Hi,
Just shows what you can do with AirManager.
To motivate peeps to share there work is another discussion.
So best is to do what the OP was asking.

Too expensive, believe me, not anyone has enough budget to purchase the stack ...FlyerDavidUK wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 8:00 pm These look to be excellent, very thorough and accurate representation of several common real world devices. I'm glad I didn't spend any time on this.
Without watching the full 30 minutes of video, I didn't figure out if these are planned to become available in the online community library anytime soon or if they are fully cross platform.
They would be a significant addition and improvement to what is there at the moment.
And oh, seriously, no hope, no expectation ... : "Experimental Sim Avionics 1 year ago : No updates. There are no current plans to release anything. Sorry. "

Re: Modifying an stock instrument
In order to break the suspense and clarify for anyone, as I get a request to better explain by PM,
Tony @Sling "Experimental Sim Avionics" already produced some highly detailed and accurate instruments, that many of us would have found interesting if they were freely available from the Online Store or as Premium Panels. Tony has chosen to not yet released them, as reported by the already mentioned words from his Youtube channel, or doing otherwise, which we fully respect for both cases, though we really miss his amazing design and work
So no more than a friendly joke in my previous post
Gilles
PS : we already find 3 instruments from himself in the Online Store, one of them being a reworking
Tony is currently responsible of the instrument submission validation, before the upload process could occurs by Sim Innovations and is also a very active simmer on several sim platform, providing intensive and relevant support

Re: Modifying an stock instrument
Up to now this has indeed been the case but things have progressed and hopefully very soon these will become available as part of complete panels.

Re: Modifying stock instrument KX165A
I find this "sim/cockpit2/radios/indicators/nav1_bearing_deg_mag", "FLOAT",. I modify the community instrument and work for me. I use an externar hardware, works with Xplane only and has some detail but for me it is ok.FlyerDavidUK wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 12:15 pm Perhaps this thread should have a clearer title, since it is about the KX165A
Having looked into this, it appears that the device can provide a separate independent OBS function in addition to that provided by a connected CDI. Quite impressive, but I suspect rarely used.
Neither X-plane nor MSFS support this function natively. It should be possible to synthesise an additional OBS function within Air Manager, but it isn't straightforward - for example, X-plane doesn't provide a dataref with magnetic bearing to the beacon so you'd have to calculate that from the true bearing and variation, then maintain a separate adjustable OBS heading and display the difference between the two.
I regret this wouldn't be high up on my priority list, but perhaps someone else might be interested to implement it.
