Hi Mike,
Glad you like it !
I hadn't noticed the error , I haven't used the ADF much , but I see
the error now that you pointed it out.
I'm actually in the middle of redoing the panel , PFD ,radios , and
MFD displays are now  2D , and I'll fix the hotspots.
Current changes are an improved FDM ,a working dc-550 (PFD controller),
updating the flightdirector / autopilot to work Primus 1000 style
(which is going to require me writing a how-to manual)... an FMS mode ,
using the autopilot route-manager, transparent cockpit glass , a
pilot :), exhaust haze , and more I cant think of right now . The MFD
might be longer in development , but right now displays , true heading ,
Autopilot settings, current lat and lon , wxradar in the process of
being added , and just for fun , MP and AI aircraft radar for
multiplayer...
So a lot of changes , and more to come fairly soon...

Thanks for the update.  Quite a nice list of features.  Can't wait to see the results.  Quite a bit of functionality in that Primus-1000.  Looks like quite a job to implement it all.  Well, if I figure out everything, I'll probably kick in some work myself, time permitting.  FlightGear is one of the cooler pieces of software for a developer to mess with, though I'm mostly just learning to fly properly right now, which is plenty. :)

Most of the flight dynamics info I got from the www.cessna.com
website , and the Bravo Primus1000 manual I cant find anymore , thank
god I saved it to CD .

I found a lot of useful stuff there.  For example, my friend cracked a joke about "where's the cup holders", so I actually showed him. :)

Unfortunately, the only stats I've found are structural min/max type values and not basic flight characteristics.  My kingdom for a stack of flight manuals. :)  Anyways, not a topic to expand on in this forum.  Should be able to work everything out by empirical methods.

Thanks again,

Mike.
