170: Gauge Obsession

Have been obsessed in creating and modifying gauges for my Saitek Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs) lately.    Just couldn’t help doing it one by one again.

Here’s the Attitude and Vertical Speed meters for Centurion T210 again.   Actually they were modified not too long ago.   Moreover, even they are tagged for Centurion T210, the gauges can be used on other aircrafts as well.

Enhancement to the new Attitude Indicator is the inclusion of the Aileron and Rubber Trim functions.   Users can use the two knobs of the FIP to ajust the trim values as desired.

By modifying the FIP buttons as follows, users can reset both trim values quickly, when needed.

<Button Id="5" Name="A-Trim" Event="AILERON_TRIM_SET"/>
<Button Id="6" Name="R-Trim" Event="RUDDER_TRIM_SET"/>

For the Vertical Speed Indicator, Elevator Pitch Trim function and Flap Position indicator are added to it.

In particular, a Digital Display is also added to provide precise vertical speed information.    This is my favorite.

Similarly, the elevator pitch can be reset quickly with the following command assigned to an FIP button.

<Button Id="2" Name="P-Trim" Event="ELEVATOR_TRIM_SET"/>
