NOTED RV-4 - Altimeter and RXP issues (Continued from "RV-4 Thoughts / Questions")

[AlVo]

Hi, Jared.

 

Starting new thread here in continuation of previous exchanges...

 

1. So further to below exchanges - meant the steam gauge on the left side of the panel (picture enclosed).

 

Rotating the knob there does rotate the arrows, however the digits in the small window dont change - there is always about 970-980 there.

 

2. Talking about RXP unit itself.

Please don't hijack the thread, Ill answer these here but in future please don't

1) Need you to be more specific, There are three ways an analogue altimeter is displayed in this aircraft, 1.The Steam or round independent gauge located on the left of the panel, 2. The ticker tapes in the EFIS pages of the AF3500 or 3.The VFR page of the AF3500.

2) Are you talking about the GPS it's self or the Display in the AF3500?

3)The entire RV range are very light aircraft. Turbulent air throws them around a lot. The RV-4 is one of the lightest in their range

 

Hello, Jared.

Few things spotted my end so far:

1. The scale doesn't move/show correct numbers on the analog altimeter.

2. RXP GPS doesn't seem to show any details on the map except for land contours despite settings set to show full details.

3. Behaviour in turbulence sometimes seems unrealistic - the plane gets off course in all directions sharply (had same with Baytower RV some(!) repaints).

Jared, for RXP thing - may be my mistake. Don't recall setting map details on 430 to none but anyway - scrolling with CLR key has brought it all back. So no issue here... Thanks and apologies.

Actualy I was going to say that the configuration settings files included for rxp stuff with the rv-4 may be the cause. Should just be a matter of reenabling them.
