VTOL/Hover gauge for Alphasim's V22-Osprey

File Description:
This freeware gauge adds new VTOL & Hover features to Alphasim's V22-Osprey. 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, simular to the implementation of catapult launch / cable arrest in my Carrier Operation Package; 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 FS2004 variables from an XML gauge. Requires FSUIPC (registered or unregistered). The README includes extensive installation and flying instructions. By Rob Barendregt.

Afterburner Control gauge

File Description:
This freeware gauge controls an aircraft's Afterburner: (1): Includes an on/off switch and state-light. (2): It prevents the Afterburner being activated if throttle < 95%. (3): Controls a visible effect via the LOGO lights. (4): Controls an audible Afterburner sound and switch-click sound. Although it can be used for any aircraft with an Afterburner, the installation instructions (with examples for two very popular aircraft) assume that you have my Carrier Operation Package (file rcbco-20.zip) installed for that aircraft. The README also explains how you can add real Afterburner thrust to your existing aircraft, using AirEd. By Rob Barendregt.

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).

JELAIR - Hurricane-Hunter Weather Monitor (version#2)

File Description:
This xml-gauge is for pilots flying weather-research flights. It measures a variety of weather variables (and stores the HI and LO values for some of them). New in version#2 is the vertical weather-spectrum recorder, which can record the weather for each 500 feet of altitude from the ground and up to FL300 (This can be useful for instance if you need to get the latest actual approach-weather, along a glideslope, relayed to a pilot coming in for a high-priority approach. It can also be used to record the weather at different altitudes inside a hurricane, or any other weather-system, and then analyze the weather-data once you are back on the ground.

Apollo PVI (Pilot Vehicle Interface) /GPS

File Description:
This gauge is modeled after the Apollo PVI for commercial jet aircraft. This gauge is written in XML and is designed to mesh with the default FS9GPS map input data. Compatible with FS2004 (FS9) ONLY! Size (pixel size) is the same as the FS9 default GPS so placement (or replacement) of the gauge is quick and easy.

Apollo MX20 Multi-Function Display/GPS

File Description:
This gauge is modeled after the Apollo MX20 Multi-Function Display. This gauge is written in XML and is designed to mesh with the default FS9GPS map input data. Compatible with FS2004 (FS9) ONLY! Although I tried to make this gauge as close to the real Apollo MX20 as possible it is not considered to be an exact replica. It is limited to certain features that the FS9 data will provide. It does however have all the great features that the default FS9GPS offers and offers an alternative to the default GPS. Size (pixel size) is the same as the FS9 default GPS so placement (or replacement) of the gauge is quick and easy.

FS2004 GPS Map View Gauge v2.0

File Description:
The ultimate gauge. The Map will show: Airports details (Runways ID's, length & ILS), VOR's and NDB's frequencies, Intersections and waypoints, Airspaces, Approaches and flight routes. You can toggle the view you require for your flight. Also you can zoom in/out to see the nearest airports, vor's and ndb's. The map will indicate A/C heading flightplan title and waypoints ID's. Version 2 includes more enhancements such as the ability to input the ICAO code of any airport and the map will show all the frequencies of that airport including ATIS, ILS, AND COM. In addition, the map will show the active runway designations, length and width.
