Title: Anyone know who might make Avidyne DFC90 or DFC100 Autopilot control heads?
Post by: RayS on December 29, 2014, 09:29:57 AM
...or even better, someone who might be able to whip one of these up? (Or have one laying around?

(https://www.cockpitbuilders.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aero-news.net%2Fimages%2Fcontent%2Fgenav%2F2009%2FAvidyne-DFC100-0409a.jpg&hash=43621c22ec3743dae46d13c54e54918c328ee36f)

I have the Bendix/King autopilot from Flight Illusion and while they advertise that it works in X-Plane, the reality is a bit different. Some function simply don't work, so I'm hoping I can find either a non-flying Avidyne DFC or a simulated version.

(I could go on and on about how helpful FlightIllusion is with their tech support, but I think that horse is long dead...)

If someone can come up with one I have a Bendix/King Autopilot and Audio Control panel from FI that work perfectly in FSX for trade...  :angel:

Would love to skype with you, Mr. Prather!

Update on the King Autopilot... as I was tooling around the sky last night practicing my VOR navigation I somehow, mysteriously, inexplicably, got the NAV function to work.
You have to turn on NAV, THEN rotate the OBS knob for it to kick in....... (Who knew?)

Everyone is welcome! :-)

What might be a good idea is to move away from Skype and use something that allows us to create permanent channels and can hold up under multiple video feeds.
