FAQ

Please see the Wiki for answers to common questions.

Aircraft developers

Include the following entry in your panel.cfg:

[VcockpitXX]
size_mm = 860,388
pixel_size = 860,388
texture=$KLN90B_Screen
htmlgauge00=NavSystems/GPS/KLN90B/KLN90B.html, 0, 0, 860,388

It is also advisable to use a panel.xml for configuration.

Aircraft should only interact with the KLN 90B via H Events. The events are listed in HEvents.ts. A few LVars are available for animations.

The Wiki contains further useful information, such as Hot Swapping/Package detection and External Annunciators .

You are free to include the KLN 90B into your aircraft. If you do, write me a message. so I can include it in the list of aircraft that use the KLN 90B. If your aircraft is a payware aircraft, I would be happy to receive a copy.
