# KLN 90B

This is a simulation of the Bendix/King KLN 90B GPS for the Microsoft Flight Simulator.

## Pilots

Download the current version on the [releases page](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/releases/latest). This package
only contains the GPS device. To use the KLN 90B, you will need
an [aircraft that incorporates this project](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/wiki/Aircraft-using-the-KLN-90B).

> [!NOTE]
> Version [2.x](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/releases/latest) is only compatible with MSFS 2024.
> Version [1.x](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/releases?q=tag%3Av1) is only compatible with MSFS 2020.

## FAQ

Please see the [Wiki](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/wiki/FAQ) for answers to common questions.

## Aircraft developers

Include the following entry in your panel.cfg:

```
[VcockpitXX]
size_mm = 860,388
pixel_size = 860,388
texture=$KLN90B_Screen
htmlgauge00=NavSystems/GPS/KLN90B/KLN90B.html, 0, 0, 860,388
```

It is also advisable to use a [panel.xml](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/wiki/panel.xml-customization) for
configuration.

Aircraft should only interact with the KLN 90B via H Events. The events are listed
in [HEvents.ts](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/blob/main/kln90b/HEvents.ts). A
few [LVars](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/blob/main/kln90b/LVars.ts) are available for animations.

The [Wiki](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/wiki) contains further useful information, such
as [Hot Swapping/Package detection
](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/wiki/Hot-Swapping-and-Package-Detection) and [External Annunciators
](https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b/wiki/External-Annunciators).

You are free to include the KLN 90B into your aircraft. If you do, write me a message. so I can include it in the list of aircraft that use the KLN 90B. If your aircraft is a payware aircraft, I would be happy to receive a copy.
