850: BKSQ Duke Turbine Engine Released

Originally I was planning to work on the Pilatus PC12 RMI after the aircraft’s EIS (Engine Indicator System) project.  However, since I’ve been playing the Black Square (BKSQ) Duke Turbine quite a lot, I decided to get the aircraft’s Engine Cluster completed first.

849: Pilatus PC12 EIS Released

Last week, I said I could finish the EIS project for the Carenado’s MSFS Pilatus PC12 by weekend.  Things happened unexpectedly.  Anyway, it’s now ready.

One thing worth noting: due to hardware and software limitations, the way how Carenado implements the ITT function on the PC12 is virtually impossible to be ported to the FIP directly.  This causes misalignments between the values sent to the FIP and the ones shown on the virtual EIS.

Although the bug is unsolvable, the way the ITT performs, luckily, Continue reading

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

844: Running FIPs after Switching to XP-12

Since Logitech doesn’t have a specific FIP plugins for X-Plane 12, from time to time I receive inquires from friends asking how to run FIPs after switching to the new platform.

It’s simple.  Just copy the “XSaitekProFlight” folder from X-Plane 11’s plugins directory into X-Plane 12’s plugins directory. That will do.

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
