TerraVue: Moving Map, Ground Proximity, Information pages

File Description:
FS2004 Gauge: TerraVue. This gauge contains a moving map display with a terrain elevation legend color-keyed to the FS9 map. The legend allows the elevation of terrain lying ahead of the aircraft to be taken into account. TerraVue can display the FS map in seven ranges from 4 NM to 160 NM. The Map mode also employs animation to show the proximity between the aircraft and ground in a graphical and digital display with indicators showing whether the distance is increasing or decreasing. The gauge can be switched to the Information mode which will display up to four individual pages of data that is created by you. These scrollable pages may contain checklists, airport diagrams, approach plates, strip charts, etc. Fully functional, free software to help quickly construct these pages is included along with an illustrated tutorial that demonstrates the simple copy/paste process that tailors these pages to include whatever data you wish. For panel or separate window installation with TerraVue Icon gauge. By Glenn Copeland

Xenon XLC2 Gyrocopter

File Description:
First of all, the flight model of this add-on isn't exactly like the real thing; it's better :-) To date, the real Xenon gyro isn't able to do true VTOL, nor is it able to perform zero-airspeed hovering or jump-takeoffs. But this expected to change in the near future, like already seen in e.g. the Carter Gyro Demonstrator. This FSX add-on however, already anticipates on that :-)

TWiDgau

File Description:
FS2004 TWiD gauge (Track,Wind,Drift) versions 1 (corporate) and 2 (commercial/military). Both have five analog displays that show heading, course, track, drift, wind direction, and wind speed information. By keeping the Track cursor aligned with the Course cursor while flying, the course-diviating effect of wind drift will be eliminated. Also helpful for hovering/landing helicopters because of the 360-degree track presentation. By Glenn Copeland

WhazzUp

File Description:
FS2004 Gauge: WhazzUp. Or, what's down. It may be your trim, your airspeed, fuel, flaps, landing gear, spoilers, throttle, ailerons, elevators, or rudder. Okay, sideways on the rudder. WhazzUp tracks the position of all these elements and shows the results in multiple displays on the gauge. It also warns of overspeed, stall, and low fuel. Diode indicators show neutral trim conditions for the ailerons, elevators, and rudder. The trim on each of these can quickly be set to zero with a single press on the associated diode. For panel or separate window install. With Icon gauge. WhazzUWaitN4? By Glenn Copeland

Tutorial: Gauge Graphics, Part 4

File Description:
FS2004 Tutorial: Gauge graphics, Part 4. 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

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

Tutorial: Making Panels, Part 2

File Description:
FS2004 Tutorial: Part 2- 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.
