Quickmarch 488 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I've been trying out some different aircraft in the past few days - always a challenge. I found one that is perplexing me no end. I've been flying the PBY (Aerosoft, PBY Catalina X) for some time now, but always the older models. I decided to try the modern version and got quite tied up in the King GPS/Nav unit, the KLN 90B, that is modeled in these aircraft. Basically, I cannot get the thing to pay attention to me. The rotating knobs are supposed to change the pages and the selections within the pages, however, the best I can get out of the gadget is a flicker from the RHS and nothing from the left. Yes, I did turn it on! I have waded through at least 75% of the manual, always a fretful experience for us "real men". By this time I've read about most scenarios available on the thing. I just haven't seen them in action. I'm going back to the Sperry - at least it's got fewer knobs. Anyone care to share any positive experiences, and maybe a trick or two with this tool. I'm really tongue-in-cheek over questions like this. I've had several weird things happen in various flight simulator aircraft that are either; not experienced by others, or viewed with incredulity, or both. I'm convinced my Win7 Pro system is doing dirties with some of the code written for these simulations. I'd go to the Aerosoft Support Forum, but I've never been able to log into that. It keeps claiming my user name (believable) and email address (not believable) are in use by another member. Cheers from windy Brisbane, March Update (second thoughts): Can anyone tell me where the PBY repaint came from that is featured in the MH banner? Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 It's been a while since I took the Cat up for a spin, but I never had any issues with the GPS as far as I can remember... Regarding the paint in the logo my guess is this one but I don't know for sure... Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'll fire her up later and have a look Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 That's the correct repaint Micke, also used it in the ATWC IV video. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thank you Mikael for the lead to the repaint - that's an awesome job. Also thanks to Jigsaw for the file - 1,578 downloads! Kieran, I spent some more time on it last night with the plane running on the ramp. Found the clickspots! That's likely all that was wrong. My problem is that the first time I tried it was while in the air and I wasn't doing a very good job hitting the moving target. I've never used the King unit in the RW, only the original II Morrow, and the Garmin 196. Fortunately the 196 is close to the default Garmin used in a lot of the FSX aircraft, so that one is a no-brainer. I'm probably the only guy flying sim aircraft holding a Jeppesen CR-2 in his left hand and a joystick in his right. I'd like to get into the King as it has a bunch of really nice features - might (and that's a big 'might") even replace the CR-2. Cheers March Link to post Share on other sites
