I would really love to see a freeware plane using the KLN-90B. That would make it much more accessible for a wide audience. Let me know if you need any help or have any questions. You can also find our Discord community here if you prefer that:
Hi @Sal1800, I really have to say you have created a great aircraft! Exactly what I was looking for to do some heavy duty bush flying. It looks and flies wonderful and has lots of features, best of all the adjustable radio stacks - absolutely fantastic!
However sometimes when I start a flight my 206 doesn’t load its radio panel preset but starts with the default setup. Sometimes It’s enough to open the tablet and select my user setting, but sometimes all saved setting are gone … do you have any idea what could cause this and what I could do?
@Sal1800 Ever think to add this to the marketplace like how GotFriends added their freeware planes so xbox could access them? Marketplace has a $5 minimum but this is well worth $5-10, even $15 imo when compared to Carenado and local legends, etc. It would also put this plane on a lot of simmers radars seeing it in the MP. I would easily buy it to support the dev and the ease of updates, even if longer to acquire, is always a bonus.

The next update is almost finished. By request, I am adding the KLN 90B GPS. You will have to install it separately like the GTN750. And I am adding the Garmin GFC500 Autopilot panel.
I am happy to show off a visual enhancement mod for the G5 displays. And as you can see, they can be enabled for the copilot’s side. If you like flying from the right-hand seat, this will be nice.
I can see more areas to improve on the G5 so there is potential to make these instruments even more useful.
@MisterKay7305 I don’t have an answer to the saved state not always working correctly. I have seen this also but I haven’t found the root cause. In my day job I have an amazing QA team that is great at finding edge cases.
@KingEasy001 There are no immediate plans to have this addon in the Marketplace. I would have to partner with another developer who already has a Marketplace presence. For now, this is just a hobby project.
