AviTab Integration Mod for the Airfoillabs King Air 350 - Version 1.1

This is a fully working integration of the AviTab plugin for the King Air 350 by Airfoillabs, for X-Plane 11. The tablet works perfectly in the regular 3D cockpit as well as in VR, with both mouse controls and touch controllers. Home button toggles the display on/off.



Compatible with the RXP GTN 750 mod by @Ither, both single and dual variants! Also works with the default MFD and FMS avionics if preferred.

Features a version with full built-in VR support of the aircraft thanks to SimVRlabs VR mod for the King Air 350. This allows the yoke to work with mouse/touch controls, all switches work correctly in VR, and the trim wheel is optimized for touch/mouse usage.

CREDITS

REQUIREMENTS

For VR setups: Already includes the SimVRlabs tweaks for the AFL King Air 350



KNOWN ISSUES

- Upon first loading the aircraft, the power levers may not be able to be moved back into the beta or reverse ranges. To fix this, using the King Air's left edge main menu (top row), set the aircraft into either the 'before taxi' or 'before takeoff' states, then optionally switch back to 'cold&dark' or 'before start' if so desired. The power levers will now continue to be fully usable in the alpha, beta, and reverse ranges.

- VR versions only: When the aircraft's control locks are placed around the yoke, the chronometer/time display panel will hover a bit off the yoke. When the control locks are removed, the chrono display will rejoin with the yoke and move with it correctly. However at times during autopilot flight, the chrono will still hover an inch or so off the yoke.

- Also not a bug per se, but the pilot side window does intersect with the tablet when opened.

Please let me know if you discover any other issues, and I will do my best to fix them!



INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: IF USING WITH ITHER'S RXP GTN 750 HD MOD (either SINGLE or DUAL), you must install this before proceeding!

The "King Air 350" folder contains the core files for the mod that all setups will use.

You will also need a 'KA350.acf' and 'KA350_cockpit.obj' file (as well as KA350_vrconfig.txt for VR installs).

These will vary depending on whether you are installing for VR compatability or not, and which avionics module you want to use it with (Default / Single GTN / Dual GTN)

1. Select the folder you will be using, first between Default (non-VR) and VR

2. From there, select the folder for the avionics setup you are currently using:

a. Default avionics: The default MFD/FMS. Choose this to use the AviTab integration with the default Airfoillabs King Air 350 files

b. GTN 750 Dual: Use the AviTab integration alongside a dual GTN 750 setup

c. GTN 750 Single: Use the AviTab integration alongside a single GTN 750 setup

3. Copy your [ 'KA350.acf' / 'KA350_cockpit.obj' / 'KA350_vrconfig.txt' (if appicable) ] files from your chosen folder into the "King Air 350" folder

4. IMPORTANT: Make a backup of the aircraft's main directory ('XP11 Install Location'\Aircraft\Airfoillabs\King Air 350). So you can revert back if something goes wrong.

5. Move the contents of the mod's "King Air 350" folder into the aircraft's main directory, overwriting as prompted.

6. Enjoy!
