Following the Zenith CH701 STOL, some of the FIP gauges for the Nemeth Designs Aerolite 103 have also been updated. Major enhancements in the R1r02 update include revisions to the Engine Cluster plus an extended version of the ADF which provides additional wind direction and magnitude information.

776: Zenith CH701 STOL R1r01 Update
The Engine Cluster 2 of the Zenith CH701 STOL released earlier this month has been updated to R1r01, which enhances the performance of Water Temperature gauge while running with the default Logitech MSFS Plugins.
An additional SPAD.neXt version of the said gauge is included to allow accurate water temperature reading via the dedicated Local Variable (LVar).

775: Zenith CH701 STOL Gauges Released
Thanks to Mikael in Sweden who sponsored me the SimWorks Studios (SWS) Zenith CH701 STOL, associated FIP instruments for the aircraft have just been released.
Mikael says, “I don’t fly these type of aircraft IRL but it is just something fun about this little bird for extreme bush flying.” Couldn’t agree with him more even though this slow speed Ultralight isn’t my favorite.
The gauge set basically includes the Airspeed Indicator (with MPH and additional KNOTS versions) plus the seven (7) Engine Gauges grouped in two Clusters.
For a complete CH701 FIP instrument line-up, Continue reading
771: Scrolling FUN with DHC-6 Altimeter
The hybrid-style altimeter which has analog needles and digit display are always my favorite. While flying the Aerosoft DHC-6 lately, I noticed that the “thousand” and “10-thousand” digits on the altimeter are not simply linear scrolling according to height. The numbers start to scroll up or down to the next value only from the last “50” and “500” at every hundred and thousand segment respectively.
I then thought it would be fun to add this little effect to the DHC-6 altimeter as such, although I tend to prefer the flipping style as it is more precise and easier to read.
So here’s the updated DHC-6 altimeter. The Clean Version with the new scrolling effect is on the left, and the Extended Version with the digit flipping on the right. Continue reading
767: New Multi-Shared VOR2
The VOR2 on the C152 and C172 used to be functioned and looked differently from each other and from the Multi-shared VOR1 as well when MSFS was launched. However, the two VOR2s got different changes in the last two years and finally become identical to each other and look the same as the VOR1 after the recent 1.23.12.0 update.
The VOR2 in the C152 and C172 FIP series are therefore united as one and moved to the Multi-Shared Gauges category just like the VOR1.
In other words, users can use the new MS VOR2 on both C152 and C172 now, and Continue reading
766: G5 PFD AirSpeed Scale 220311 Update
Due to the brightness of the Vref marks on the G5 PFD Airspeed Scale is a bit overwhelming that causes distraction from the rest of the instrument, the Vref marks have been dimmed a little to restore the balance of the instrument as a whole.
Apology for the short update period since the last one 3 days ago. Anyway, download Links have been sent to all users already.
765: GENERIC G5 PFD SR22 Update
As there are quite some inquiries regarding the Cirrus SR22 airspeed scale for the GENERIC G5 PFD, 
it is therefore added as the third airspeed scale (C172, B58, SR22) coming as standard in the G5 PFD (both single- and dual-cue) R4 package now.
It can be called up by the “G5 Airspeed Switcher” utility after update.
With the SR22 3-Gauges Pack and the GENERIC G5 PFD+HSI, Continue reading
764: MSFS GaugeSwitcher Special Edition
Due to the latest Generic G5 PFD v4 coming with an “Airspeed Switcher” utility to allow users to quickly switch among different Airspeed Scales for the aircraft being flown, a special MSFS GaugeSwitcher v11A, which embedded the Airspeed Switcher function, has been created for those Generic G5 PFD users who are using the GaugeSwitcher as well.
Except the extra PFD Airspeed Switcher function, the new v11A version works exactly the same as the current v11 in essence.
So, if you don’t have the Generic G5 PFD v4 in your setup, or you don’t run the Generic G5 PFD v4 in MSFS, you don’t really need this special edition. Continue reading
