846: My Stream Deck XL Profiles

Last June in my Post 774, when I talked about the Elgato Stream Deck XL in my DIY cockpit,  I mentioned that I would share my profiles when they are properly-tuned.  Pardon me, I completely forgot about it until a friend, Nick, who recently asked me for a copy of it. MyStreamDeckXLS
So, here is what this Post is all about and the download link is included for those who are interested to play mine. Continue reading

843: EIS for X-Plane C172SP-G1000 Released

Here’s the X-Plane version of the EIS (Engine Indication System) developed for the C172SP-G1000 per some friends requests.XPL_C172SP_EIS_GIFS

Feature-wise, it functions identically to the one developed for MSFS.  Its appearance, however, is fully revised according to the G1000 on the C172SP in X-Plane.

Similarly, it is a good supplement when flying the C172SP-G1000 or the C172SP with the FIP Generic G5 Gauges. Continue reading

840: It’s not yet time to Upgrade

In the last few months, I’ve been repeatedly wondering if I should upgrade my computer, although the 3-years-old Intel 8-core 11th generation i9-11900K CPU, together with the nVidia RTX3080Ti graphics card and 64GB memory, does give me a stable and satisfying MSFS performance (from 40 something to 70 something fps) in general.

Instead of pondering out of nothing, I recalled the UserBenchmark utility I referenced before.  The followings are the results I got in the past weekend: Continue reading

839: G58 EIS Released

This is the fifth Engine Indication System (EIS) developed for the G58, which I didn’t expect I could done it by the end of the year.  MSFS_G58_EIS_GIFS

As the G58 is a two-engine aircraft, all features come with both Left and Right indications.  Moreover, the Fuel Tank Cross Feed option is also incorporated, which can be toggled by the left and right knobs on the FIP.

The Flight Endurance in hh:mm format and Range in Nautical Mile introduced from last EIS are surely included.

Very likely, this G58 EIS is the last or the second last EIS in my development plan for the default aircraft.  It’s not only becasue the layout of the EIS on the new SR22T is largely different from the original SR22 recently replaced, there are not much information could be found to support my work neither so far.

Anyway, for those who are interested in this G58 EIS, Continue reading
