830: A Quick Guide to RNAV Approach
Since the story “808: VORs are Now RNAV Compatible” was posted in March, once in a while I received enquiries from friends who asked me for instructions to run RNAV Approach. I used to reply them by emails individually. But I think it does no harm to write up a short post for those who might be interested.
RNAV (Area Navigation) is an aviation method that allows an aircraft to fly along any desired flight path defined by waypoints under GPS operation instead of navaids.
Here’s a quick guide about setting up the RNAV Approach from 5WA8 to KHQM as demonstrated in the Post mentioned above:
1.
Open WORLD MAP and choose to fly the Cessna 172 from 5WA8 (Hogan’s Corner) to KHQM (Bowerman)

815: M20R ASI & ENG Updated
The Airspeed Indicator and Engine Clusters for the Carenado M20R have been updated to R1r02 and R1r04 respectively.
A Speed Brake Indicator is added to the Extended version of the M20R ASI, which can be toggled via the fifth Button on the FIP, while some adjustments were made to the two Engine Clusters according to the recent update of the Plane itself.

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
807: Compass+Annunciator in Sleekier Design
The C172 Wet Compass+Annunciator (CMP+ANPL) FIP Gauge for MSFS has just been updated.
Function-wise, the update is of no difference to its earlier brothers.
Layout-wise, the sound panel, the OMI and NAV/GPS indicators of the new version are still situated at the bottom of the compass, and the annunciator panel will pop up under the compass window when triggered. It also comes with backlit.
However, the sizes of the sound panel, the OMI and NAV/GPS indicators on the new version have shrinked significantly and dimmed a little to give the overall compass+annunciator design a more balance and sleek appearance. In comparison, the earlier design looks a bit bulky.
Furthermore, Continue reading
800: First Batch of MSFS PC12 Gauges
Not long after Carenado released its MSFS version of the PC12, I received a number of enquires asking me if I would do the gauges for it as I did for X-Plane.
Yes, I was quite keen on converting the X-Plane gauges for MSFS in the beginning. Unfortunately, the progress was on hold as the initial release of the PC12 was pretty buggy.
After six months waiting, here comes the first batch of gauges (ASI, ALT, VSI) for the PC12 based on its recent update.
