Rebuilding the shader cache of the simulator helps fix problems suddenly coming up without a proper cause. The reasons explained in my Post 58: Rebuild FSX Shader Cache for FSX. It is applicable to P3D as well.
There are friends asking if it is possible to automate the deletion process right before the running of FSX or P3D, when needed.
Surely it is possible. Continue reading
Here comes the brown color variations of the Attitude Indicator as promised months ago. Notification and download links for this update have been sent to all users. 
Unlike the previous updater, Continue reading
Yes, you saw it right. Besides the usual gauge instruments, you can now put the GPS onto the FIP !
Last November, Alexey Podrezov’s FIP Customizer gave us the ability to freely replace the FIP’s default product image as well as to easily disable the serial number from showing up on the FIP.
This summer, Alexey further enhances his utility by adding a number of great features to it. The new utility is called the FIP Toolkit.
In addition to the already mentioned “GPS Display” function, the utility can also project Continue reading
My logic of tuning the rudder pedals for Prepar3D in the first place was to reduce the sensitivity of the axis control, assuming the adjustment could make them more manageable. Also, it was 
based on the default setting in P3D as well as all the good results I got from my experience in FSX (as shown in the setting pictures on the right).
Sadly, after all the adjustments I made over the years as described in Post 242, 248 and 249 for P3D, I still had difficulties to avoid over-steering and under-steering the aircraft during taxi, especially at turns. Continue reading
The Attitude Indicator has just been updated to include the OMI Markers. They will 
light up accordingly when beacons are encountered around any airport that provides these signals.
Notification of this update patch has been sent to all existing users.
This update patch (so will be the future ones) is included with an automatic updater to make installation and update of my gauges as simple as possible.
The brown-color version of this gauge shown on the right is coming soon. Improvement doesn’t stop at what we are. Continue reading
The AirSpeed Indicator and Turn Coordinator of my C172 Integrated Gauge project have just been completed. Both are equipped with the Automatic Installer.
Features on the gauges are straight-forward and their operations have been demonstrated in the videos shown in Post 283.
Two things worth mentioning are: Continue reading
Some friends are curious about how my C172 Integrated Gauges all together look in real simulator. Here are four quick videos showing how they perform from Engine Startup, Taxi, Take-off to Maneuver. Background airport is Bowerman KHQM in the United States. Simulator is Prepar3D v25 with the free Bowerman airport addon from Orbx.
Truly, since my one hand Continue reading

Was originally planning to add the Automatic Installer to all my existing paid-gauges after the release of the coming AirSpeed Indicator and Turn Coordinator later this month. Due to receiving some immediate requests, revisions has been put upfront.
With this Automatic Installer, all user needs now just to unzip the package, and then click and run the utility. That’s it.
The installer will add the new gauge to the END of the existing gauge list and modify the SaiFlightSimX.xml under DirectOutput folder automatically. Original SaiFlightSimX.xml will be backup automatically too.
DO NOTE THAT Continue reading
