I have been advised (by Trutrak) that the Sorcerer will work with the AF 5000 - but I'm unclear as to exactly how much functionality to expect. My particular questions are:
(1) Will the AF 5000 show Flight Director commands when linked to the Sorcerer / GNS 430W?
(2) Will Roll steering be available also through the EFIS with this set-up?

If anyone has any experience with a Sorcerer and AF 5000, I would greatly value your input!

Cheers

I have dual 4500s with a sorcerer and they work well together. If I remember correctly back some years ago the T/T products needed an update to marry the AFS system and I did that. I want to update to the 5000 series AFS and have been told that it will be a plug and play in that respect. I would email TT with your sorcerer software ID and ask if you need an update, Lucas will know. Additionally I have a switch that will let the EFIS or the 530 control the sorcerer and have done that with a 5600 as well. To clarify I do not believe a switch is recommended with the AFS A/P or necessary. Larry
