Parking Brake Toggle Switch Gauge

File Description:
FS2004 Parking Brake Toggle Switch. Lock and release the parking brake by using this gauge. Switch is designed to stay synchronized with both the keyboard and joystick when those are used to set the parking brake. Red diode light gives visual feedback on status of brake. Gauge is available in two colors, grey and tan. Small bitmaps will allow installation in most all panels. By Glenn Copeland

Reduced Braking Effectiveness in Rain and Snow

File Description:
If you want more realism and are tired of having the same braking effectiveness in rain and snow as on a dry runway then this is for you. There are two gauges, "BrakingAction" and "BrakingAction_AntiSkid".
Use the gauge "BrakingAction" for aircraft which do not have an AntiSkid system; do not use it on aircraft with antiskid (e.g. airliners) - for those use "BrakingAction_AntiSkid".
The gauges will reduce braking effectiveness during rain, snow, and freezing rain. In addition, the "BrakingAction" gauge simulates blocked wheels if you stay on the brake for too long; blocked wheels will further reduce the braking effectiveness; in addition, blocked wheels will put wear on the tires on dry and rainy runways; this may lead to a blown tire.

NOTE: The gauges are made for users who either use the keyboard or an assigned button (or two for differential brakes) on the joystick for braking. The gauges will most likely not work with devices that allow a progressive braking input, i.e. that allow you to apply brake pressure anywhere between 0 and 100% (I guess there are rudder pedals that allow you to do that).

Groundhandling V4.0

File Description:
This archive contains version 4.0 of my "groundhandling" gauges, like automated pushback with conversation sounds, a Taxispeed controller using throttle AND brake settings, an arming switch that activates Taxispeed after a landing (incl. setting flaps, spoilers, autobrakes Off), Brakes sound, etc...., and can be added to any FS2004 (!!) aircraft panel. New in V4.0: 1. Better sound mechanism (using Doug Dawsons XMLsound gauge), with advantages: - Individually adjustable sound volumes. - No more "mis-use" of the ADF1 frequency, so no more SoundOn/Off function needed. 2. Reworked bitmaps and code. 3. State-dependant tooltips. 4. Straight pushback before turn is now in meters instead of seconds. By Rob Barendregt.

Groundhandling gauges, V3.2

File Description:
This archive contains version 3.2 of my "groundhandling" gauges, and work for both FS2002 AND FS2004. Like: automated pushback with conversation sounds, a Taxispeed controller using throttle AND brake settings, an arming switch that activates Taxispeed after a landing (incl. setting flaps, spoilers, autobrakes Off), Brakes sound, etc.... It can be added to any FS2002/FS2004 aircraft panel, including aircraft with Magneto-based engines (which was a major problem in the previous versions). Fully documented, including extensive installation and upgrade instructions. It's a complete package (including a solution for playing "xml sounds" in FS2004) in one .cab file, and does not require any other addons, like FSsound or FSUIPC. V3.2 solves 2 issues with using the Brakes. See included file "Upgrade V3.1 to V3.2 . txt".
