Good morning all...
Installed the Aerosoft PBY Catalina X into my Windows 10 and FSX Deluxe with Acceleration...
Having flown the actual aircraft in the 60s for a handful of summers, in the winter we flew the Douglas DC3s equipped on wheel/skis, the Consolidated Canso was an aircraft I looked forward to aviating but a chore to load and unload for the crew, especially if there were no Docks and the chore was done in open water.
Not sure when the Military replaced their Canso's but they carried a Flight Engineer, Navigator and Radio Operator.
Those Aircraft Stations were eliminated off the Canso's we operated, we had two Pilots and at least one or two crewmen to help dock, load and unload the aircraft. Many times we only had the two pilots and relied on the Destination to help with the loading and unloading.
VORs were something New and few and far between, almost non existent in many areas, the GPS was only a Dream, everything was done by ADF or Visual Map Reading.
Now to my point...
The Bendix King KLN 90B which Aerosoft has installed in their Simulated Aircraft is giving me a few headaches...
This unit takes several minutes to activate, which is normal...but you have to wait.
I can not get the two concentric knobs one on either side of the display to work, I will Sometimes get a "+" or a "-" , the two Cursor Buttons will sometimes work.
Now this unit is only installed in the Civil Versions of the Aerosoft simulated aircraft, the Military Versions have a Nav/Radio Section.

Anyone else having a problem with this unit.
Yes I did install the Update which was included on the Disk and Auto Mixture is unchecked which is recommended.
Graphics and Sound are Nice also.
