So it is with much trepidation that I have to admit, How do I tune the Comm/Nav 1 radio. I see the control heads for CN2, DME, ADF, Audio panel, but I had to shoot an approach on CN2 using the Nav2 gauge(#8 in the users manual). I feel stupid. Thank you for pointing out my oversight. I'm looking forward to putting this issue at ease. I appreciate any and all comments.. yes, even that I'm a ding dong. Thank you.
SIMTECH wrote:Gary, thank you for the reply. I agree the Nav 1 has "3" 1's while the Nav 2 has 2 in the a/c config. My question is even more basic. Where or by what means do I use to change the frequency? I don't see a control head, and upon reading the manual, there is no mention of a control head for Com/ Nav 1. If it's changed by using the CN2 head, then I'm missing the switch. There should be one as the DME has a select switch to monitor either the Nav 1 or Nav 2. I'm totally embarrassed that it must be simple, but I don't get it.
Thank you for your reply. I apologize for my denseness.
Okay..Update. I can only find one mention of a Comm/Nav control gauge in the panel config. I temporarily placed a second one on the Cockpit screen upper left just for grins. I activated it, designated it Nav 1 and changed the frequency. I monitored the frequency of both Navs from the DME panel and they track. It appears, there should be a second control head posted in the panel config in the vc window. I'm still experimenting. But at least the "floating" control head works and my Nav 1 can be tuned. Having a little trouble putting it in the vc window, though.
SIMTECH wrote:Wow, Fozzer.. that's a couple of gorgeous panels. As I said, unfortunately, the 2D panel is only a strip of seven gauges ala mini-panel. The 3D cockpit is fairly complete, excepting the elevator trim and CN 1 control. On your 150, you have two control heads for each Comm/Nav. This one has only one and it controls CN 2. I thought it might be a dual system control, but for the life of me, can't see a selector switch and there's no mention in the well illustrated user's manual. Will FS Panels work with only seven gauges from scratch, or do I need at least a blank template to start with? That would be neat if I could totally built a panel from scratch.
SIMTECH wrote::clap: I went to the Fs Studio site and the product seems like it might work. I could take a panel from another aircraft and mode it to fit the Arrow. I appreciate the lead to this software. I can see many uses for it. I can at least download the demo. Thanks to all for the tip.
