812: Generic G5 for MSFS Updated

The GENERIC G5 PFD and HSI for MSFS have been updated with not only the RNAV compatibility but also many bug fixes and feature enhancements.

Following is a quick video showing the Generic G5 PFD, HSI and Multi-Shared VOR1 on a C172 flying from 5WA8 to KQHM with RNAV approach activated under auto-pilot mode in doubled or quadrupled speed.

808: VORs are now RNAV Compatible

Thanks to Bryan in the US, the long-missed vertical guidance on my Multi-Shared VOR1 and VOR2 FIP Gauges under RNAV approach has been implemented finally.


The codes of the two FIP gauges were nearly rewritten. In addition, layouts and appearances of the gauges were revised accordingly to the recent MSFS sim update.

Furthermore, as the NAV/GPS toggling of the VOR2 on the C172 Classic is now independent from the VOR1, an extra NAV-only VOR2 is therefore included.

This is done so because Continue reading

802: GPS/VLOC Toggles Crazily

A user of my G5 gauges, Elliott in Canada, recently reported to me that the CDI on the G5 gauge was rapidly toggling between GPS and VLOC after the recent AAU1 (Aircraft & Avionics 1 or 1.30.12.0) update.

After further investigation, the issue is confirmed to be caused by the incompatibility between the Working Title Garmin GNS 430/530 addon and the Just Flight PA28 Arrow series — Arrow III, Turbo Arrow III and Tubro Arrow IV.


Other aircraft, default and 3rd party, so far tested, including the Just Flight PA28-161 Warrior II, are not affected.

Temporarily, users could Continue reading

797: B58 RMI Update For MSFS

The RMI for the G58 in B58-style setup has just been revised.  The major change from the original is the swapping of needle colors.MSFS_G58B_RMI_resize

It is based on feedbacks from users who reported that the ADF needle color is now green and VOR2 is yellow on the aircraft.

To avoid confusion, update is provided accordingly.  However, as features and functions of the new version are identical to the original one.  Users can choose to update the gauge or not. Continue reading

794: MSFS V35B VSI Updated

The Carenado V35B VSI has been updated to R1r01 as shown below on the right.
MSFS_V35B_VSI_GIF02b    MSFS_V35B_VSI_GIF02c
One major change is the moving of the red Landing Gear Warning Light from top left corner on the gauge to the lower proper position atop of the green Landing Gear Lights.  In addition, the vacated space is filled with the NAV/GPS Indicators.

Furthermore, an experimental version is added to this update. Continue reading

793: MSFS V35B Engine Cluster is Out

The wait for the MSFS V35B Engine Cluster is finally over.  Here’s a short video showing how it works:


Fuel pump, De-ice and Pitot Heat can be toggled by Button #1 to #3 on the FIP. The ALT indicator will lit up when alternator is OFF, and STARTER will flash when magneto stays at the starter position. Continue reading

792: NAV/GPS malfunctioning After SU10

After MSFS SU10 update, the NAV/GPS button on the C172 (above VOR1) won’t toggle the status between NAV and GPS on the VORs as well as on the GNS530/430.

To change the status of NAV and GPS on the VORs, one has to press the CDI buttons on the GNS530 and 430 in the virtual cockpit respectively.


The issue seems true to the C172 only. Have tested the NAV/GPS function on other aircraft and they all work fine.

Too bad, many times the C172 is always the one messed up by new updates.

788: My New Aircraft View

For more than a year, I’ve been flying VFR mainly with a full forward view without showing the virtual cockpit panel as described in my Post 638, 639 and 697.

However, lately I found showing the propeller and engine hood during curising actually adds more fun.


And, most importantly, brings forth Continue reading
