Niice Jon, that GPS looks a bit like the one in the C172 that I flew in to Karamea (probably a tad more fancy in the 1900 though).

Its similar to the one in FS9 / X as well. The top one plots the way points and distance, the bottom display shows the track. Quite nifty really.

regonised that throttle column from the FSX King Air
200kts isn't exactly booting it either, I assumed it'd be faster than that

Yeah, the B1900s are quite fast turboprops if I remember.

The 1900D cruises at about 260 knots true airspeed

Do ANZ always fly with the cockpit/cabin seperator door open?

by **Alex** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:43 pm

I've only flown on a Beech once with the cockpit door closed, the rest of the times the door has been open.

I've never known them to have the door closed, I think part of it is safety as well given there are no cabin crew, the pilots need to keep a ear open to us lot in't back. B)

That is 220K indicated, the TAS may be a fair bit larger, depending on altitude, and then groundspeed will be different also.....

Looks pretty similar to a King Air cockpit.

I think thats how PMDG got around the panel in there 1900D. I got that after my first flight in one, shame the panel isn't more functional.

by **ZK-Brock** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 10:52 am

The GPS would display the Groundspeed - very useful.

Not like the PMDG one then.. is there a key assignment to open that door somehow?

The VC is more like your photos though:

By the way, is it true that all of Eagle Air's 1900d's have no autopilot systems? If so... why not?

In Pictures 6 and 7 you can see the AP Unit, and in the Beeches the GPS is coupled to it, flying the GPS Course.

Would never have happened if you didn't 'encourage' me to get the new camera

Yeah..........your probably right.......I should take all the credit

'To everyone who believed in me and supproted me over the last year......these photos are for you'

HAHAHA LOL

Not sure how many here 'supproted' you Nik, sounds kinda painful to be honest, but I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we respect your right to express yourself as you are.

Happy supproting my friend, and with the power invested in me I declare that this, the 18th day of March, shall forever be called National Supproting day, and that the name Nik will be etched into the volumes of all recorded history so all that are yet to be born can celebrate your unique individuality.

:cheers:
