851: BKSQ Duke Piston Gauges Released

The Engine Clusters for the Black Square (BKSQ) Duke Piston B60 and B60 Grand are now completed.  The package not only includes the Manifold Pressure, RPM, Fuel Flow, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature and Cylinder Temperature Gauges in full format,

but it also comes with an Extended OTP version that integrates the left and right OTPs plus the Fuel Quantity Indicators for either the B60 or B60 Grand together.

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

848: Pilatus PC12 EIS Preview

Here’s a video preview of the coming Engine Indication System (EIS) for the Carenado Pilatus PC12.  There are still loose ends to tie up but hopefully it will be released in the next few days.


847: Pilatus PC12 Gauges Updated

The three Carenado Pilatus PC12 gauges have been updated to version R1r01, in which bug fixes and number precision enhancements were implemented.

842: My MSFS Graphics Settings 24-0115

To be honest, I am quite happy with the Graphics Settings I came up to last month.  Followings are some more finetunings (highlighted in purple in image below) I revised over the month. MSFS_240115_SettingsM1
In short, Continue reading

Download Links have been sent earlier today and they should be in all users’ mailboxes by now.  Should you not getting it, Continue reading

839: G58 EIS Released

This is the fifth Engine Indication System (EIS) developed for the G58, which I didn’t expect I could done it by the end of the year.  MSFS_G58_EIS_GIFS

As the G58 is a two-engine aircraft, all features come with both Left and Right indications.  Moreover, the Fuel Tank Cross Feed option is also incorporated, which can be toggled by the left and right knobs on the FIP.

The Flight Endurance in hh:mm format and Range in Nautical Mile introduced from last EIS are surely included.

Very likely, this G58 EIS is the last or the second last EIS in my development plan for the default aircraft.  It’s not only becasue the layout of the EIS on the new SR22T is largely different from the original SR22 recently replaced, there are not much information could be found to support my work neither so far.

Anyway, for those who are interested in this G58 EIS, Continue reading

838: DA40-NG EIS Released

This the forth Engine Indication System (EIS) customized for the Diamond DA40-NG.MSFS_DA40-NG_EIS_GIFS

Since there’s no direct FS variables for the Piston Load of the aircraft in percentage, it took me quite a while to figure out an alternative way to implement it properly.

In addition, Flight Endurance in hh:mm format and Range in Nautical Mile are included by request, which are not consolidated in the first three EIS.   However, they will be added back when updates released.
