ATC Interactive Gauge

File Description:
This file will add an interactive ATC gauge to the cockpit of any aircraft, default or 3rd. party. It enables the pilot to respond to ATC using a mouse (er, "as real as it gets", you see!), instead of reaching across to the keyboard all the time in order to press number keys.

RwyInfo 2 Data Update

File Description:
The purpose of this download is to allow you to update the data used by Ernie Alston's Runway Info gauge (RwyInfo version 2.0, available from http://www.fsbuild.com/rwyinfo/). This is an excellent little gauge that allows you to retrieve, through a gauge on your panel, information for all the runways at an airport (selected by ICAO code), and optionally automatically load frequency and course for an ILS into your NAV1 radio and MCP. However the usefulness of the gauge is somewhat restricted by the fact that it comes with a text database of 'info' to be displayed, and does not include any method for updating this info, other than by going into the text file and typing changes yourself (carefully, character by character). This is not really a practical method of getting the data to match your current FS configuration. What I have done is created a little utility that will create a new text database for the RwyInfo 2 gauge, based on your current scenery configuration.

However the usefulness of the gauge is somewhat restricted by the fact that it comes with a text database of 'info' to be displayed, and does not include any method for updating this info. This is Version 2 of this utility - the first version was uploaded a couple of weeks ago. The first version is not required to use this version. This version fixes some problems with the display of new airports and runs much faster than the original version.

Drift Meter Version 2

File Description:
This gauge, for FS2004, updates the drift meter gauge, published on 19 Jan. 2005. It is easier to use, comes with a panel icon, and has improved graphics. It simulates the drift meters used in the 1940's, measuring the drift of an aircraft off its heading due to the wind. In the old days of aviation, navigators had quite a job in windy weather. An advantage of the drift meter is that it has nothing to do with wind direction or aircraft heading. The measured wind drift is used to correct the aircraft heading to maintain course.

Simulated Aircraft Bubble Sextant Chart (addon)

File Description:
This is an add-on to the "dc3_bbsx.zip" Simulated Aircraft Bubble Sextant Gauge. While the simulated sextant determines the elevation to the star, it requires drawing lines of position on a chart to ascertain the latitude and longitude of the fix. The Global Navigation Charts (GNC) at scale 5,000,000:1 are suitable but not generally available for this purpose. This gauge simulates small sections of the proper chart, and automatically places the LOP from the sextant on the chart in the proper orientation. It includes installation and operating instructions, and an example flight description. Install the "dc3_bbsx.zip" first, if it hasn't been installed already.

DoorControl Gauge

File Description:
This is a small gauge to operate the doors via button click - at least the doors moving normally pressing CTRL+E+"a digit", wing fold or tail hook. There are three versions of the gauge inside the archive - one for every taste.

FS2004 Simulated Aircraft Bubble Sextant

File Description:
As travel by air developed and matured, navigation over long distances also developed and improved. In the early days, however, air navigation essentially used ship navigation techniques adapted for aircraft. Without "landmarks", the navigators used Ded Reckoning (DR) and the stars. Celestial or Astronomical Navigation provides a means of obtaining Lines of Position (LOPs) from the stars. Crossing LOPs will fix a position. It requires a chart, and a planned course on that chart, with waypoints specified by Latitude and Longitude, an assumed time of arrival at each waypoint, and stars (including the Sun, Moon, or planets) in view. In the 1940s, extensive tables of star positions were made available to air navigators to be used with sextants to obtain these LOPs. In the tables, all times involved are GMT. This data is available from the Internet in "ready to use" form. This gauge simulates the sextant, and the process by which one obtains a LOP, or crossing LOPs to obtain a position, or fix. Can be used with any FS2004 aircraft. Includes comprehensive browser-based manual and references.
