Hello,
I'd like to ask another obvious question. As I definitely tend to enjoy GA mor than anything else, I tried out the Maule Orion which seems to be my new favourite plane. I set a short flight ending at a small airfield (EPBA) and since I'm fed up with navigating on GPS with it's delayed response, my idea was to track outbound using the NDB in Cracow... Simply I can't figure out where to tune my ADI. compared to C172, there is one radio panel less in the Maule, and even if I did locate the "ADI" button in the uppermost row ofthe radio panel I see no effect of it. I found no hints in the "Learning Center" reference either.
Could anyone help me tune my HSI to the NDB frequency?

You can't tune an HSI to an NDB. The ADF is for the NDB. An ADI is an Attitude Director Indicator.

You need to find the ADF head and us it to tune the NDB. There is a separate indicator for the ADF.

Oops, my question was even dumber than I thought! But I'll continue anyway - where is my ADI i the Maule then? I see the HSI duly below the artificial horizon, and the plain VOR (Nav2) reciever below the autopilot panel... I can't find any other navigational indicator? I do recognize i i Cessna and in the Mooney, I thought I knew how this thing is supposed to look like?

I don't think there is an ADI aboard the Maule. It uses an artificial horizon instead.

I've never flown the Maule in FS. It may not have an ADF.

I just checked and apparently the Maule doesn't have an ADF....

GPS it is!!
