The EDM gauge for the A2A Comanche PA24-250 has been updated to R1r01.
In addition to some minor bugs fixed, the Manifold Pressure (MAP) and RPM digital numbers were also repositioned for better display.

After a few weeks delay, the EDM 830 (Engine Data Management 830), the last piece of the A2A Comanche PA24-250 FIP gauge set has completed at last.
The gauge is by far the most complicated FIP instrument I ever developed. It has over 3,600 programming lines with many intricated conditions, which I probably wouldn’t remember of what they are in a few months.
Yet, this FIP version is not a full replica to the one on the A2A aircraft.
In addition to differences in horizontal and vertical layouts, some features of the EDM 830 on the A2A aircraft are simply unable to implement onto FIPs due to hardware and software limitations. In some cases, I gotta use unconventional approaches to achieve what it presents.
Nevertheless, Continue reading
Here’s a short video preview of the EDM-830 Engine Monitoring System being developed for the A2A PA24-250 Comanche as mentioned before.
The overall structure is done. It may still need another week or two to complete the work, however, as the implementation of the panel is not only complicated technically but also in layout and design.
I managed to have a break during the summer months. Althought trivial things to take care of were still unavoidable, it was good.
During the period, I received a suggestion from Roland, who told me that the PA24-250 Comanche by A2A was hot and asked if I would develop gauges for it.
Frankly, I am really not a fan to any airplane needing SPAD.neXt to run gauges on the Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs). I am not saying that SPAD.neXt is no good. I just want something install-and-go.
Anyway, here’s the Comanche gauge set just completed, in which many new features and operations are just possible with SPAD.neXt. For example, assigning multiple functions to a single button to imitate a more realistic operation, etc.
Except the EDM-830 Engine Monitoring System that is a definite to follow in a couple of weeks, Continue reading
