Cessna U206G Soloy Mark I Turbine Conversion project

Sean, good questions.

1. if it is possible to me to implement a special config tool, yes it should be possible to get e.g. the GNS430 instead of GTN650. For users, who owns only GTN650, perhaps there is a solution with GNS530. But GNS530 and GTN750 have different sizes, so this could be difficult. We will see.

2. no idea to realize this. As I heard, there is no support for developers to implement the 3D-knops anymore. I don´t have the RXP, so I have no skills.

But I have a question to you - do you know, how new KLN90B is on schedule? It is more realistic to use this avionics in aircrafts like the Soloy.

Thomas
 
KLN90B with KX155 Radios. This is nearly the panel of the real aircraft I try to cover. KLN90B is a great choice, working well on my sytem. But is still in beta status. But it is working fine for me. Knops of KLN90V are not animated. The gauge is working great "around the 3D-knops". You can switch it from VC.

Sorry for the worse pic.

Good News. Next steps are made. Get the emissive maps for 2D gauges like GTN, GNS or KLN90B etc to run. Bill Leaming of Eaglesoft again brought me the "lights" on it. Day and night in all conditions around. Simply great.

Thomas
 
More great news on the project. I have a feeling it's going to be quite popular for a pretty wide ranger of users.
 
Step by step, work is going on. Some more pictures - showing the Soloy in P3DV3 (in older clothes).

All systems/gauges are running in P3DV3 with no issues.

Hi Thomas,
Looking very nice - but there seems to be an issue with the attitude indicators.....???
 
Hey Rick, good view - horizons have the issue. Backup and main horizont are both caged. You can see it on the flag on backup. Real only backup has the caging function. Arghh - I see the issue on attitude indicator, will be fixed.

Same problem with the turn and bank.

Don
 
I separated attitude indicators like the real ones with success - and another smaller issue with altimeter 10.000 display. A last smaller issue with turn indicator is left. But I am sure, to solve it too. Next steps are finishing exterior models with new textures and door animations, following creating cockpit sounds (which is not a big deal). We will see.

Thomas
 
Update. All work is according on plan. Basic model is nearly finished. Animations of doors and windows are done. The same with repaint-kit and texturing work with Env_AC_chrome and bump textures etc. All gauges issues are fixed. I am just working on Cockpit-sounds. Last two steps (skydivers rollup door and the merge of all models with the Basic model) are open on my very large todo-list.
