The KLN90B is a panel-mounted, 8-channel, IFR-certified terminal, en route and non-precision approach GPS based navigation system with pilot updatable database. Combining the accuracy of GPS, an optional database with intersections and a unique on-screen navigation display, the KLN90B provides function and utility unprecedented in a panel mounted GPS for flight simulator. 


Note: This GPS is supplied by Alain Capt, from his excellent ACS-GPS series of flight simulator gauges.

ACS-GPS is a full featured programmable GPS. Up to 99 destinations can be loaded into GPS memory from a data file, in an easy editable text format. This is done automatically, when gauge is loaded by FS.

The data manager for the GPS gauge can be managed with (click link to download or navigate to the "Extra Goodies!" area)"ACS-GPS98 Data Manager". You can run this extension direct from GPS gauge or from outside FS. Data Manager will let you create, modify etc... as many programs for the GPS as you want. These programs can be then loaded into GPS memory, directly from the Manager.
 

Using the ACS-GPS for the FS2000 Pilatus PC12


POWER BUTTON ON/OFF
This will turn the GPS on or off. When on, the GPS will turn on an annunciator light located between the ALT and VSI gauges. This annunciator light is automatic.

RIGHT BUTTON "CRSR"
GPS will always display current airplane coordinates (long/lat) coordinates. Display of coordinates can be toggled between actual position  (Aircraft) or destination position (long/lat of next waypoint).

ROUND BUTTON "PREV/NEXT"
This pair let you select next or previous program leg or destination that appears on the top line of the display. Its recommended you do this in "standby mode", if you do this in "active mode" the aircraft will follow the inputs and change the course to  the newly displayed leg or destination.


 

LEFT BUTTON "CRSR"
GPS can work in two modes: A "tour" mode, where all loaded destinations are considered as a sequence of "legs" for the flight, or a "Single-Destination" mode. In this last mode, GPS will not switch automatically to next leg, when destination reached, but execute the selected destination behavior: Simply switch GPS to "standby" (disconnected from autopilot) and continue, circle over destination or switch to "standby" and activate "pause" of FS. Of course, in "tour" mode, destination behavior will occur on last leg.

LEFT BUTTON "MODE"
Then, we have a first group of information, on the top line of the GPS. In this first block are grouped destination leg information. You can see "ID:" of leg, followed by a full line to indicate the "name" of leg. "Leg:" indicate which leg is now active (displayed).

BUTTON "MSG"
Toggle Heading display between "theoretical" heading to destination (label HDG)
and compensated heading (label WHG). Will work only if aircraft is inside a wind layer.

BUTTON "ALT"
Display 4 seconds ground speed  (150) instead of ETA (--:--) only if a valid ETA is displayed.

BUTTON "D"
Reload data file function (if Data's Manager not used). Call the Data manager
before to reload data file when this extension is available.

BUTTON "CLR"
Select the destination behavior mode which is displayed just over the button. (On the lower right corner of the display, you will find the indicator of "destination behavior".

BUTTON "ENT"
GPS Mode toggle between ACTIVE (button will lit) and STANDBY (button is not lit).
