RIO Computer Address Panel: The other options ?

[Satarosa]

Currently we only use 20% of the menu functions..

 

I would like to know what are the other functions and how to use them ?

 

And if they will be implemented later?

 

 

 

It would be nice if someone expert create a complete guide of CAP menus and describe ALL of the functions..

It's intuitive, I tested the various combinations. I guess some aren't fully implemented yet (or were bugged, see time to WP) or need some additional work, hence they haven't been included in the manual yet.

 

 

 

Long story short, the criterium is what is hook (or not hooked): target, wp, own aircraft.Depending on that, you have, for instance, by pressing [4] the reading shows your altitude, hooked contact's altitude or WP's.

 

 

Have fun with the bearing! ;)
