What plane is this with glass FMS?

This is the Albotros-CI. I stole the EADI/EHSI out of the BAe-125, and the Magnetic Compass came out of the Ryan Navion.


You know I don't recall if the CI has it in ..Models/Panel/Instruments/ but there should be a lower wing mount magnetic compass in the compass folder.

Actually I like your fix, it's good for night flights :lol: . Better than holding a penlight in your mouth or mounting a few Christmas lights run off the Sidcot flight-suit heater generator, in the cockpit, like some crews did for night bombing.


There is a description for a wing compass but I don't see it if it is mounted. Also, there is what I think is a compass that shows half-exposed in the lower left part of the cockpit, half hidden behind the dash coaming - that might be the wing compass misplaced?

My only problem is that while the attitude indicator works on the EADI it does not show roll. I think there's an analog turn bubble on the bottom trim of the indicator, but it's covered up in the Albatros. But the roll doesn't indicate on the BAe either - have never figured out if that's a defect or intentional to this model. It's a last bug for me to solve... may do that now, or may just ATCsimulate for awhile, or may fly from KBMI or KLAS to KPVD in a business jet now. ETA: Did that now. Discovered that the transform type for roll was " texrotate " and FG demands it be "texrotate." So not only fixed my chopper-Albatros, but also fixed my BAe as well. Which lets me do the warm up flight into Providence. :)

I like the Christmas-light idea, that would be a cool way to light up the cockpit. ;) I did do one patten last night at KXTA (which is VERY dark on the outside pattern,) and the ADI/HSI pair was very helpful. :D
Primarily props / twins and small business/personal jets. IRL home airport KBMI, FG homes KLAS / KXTA.
Favorites: Cessna 421 "Golden Eagle," Twin Otter, BAe-125. A plane isn't my plane until I've modded the cockpit to the way I like it.

The forecast suggests that tomorrow winds in Providence are going to be from Northwest.
since the Fokker Dr. I is so difficult to taxi, I found myself a parking spot on the runway 34 skirts :D

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

I'm not able to release the Nieuport 16 early enough for this flight, the FDM has decided to go bonkers. I will fly in from Old Rhinebeck, NY94 if someone wants to add 128 nm to this day's flight time. I'm flying the Nieuport 12a2.
