address and you haven't received any of my other mods), if you would like to try this one out send me a PM with your email address.  It should be ready in the next couple of days.

G600 doesn't work with Alabeo Chieftain; i have GTN750 and I always have message 'No GPS Position" on G600 MFD.

I tried many times to follow instructions from Flight1 manual (click on continue on GTN750) but nothing change!

Do you have any advice about this problem?

Thank you!

ive had this aircraft for a while, and with the mod available for it it’s great. I do however find myself wishing I could fly it with a more traditional analogue gauge cockpit as I don’t know many real chieftains having glass beyond maybe a Garmin 430 or so. 

Is it possible to merge the Carenado Navajo VC with the chieftain? I don’t know what panel differences are between the two but surely it wouldn’t be anything dramatic? I don’t currently own the Navajo so I’d like to know if it’s possible before getting it. 

Not sure this topic was already covered elsewhere, but when flying the Alabeo Piper Chieftain in X-Plane 11, every time I am ready to touch-down on a runway, the aircraft veers left and crashes off the runway. I have tried this at different airports and the same thing happens. Final approach is right on and speed and config just fine during the entire approach. But, when I begin to flare, the aircraft just wants to go off to the left and cartwheel into the grass. I have no problem with this flying the Carenado Navajo or any other Alabeo airplanes. Since the Chieftain is designed for both XPlane 10 and XPlane 11, I am wondering if there is something in the coding causing this. 

Anyone else have a similar issue and discovered the cure?

Thanks!

I have the Chieftain with the Flight1 G500/GTN 750 package.

I am trying to figure out the best way to change altitude when in AP Mode - ALT Hold.

At a 4000ft, I set eh ALT selector on the G500 to 3000ft, but the plane does not change altitude to 3000ft. At one point (I think I remember), I set the VS speed and the plane descended to the desired level and the VS mode deactivated to maintain the set altitude. this does not seem to work now as the VS mode stays on beyond the desired level until I manually shut it off.

Also, while in NAV mode along with ALT mode, a "GS" also appeared next to the "ALT" symbol in the autopilot panel, but I don't know what that meant.

Any help would be appreciated.

If I fly by hand. There is no way I can hold the plane's altitude. It is up or down. No time even put proper trim to avoid this kind flying.

Some thing is wrong, if you memebers having no problem by hand flying, then problem must be from my side. 

What causing this problem ? How can I correct the proper inputs to plane's  controls.

Dear Sir or Madam,

P3D crashes regularly through the Alabeo aircraft PA31 Chieftain. The log shows an invalid script (a) on the one hand, and the crash occurs whenever [error.999] is reached (b).

When Alabeo brought their PA31-350 out I was excited, but there is something holding me back 

from purchasing it. I know that the fuel system is not like the real aircraft from what I've read and I have 

also read that the cockpit shakes a lot on shut down. 

What I want to know is, Is this aircraft worth buying? And seeing as it is a widely used aircraft in Australia, are there 

any repaints of it from Australia? 

My question it's if the alabeo Chieftain have the same level of the Carenado Navajo speaking in the flight dynamics... It's the same panel with the difference that have a avionics more update (I prefer the analogue (....... So the pilots of Navajo that have leave their opinion here can compare this two beautiful navajos......
