T-6/A Texan II GPS System

Like the Radio, the T-6/A Texan II's Global Positioning System is quite a complex system and beyond our current programming knowledge, however for the purposes of Microsoft Flight Simulator we have chosen to use only a single function displayed on the T-6 GPS. The following information relates to the single flightplanner route mode used within the IRIS Pro T-6/A Texan II.

The GPS system displays a number of functions; (Left hand side)

• Currently selected navigation reference point (Left) and next selected navigation reference point (right)
• Course Deviation Indexer
• Distance in nautical miles (NM) from aircraft position to next selected navigation reference point
• Ground Speed
• Estimated Time of Arrival at next selected navigation reference point
• Bearing to flightplan route.

GPS display items; (Right hand side)

• Bearing Direct To the next selected navigation reference point.
• Current Altitude
• Current Latitude value of the aircraft
• Current Longitude value of the aircraft

The bottom left of the GPS display shows either GPS or NAV1 depending on the selected navigation method on the EFIS panel.

For those people wishing to use the stock Microsoft Flight Simulator GPS, we have provided an alternate aircraft version selectable within flight simulator. In that aircraft type, the stock GPS can be opened by maximising the Texan II GPS in the main window.
