Welcome to the NERIKENAUT Flight Companion!
This profile is part of the NERIKENAUT Flight Companion Hub that will be released later this year.
Important notice
To use this profile on your Stream Deck, you need to download and install “Flight Tracker”. Don't forget to give your thanks to Hy (the creator of Flight Tracker). Make sure to buy him a coffee or two.
About the NERIKENAUT Flight Companion
The Flight Companion turns your StreamDeck into an interactive controller that allows you to control your aircrafts different systems and gives you an overview of your most crucial gauges. Every profile comes with a startup and takeoff checklists.
Features
- Get full control over your comms and frequencies - Hold the COM/NAV/XPDR buttons down on your StreamDeck to change your frequencies and squawk code. Push to switch between your standby and active frequencies.
- Control your aircrafts autopilot through the StreamDeck – In the navigation folder you’ll find your aircrafts autopilot functions.
- Checklists - Easy to follow startup, takeoff, landing and shutdown checklists to follow.
- Overview of your systems - Have an eye on your Ts and Ps to get to where you are going in the safest way possible.
- Full control of your lights - In the "Lights" folder you can easily access your lights panel without having to look around in the cockpit.
The profile is regularly updated when new features are added to “Flight Tracker”. If you want to see certain features implemented – don’t hesitate to reach out.
Superb work - would appreciate a profile for the Carenado Piper Seneca PA-34T

Hi Nerikenaut,
I have sent you a pm, with some info to make the profile better.

Hi,
Thanks for the profile, I use it with great pleasure. It makes flying the Kodiak more immersive. Do you know a way to change the color of the simple gauges. That now is a yellow arc. Would be nice to add red segnments for eg overspeed. I have searched the internet but couldn'f find anything. I now change the displays for torque and ng, widening the line and use percentage's color. But having these on the arc display would me nicer. Thanks for the good work!!

I would like to know, too. At least a readme would have been nice.

Just some ideas here: And I WISH i knew how to prgram like you so I could maybe help out.
1) A throttle position read out if possible. This is for people whose joystick throttle does not have a backward detent. The readout will allow one to know when they are throttling back if they have reached the reverse thrust (beta). Mine is at 70% back but have know way of knowing unless maybe I put some marks on my joystick throttle.
2) On the GPS-1000 range knob they have the Joystick that scrolls the GPS map left right up and down. Mobiflight has the commands but it would be nice to use the Stream Deck to scroll the map. I don't like they way its works so slow with the mouse.
The GPS-1000 has lots of stuff but Ive programmed a lot using Mobiflight. Its the range knob joystick that hard to configure as its a joystick.
Update: I programmed it to my JS Hat with Mobiflight, it does work but its too slow unless I can find out a way to make a continuous press when holding the button. So constantly having to press the button would be a pain. I'll do some more research.
Second Update: I installed the GTN-750 mod and now the Range Joysticks are not needed and very obsolete.
Thats it. Thanks

Hello there! Thank you for your comment. Great suggestions, let me answer some of them.
Regarding the throttle position read out. It’s certainly possible and it’s a good suggestion. I went for the RPM read out because in the POH the RPM is mentioned more often than the power % itself. I have created profiles for many other planes and where the POH references the power setting, I usually show it instead. However, if you’d want to I can certainly share with you how you can get it on your profile?
Regarding the GPS system and controlling the map on the StreamDeck. Right now there aren’t really any good ways of doing this in a reliable way. I want this to be an option and I’m sure it will be down the line, but I don’t want people having to install another addon to get this going. The philosophy I have doing these profiles have always been one click plug and play.
A new version will be available soon and I'll make sure to take your ideas in consideration.

Thanks for some great work .Let me ask. How can we learn how to create a profile like you have just done? Does it take some special python programming or something similar? When I open your file it looks like its all in Hex. I'd love to make a profile myself. I got the VS and ALT working and realize its a bit different than the Mooney. You need to select the Target ALT then activate VS its sets to zero then you adjust the VS to what you want. One the Mooney it just goes to what ALT you dial in at +/- 700 ft/min.
Also the HDG event is differnt as you use the HDG_SYC event to line up the HDG bug with the G1000 unlike in the Mooney. So I prog'd a button on my Arduino to Sync heading on press then to activate HDG on release.
Great work.

Is there a way to reset the value of checklists buttons to red? Everytime I start a flight I have to press individually to all buttons. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the review, titime! I'll look into your request. I guess it shouldn't be too difficult to add a "reset to standard state" button. I'll look into it straight away! :D

Are the AP commands based off the G100 AP. I'm just struggling a bit with the VS Hold and ALT commands. It could be error on my part.
What event did you use for Toggle AP VS Hold
I may need to re-learn the G1000 AP again.
My head is spinning here: WE Have
SET AP VS HOLD
TOG AP VS HOLD
SET CURRENT AP VS
TOG AP ALT HOLD
TOG FREEZE ALT
SET FREEZE ALT
I need a tutorial to learn these.

I believe this is an issue on your end, I'm not sure though! I've been using the autopilot features for months without issues but you never know, haha!
All the commands are standard, regarding the autopilot. My workflow around this is to set everything up on the ground and when I have a stable climb simple activate the autopilot using the button. I'll look into if I can find any bugs.

Thanks for this! I'm new with Streamdeck. Does the checklists only illumates green when we perform the action?
Or it's a button to press so it does the action in the sim? Can we have the choice between the two? Thanks

Hello there! Thank you for downloading. The checklist is not connected to the actions in the simulator. It's a guide for you to follow, simply.
I wanted to make them fully interactive at first and while it's certainly possible (very unreliable though) I feel like there's something to it when you actually have to double check the systems. A bit more close to life.
I could try to create a fully interactive checklist system as far as it's possible. Obviously parts like "doors", "trim" and "flaps" are hard to create a "green state" on because they are variable. But I'll have a look! :D
