Tutorial: Gauge Graphics, Part 2

File Description:
FS2004 Tutorial: Gauge graphics, Part 2. 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

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. By Glenn Copeland.

Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum Gauge

File Description:
FS2004 Gauge: Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM). This small gauge with a scrollable window is designed to give quick reference to all authorized VFR and IFR altitudes (to FL 590) based on the track of an aircraft. It also displays vertical separation requirements at each altitude. Magnetic tracks are monitored and and the active sector is indicated inside the West/East sector windows. The gauge is simple in operation with only two scroll buttons. The display screen is laid out to present all data in an understandable manner and to retain readability even at small gauge sizes. For panel or separate window installation with included icon gauge. By Glenn Copeland.

Altitude Alerter Gauge

File Description:
FS2004 Gauge: Altitude Alerter with Sound- This small gauge will active both a visual and audible alert with message (English) to remind you when the aircraft climbs/descends through any altitude from 100' to 50,000'. Altitudes can be quickly set to desired value. After activating an alert, gauge switches automatically into STBY mode and awaits next altitude setting. By Glenn Copeland

Pattern Gauge V2

File Description:
FS2004 only. This is a gauge in two parts. The display screen and the control bar can be installed in separate places on a panel and each sized to suit your needs. The 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.

Tutorial: A Poor Man's Foot Pedals

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
