| Tutorial: Gauge Graphics, Part 3 |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Tutorial: Gauge graphics, Part 3. This comprehensive article describes methods for simulating gauge bodies, data windows, controls, and panel cutouts. Shadows, transparencies, text, beveling, feathering, contouring, textures, illumination, plus a host of other techniques are detailed. Over 300 illustrations were used to show how the graphics for an example FS gauge were created. That gauge is fully functional and available separately for D/L, file PatGauV1.zip. By Glenn Copeland

File Description:
FS2004 Tutorial: A Poor Man's Foot Pedals. This 16 page PDF document illustrates a step-by-step process for building a set of foot pedals. They have a smooth operating mechanism that results in increased control over rudder function, plus apply the brakes using your feet. The construction steps are the ultimate in simplicity. Cost is about one-quarter the price of commercial pedals. The tools required are found in most households. Absolutely no electrical or electronic work is needed. Construction time from start to finish is only a few hours. By Glenn Copeland

| Tutorial: Making Panels, Part 1 |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Tutorial: Part 1- Making panels with Xara and Paint Shop Pro.
Most of us modify panels at some time or another. If understanding more about panel construction catches your interest, then this 4-part tutorial can help get you started. By building a panel from beginning to end, graphic techniques will be illustrated in a step-by-step, easy to learn approach. They will teach how to make the structural components of a panel and wrap them in simulated 3D effects to achieve near-photographic realism.

| Check Gear Gauge |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Gauge- Check Gear Lamp. This is a generic gauge for all types of aircraft. It will issue two alerts; the first is a orange Caution to CHECK GEAR. If wheels are not extended and the aircraft continues with the landing approach, the second alert will then activate. It is a red Warning to CHECK GEAR. Lamps have Push-To-Test function. After takeoff, gauge will automatically enter a Standby mode and will signal that the gear position will be monitored during the next approach and landing.

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

| Pattern Gauge |
|
File Description:
FS2004 Pattern Gauge. This gauge calculates the heading for all five pattern legs around an airport for both left and right turns. After the pilot enters the two-digit runway data, heading information will be displayed for any desired leg by pressing an appropriate button. This gauge was the example used to illustrated a tutorial which shows how to make graphics for gauges. Part 1 of that file TutGG_P1.zip is available as a separate D/L. By Glenn Copeland.
