General Aviation Keyboard Modification Demonstration:
Tuning a VOR
This is a short demonstration of how we're using the General Aviation
Keyboard Modification. We're going to set the NAV 1 receiver without
using the mouse.
For this demo, we're sitting on the ground at our local airport, and we'll
just tune in the frequency for the VOR on the field.
Push the NAV SEL button and these numbers are highlighted on the
standby frequency
We're using the Increase Selection and Decrease Selection buttons to
tune the nav radio
Push the NAV SEL button twice and tune the numbers to the right of
the decimal point. The frequency is 111.4
Switch it to the active frequency
Now we verify that we've tuned the correct station. Press VOR1 ID,
listen for the Morse code identifier
and check that against your chart
Then press VOR1 ID again to silence the Morse code
By the way, we're using default FSX events that we've re-mapped to
the button locations on our modified keyboard. There's no coding or
hacking necessary.
Now we will center the OBS needle,
Press the button that looks like the OBS knob, and use the Increase
Selection and Decrease Selection buttons to center the needle
We're dialing in the bearing TO the station, in this example.
And that's it! You can modify a keyboard like this for your flight
simulator. You can also build the GA home cockpit frame we're
showing here. Our videos and instruction manuals show you how to
build your own. It's a do-it-yourself project, so check out
DIYflightsims.com for more info.
