Basis of a RNS & how it works

A Radio & Navigation System, or RNS, is all-in-one equipment that comprises a communications radio, a navigation radio, an automatic direction finder and a transponder.

Here, these instruments are known as COMM, NAV, ADF and XPDR, respectively.

Each one is an individual instrument, managed separately and with its own controls.

The controls are high-performance, multi-axis knobs with central push-buttons.

The knobs have an inner rim and an outer rim. These select the integer and the decimal part of the displayed values.

The COMM and the NAV push-button controls swap between the standby and active frequencies. These functions are internaly managed by the RNS.

💡 Tip

These push-buttons can be mapped as joystick buttons but they will always perform the swap task. By default, these two are mapped as joystick buttons 1 (COMM) and 2 (NAV).

The ADF and XPDR knob rims select the first two digits and the last two digits of these instruments.

💡 Tip

These push-buttons can be mapped as joystick buttons. By default, these are mapped as joystick buttons 3 (ADF) and 4 (XPDR).

The instruments are fully programmable as well as the backlit colors to enhance experience in an immersive environment.
