Can anyone recommend the Elite COM/NAV Module AP4000

[CrashEd]

Thanks for the ideas guys. The Flightlink equipment looks very nice. I'm definitely in the market for something that is close to 'real' as I can get.

I emailed Elite regarding their panels, but it seems that hey are not Vista64 compatible However, I have been contemplating going back to the 32-bit version anyway, as this is probably going to happen again int the future with other sim hardware, so maybe this will give me a kick. That's the weekend gone!

In the meantime I'll give the avionics some further thought...

"real looking" as you say.... Certainly not!

100% more better looking than that the goflight thats for sure!

Ed,

Another Vendor. Serious stuff too
At 1100 Euros for the set, if you like Collins radios....
I had those on a 206 , very pleasant to use.

Hmmm, very nice! That could well be an option. Better get saving!

I've been on the look out for something similar for our 172 too and been frustrated in finding the right combination with the right look and feel.

One I came across for the first time a few days ago was PlugnFly The unit looks good but doesn't have a DME display.

I have seen the VR Insight unit and it is so nearly there. For me it was let down with the lack of decimal ADF frequency - important when you want to get it right.

Elite are the ones to aspire to but until we get a few more members I'll just keep looking!

Thanks for the heads up, they look very good. I've decided to go for the Elite modules now. Although they are quite expensive, I like that they are modular so that I can buy more of them when I can afford it. Unfortunately they only run on 32-bit systems, so I've spent the last two day reinstalling everything (literally! ). I've gone for a Com, Nav, ADF and transponder module. This should get me up and running. DME is probably next on the list...

Will let you know how I get on

you know the simkits units too ?

not cheap, but modular, so you dont have to go for all units at once.

Stef> The ultimate! They are probably the best Bendix reproduction that I've seen so far. Very nice! The way the pound (GBP) is against the Euro at the moment has put these out of my price range, nearly twice as much as the Elite modules and they need a controller card at 400 EUR. Maybe one day!

For us it will probably be Com / Nav - ADF - DME. For navigation excercises the transponder isn't that important, but don't tell Norwich Approach that!

Yeah, I'm beginning to think I should have got the DME instead of the transponder, but it won't be too far behind!

Which modules have you gone for? Elite?
