Afterburner Control gauge

File Description:
This freeware gauge controls an aircraft's Afterburner: (1): Includes an on/off switch and state-light. (2): It prevents the Afterburner being activated if throttle < 95%. (3): Controls a visible effect via the LOGO lights. (4): Controls an audible Afterburner sound and switch-click sound. Although it can be used for any aircraft with an Afterburner, the installation instructions (with examples for two very popular aircraft) assume that you have my Carrier Operation Package (file rcbco-20.zip) installed for that aircraft. The README also explains how you can add real Afterburner thrust to your existing aircraft, using AirEd. By Rob Barendregt.

Selection Correction gauge

File Description:
Does one of these problems sound familar ?? 1. In my multi-engine aircraft, I suddenly find that my throttle controller only works for Engine-1, and I cannot correct this by typing (default keys) the keysequence E 1 2 (3 4). 2. In my aircraft that has an Exit-2, I cannot open/close Exit-2 by typing (default keys) the keysequence Shift-E 2 (instead Exit-1 opens/closes). If so, adding this invisible gauge to your panel should solve these problems. Easy to install, and fully documented. By Rob Barendregt.

Event Logger

File Description:
This is a diagnostic gauge, targeted primarily at gauge and panel authors. It writes all Key_Events issued in FS9 to a log file, thus allowing the detection of repeating Key_Events which interfere with normal panel operation. It will not identify the gauge issuing the repeating Key_Events, but by identifying the Key_Events themselves, it should make the gauge issuing them somewhat easier to locate. If you have a panel which does not allow the selection of a second engine or exit, or which exhibits improper autopilot operation, this gauge may help you discover why.

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

Auto Flaps

File Description:
FS2004 Gauge: AutoFlaps. This gauge is a continuation in the line of automatic instruments designed to make life easier in copilot-challenged cockpits by taking over many tasks that would normally be handled by an extra set of hands. When activated, AutoFlaps will raise the flaps after takeoffs and landings. The only input required from the pilot is to turn on the gauge prior to the takeoff or landing. AutoFlaps works at a very small size and should find room on any panel; however, an icon gauge is also included for those who prefer a big gauge in a separate window installation. Also includes instruction for editing the gauge to change default operating parameters. By Glenn Copeland

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.
