I believe the KLN developer would like to make it available via the Marketplace, but at present free packages aren’t allowed. However, who knows, maybe there will be a way to make it available to Xbox users in future.
I’d recommend you ask on the KLN dev’s Discord server.
Thanks Nick, the suggestion worked a charm albeit I had to use the middle button on my mouse.
Over the moon with this GPS unit! It has a real feeling of age and quirkyness which I really like. Once you understand the mechanics of how it works it really delivers and looks fantastic as well. Now that this unit is integrated within by far the best GA aircraft in the sim, what’s not to like?
If it’s properly installed you should be able to select it from the tablet. It will show as an additional option along with the GNS 530, 430, GTN 750 etc.
Yeah, we were hoping that v1.6.1 of the Comanche would make it out with yesterday’s Marketplace third-party update, but looks like we weren’t far enough ahead in the queue. Everything is signed-off with Microsoft though, so with any luck it’ll be with you next Thurs.
Just bought it on sale via the marketplace, a really good deal with regional pricing.
Love how alive the plane feels on the ground and all the detailed simulated elements.
It’s very pleasant to fly but I honestly don’t notice a huge difference between this and most of the better planes using the MSFS native modelling (Blacksquare Dukes being a good example). Trimming is easier and the plane just seems to stay where it’s put which is nice (almost on rails dare I say ). Then again I’m not a real pilot and can’t comment on realism.
It’s very heavy in pitch though and I feel like I’m muscling it around in the flare, especially with the honeycomb Alpha with its firm springs. Need some more practice I think.
Only other gripe I have is how quiet the exterior engine sounds are, they’re just so tinny and far away compared to the lovely cacophony in the cockpit. Is this just the case with the plane or is something odd going on (my exterior sound are set to max in MSFS)
Good news that 1.6.1 released today on Market Place. (Monday June 10th)
Version 1.6.1 on Xbox X. Having trouble with installing the Pitot Cover externally after the flight. I can remove it ok and install it using the tablet but not by clicking on it.
Hovering over the cover the tool tip says to left click on it to remove it and that works ok.
Holding the left mouse button gives these tool tips indicating left click to apply the cover but you have to hold the left mouse button to get this option so no way to click it.
I tried every combination of left, middle, right hold and clicks and also moved my view point but couldn’t find a solution other than with the tablet command.
You’re supposed to put the headset on when in the cockpit (bottom left) so they may have tweaked the outside sounds to better match with interior when headset is on. It’s very noisy in the cabin without them on, especially wind noise.
Thanks for a indirect notification about the awaited update, just went on to update and check the KLN and also your pitot issue, however for me on PC it’s flawless, single click on the tube makes it covered, spamming LMB also removes-applies as long as I click, maybe you need a reinstall cuz something broke during the update?
It is loud, especially when you get up to and into the orange zone, but that is a good indicator that you are getting dangerously fast!
I think the way the sounds blend is so well done. It’s the only aircraft I have where I have totally disabled FS Realistic.
I remember (amazingly, as it was over 25 years ago!) I was taken up for a flight in a microlight by a client of mine. It was seemingly made of some spare scaffolding and tarpaulin sheets. We had noise cancelling headphones but during flight I asked what it’s like without them on… he said “try it”. OMG! It was the second loudest thing I’ve ever heard! First being the Vulcan doing a fly-over
Actually the Vulcan was not really a sound at that point… more like your body spontaneously imploding!
