Reshaped interior to match photos, with covered luggage bin behind
second seat.
Added more triangles to the panel to round it out.
Moved viewpoint to match up better with seats.
makes ground handling more realistic -- the tail comes off earlier due
to stability effects, and the extra aerodynamic stability (and the
extended rudder arm) makes the aircraft more controllable and less
likely to ground loop.
suggestions from Cameron Moore. The pilot view position is now
further back, further to the left, and higher, giving better
visibility over the nose and out the left window for circuits and low
passes (i.e. to see the wind sock). The initial view angle is down
20%. Unfortunately, the default FOV is slightly wide-angle, and the
down view makes that noticeable.
It's a little funky to use right now because
the FRQ and timer buttons should be momentary action.
As it stands you need to do 2 clicks to send on/off.
If anybody can think of a workaround, we could use one.
For now the ADF and BFO buttons just toggle the
annunciators. For ANT mode, I just need to wire up the
ADF needle.
Two clicks on FRQ flip flops the selected and standby
freqs.
Two clicks of FLT/ET will change the standby display
to timer mode and another two will flip between
FLT and ET. If you click and the annunciator flashes
briefly but the display does not change, you need
to click FRQ -one time- to get the button in phase.
ET mode has a count down mode, this is where it really gets tricky.
On the real thing, you hold the SET/RST button for 2 seconds.
Here you must click one time, wait for the display to flash then
click one more time. Now you can set the time to count down.
Right clicking the dial will set minutes, middle click (I know,
I'll make it a keyboard modifier later) sets hours. As usual
the left side decreases and right side increases.
Once you have the desired time set, click the SET/RST button
twice in rapid succession. Two rapid clicks will reset the
elapsed timer when it's counting down, but also while you are
setting it (when display is flashing).
When the count down timer reaches zero, it starts counting up again.
It -should- flash for 15 seconds and set off a warning tone, but
for now it doesn't.
The unit is also equipped with an on/off/volume knob. Whne the
unit is powered down the timers are reset.
