760: M803 Style Generic Clock

Over the years, I got many requests for a standalone digital clock on the Logitech FIP (Flight Instrument Panel).  I didn’t do it because the Logitech FIP plugins doesn’t support FT (Flight Time) and ET (Elapse Time) functions for one reason. Moreover, I already added the Local Time and Universal Time option on all Airspeed Indicators I developed.M803_CLK-ORANGES1

But there are still some friends expressed that they don’t mind the skipping of the FT and ET functions so as to complete their cockpit setup.  So here comes the digital clock that are based on Davtron’s M803.

Besides the Universal Time and Local Time, the clock displays OAT in Celsius (C) and Voltage in Ohm’s Law symbol E (instead of V) as used on the M803.

The different functions are selected by the up/down buttons on the FIP.

In addition to the orange color, the clock comes with amber, yellow and blue so as to fit on different aircraft and meet with personal tastes.

Actually, since the brightness of FIPs might vary from production batches to batches and FIPs got dimmed due to aging, the 4 chosen colors have been carefully screened to provide the best viewing results during development. 

The clock looks pretty in my setup.  Hope it satisfies all those who requested it.

The clock is available here. now.
