541: FIP Gauge Installer is now 8.0.150.0-Compatible
The automatic installer of my gauges is now compatible with the newer Logitech driver 8.0.150.0.
However, if you don’t encounter any issue with your current versions, keep on using them. DO NOT UPDATE your driver to the newer version.
Because if you do, all your gauges already installed WILL BE REMOVED and you will have to REINSTALL them again.
COCKPIT: Paul Alessie (EHAM, Netherlands)
Paul Alessie started building his generic GA cockpit a few years ago for the training of his private pilot license. The pictures shown below are from the 5th version of his cockpit, which is mostly based on the BeechCraft Duke but can also be used for several other aircraft.

There are new elements in the gauge set. One of them is the dual slip/skid indicators Continue reading

538: G5 Update for FSX/P3D is Coming
My original update plan for the G5 FSX/P3D version was June or July this year so I can spend more time on my cockpit rebuilding. However, since many G5 FSX/P3D users asked when the update will be available, I have pulled the plan to the top of my list.
Following is a quick video of the G5 (with dual flight directors) on B58 in motion.
In terms of appearance and operations, Continue reading

The C172SP Standalone Gauges (FSX/P3D) have just been updated to R5r02 with new back-lit effect as shown below comparing the previous version.

Following is a video showing the current status of the Garmin G5 gauges being developed for X-Plane. The ATT and HSI from the XPL B58 in the middle are used for comparison.
