Do any planes in MSFS feature the Century 2000 AP ? (ideally in a reasonably realistic way )
(would have to be a Payware or Freeware addon one)
You wanna see if you can replicate Jenny Blalock’s (TNFlyGirl) crash, right? Or at least find out what could have went wrong there. I’m also very curious in how that thing works as it seems way more basic than those modern Garmin AP’s.
Correct— but I don’t think you need to have a Century 2000 AP to simulate what “may” have happened. you can do so in say the C172SP (Steam Gauges), with the KAP140 AP,
Just try climbing in VS mode, starting from say 5000ft , with the power back, (say 1800 rpm in the C172)
RPM may be back for many reasons, over-leaned, fouled, or just set incorrectly. (in a more complex plane - Low Manifold Pressure of about 15)
The results are very similar, - a series of climbs , stalls with resulting descents, ending up in a final stall - dive decent at high airspeed, into the ground.
Brings home the basics very clearly–
- To climb – add power
- To descend - reduce power.
as opposed to just pointing the noise up or down
