F4F FM2
« on: August 02, 2017, 01:42:30 AM »
I don't see an auto pilot mode light on the FM2 and F4f.   The new cockpits are nice but I miss the accelerometer.  Can we get g load added to the altitude and speed HUD?

I also noticed you were riding around with your right turn signal on for most of the night as well.          :D

I was on my way to the Early Bird dinner special at Denny's -- just couldn't remember which runway to land on.   :P

 It seems both RPM and MAP gauges are off in the FM2,or they dont match the E6B power settings.

You're looking at the mixture control. The RPM control is a push-pull rod.

Also, seems like the fuel gauge needle pivot is off center.
