VTOL/Hover gauge for Fairey Rotodyne

File Description:
This freeware gauge adds new VTOL & Hover features to Kazunori Ito's Rotodyne. 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 FS2004 variables from an XML gauge. Requires FSUIPC (registered or unregistered, NOT included). The README includes extensive installation and flying instructions. By Rob Barendregt.

VTOL for Helicopters

File Description:
This package contains a VTOL control gauge for FS9 Helicopters, that works around some FS9 limitations and/or incorrect flightdynamics, which makes them sometimes hard to control them; especially at low airspeed and when you have your Realism sliders set above minimum. It provides: - Smooth and stable VTOL capabilities, with pilot-controlled ascent/descent rate, longitudinal and lateral speed, heading, pitch and bank. - Works also in windy conditions. - Automatic activation below 25 Knots IAS, so does not influence the aircraft's flight characteristics in normal flight. - Adds an Autohover/Autopilot function. It requires prior installation of FSUIPC. Fully documented and easy to install in your panel; includes a list of tested helicopters (see README). NOT FOR FSX ! By Rob Barendregt.

VTOL/Hover for F35B-JSF

File Description:
This freeware gauge adds new VTOL & Hover features to the payware Iris F35B. 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 F35B to FSX. By Rob Barendregt

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.

VTOL update for various aircraft

File Description:
This package updates my FS9 VTOL gauges, for which I have made various versions for specific aircraft. Like several (Sea)Harriers, V22-Ospreys, a F35-JSF and a Jupiter2 spaceship. Pre-install of these previous packages (see Installation) is required. Main improvement: a perfectly smooth VTOL behaviour. By Rob Barendregt.

FSX Carrier Operation Package V3.0

File Description:
This freeware archive contains a set of gauges, effects and sounds which you can add to tailhook-equiped aircraft in FSX, and enables you to perform takeoffs and approaches/landings on aircraft carriers (static AND moving !!). It features: (1): A catapult gauge, enabling a catapult-launch takeoff. (2): An arrester gauge, enabling a cable-arrested landing. (3): A IFLOLS gauge, enabling accurate approaches and landings. (4): A SonicBoom effect (visual and audible) plus controller gauge. Includes extensive installation/usage documentation. Requires prior installation of FSUIPC. Special credit goes to Doug Dawson; without his (included) interface gauges (a.o. for speedcontrol, lauch/arrest zone definitions and soundplaying) this package would not exist. By Rob Barendregt.

Pushback, Taxispeed control, etc UPDATE

File Description:
This package is an optional addon to archive rcbgh-50.zip, and contains a solution to Open/Close the Groundhandling window via a permanently visible Icon. Prior installation of RCBgh-50.zip is required ! By Rob Barendregt.

PSS ABPro pushback

File Description:
Made from Rob's RCB_groundhandling_5 pushback gauge, available here for download, this gauge is to be used with the PSS A3XX 2D panels with FSX. Matches colors and PSS panel behavior, night and day, VFR and IFR panel. Not 3D panel. Doesn't use a window, but is a fully integrated gauge. Includes pushback feature only. See pbx_readme.txt included for more details.

Groundhandling gauges (Pushback, Taxispeed control, etc)

File Description:
This archive contains version 5.0 of my "groundhandling" gauges, like automated pushback with conversation sounds, a Taxispeed controller using throttle AND brakes, and more; it can added to any aircraft. New in V5.0: 1. Only for FSX !! 2. Accurate interworking with the new FSX pushback tugs. YES, finally :-) !!! 3. Reworked Brakes gauge. 4. Taxispeed gauge now has a built-in ARM function. Easy to install, and fully documented.
