VTOL/Hover gauge for Harrier

File Description:
This freeware gauge adds new VTOL & Hover features to the FS9 payware Sigma/Iris Harrier. Besides true vertical takeoff&landing, it allows you to fly forward, backward, sideways and turn, while in a hover. This solution is based on overriding the normal FS flightdynamics while in a hover; in short, it's a VTOL&Hover FDE coded in a gauge. Special thanks to Doug Dawson, who created a gauge that provides for overriding FSX variables from an XML gauge. Requires FSUIPC4 (registered or unregistered, NOT included). The README includes extensive installation and flying instructions, including how to port your FS9 version of the Harrier to FSX. Besides the VTOL gauge, it also adds a fuel dump/load gauge, a gauge that lets you change the vertical ViewDirection in the 2D Cockpit, and replacements for two FSX-incompatible gauges in the original Harrier package.
