File Description:
This set of 3 gauges is for use in the Saitek FIP and is an extension to my FIP gauge. That set of 3 gauges was designed to complement the Saitek AP/Multi panel and primarily showed the selected AP Altitude and Vert Spd whilst the Saitek AP/multi panel was displaying HDG. The second main part of those gauges were the Fuel Level displays, each gauge displaying a different combination of fuel tanks to suit the aircraft being flown and thus offered functionality for all types of aircraft.
This set of 3 gauges is designed for the same purpose but now encompasses a working AP that allows you to select HDG, ALT and VS values and activate the HDG and ALT mode (and AP master switch) to enable auto-pilot flight (for those who have a FIP but not an AP/multi panel).
For those who have an AP/multi panel, it gives a backup AP in your build/rig (although it all works off the same FS telemetry, I have found that when the AP/multi-panel freezes, especially the 'Alt' button, then this FIP gauge can de-activate it. The combinations displayed are those that suit my choice of aircraft, however it is easy to re-configure gauge Elements (fuel tank names) and artwork (fuel gauge titles) to suit the combination you prefer.
These gauges also retain the gear, flaps and light indicators, auto rudder on/off button plus rudder and aileron trim capability that were in the previous gauges. An additional feature is the battery switch will now turn off the AP display and fuel levels.
The artwork in these gauges has also been upgraded a bit and a template artwork is included to assist in customising.
