News: P3D v5.2 Released

Just noticed that Lockheed Martin had released P3D v5.2 a few days ago.  Descriptions sound good with more than 100 new features and fixes and improvements.  https://www.prepar3d.com/news/announcements/2021/06/120786/

Hope this update solves the many issues reported before.

693: Gauges for PA28R Turbo III/IV Scheduled

Just flew about an hour with Just Flight’s newly released PA28R Turbo Arrow III/IV with my Arrow III gauges.

Besides the ASI, RPM and MFP, all remaining gauges in the current Arrow III series are good for the two new brothers as well.

That’s good.  I will schedule to work on those three gauges for the two aircraft.   And for those who already owned the Arrow III gauges, there will be discounts when the three gauges are ready.

691: G1000 on FIP now MSFS Compatible

Regarding Simgeneering’s G1000 MFD implemented for Logitech’s Flight Instrument Panel MFD (FIP) reported in Post 677, do you like me feeling a little disappointed since it is for FSX only?

No more, John, the developer, informed me that he has created a new version of the MFD that is compatible with MSFS now.

Besides needing more memory, system requirements are generally the same as the previous version.  That’s great.

You can check out more information about the MSFS version on John’s Simgeneering here.

Do note that this G1000 MFD requires Continue reading

685: GPS Navigation Enforced

Without a flight plan, the NAV needle (or CDI) on the VOR(s) will always stay in the center when the GPS Mode is selected:


Otherwise, when a flight plan is active, the needle will Continue reading

677: G1000 on FIP is now Possible

Have you ever had an idea if the G1000 instruments could be shown on the Logitech’s Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs), it would be great?
G1000-MFD
It is possible now.

John of Simgeneering, a private pilot in New Zealand, said he was inspired to create his own since he couldn’t find one on the market for his instrument rating training.

So far, he has implmented an emulator for the G1000 MFD (Multi-function Display), which Continue reading

662: PC12 Engine Gauges for X-Plane Released

Carenado’s Pilatus PC12 for X-Plane 11 is a fun aircraft.  With the FIP Gauges of ALT, ASI, RMI and VSI developed for it a little over a year ago, here comes the Engine Gauges for the aircraft at last.

Due to the long vertical span of the Engine Panel on the aircraft, Continue reading

655: ASI & ATT2 for Zlin Shock Ultra

Two new gauges for Zlin Shock Ultra in MSFS 2020 has been developed.  One is the Airspeed Indicator (ASI); and the other is the current Multi-shared Attitude Indicator (ATT) integrated with a small inclinometer.

Many Airspeed Indicators in MSFS 2020, including this Zlin one, are using km/h unit — a bit odd from KNOTS and MHP that are commonly used in FSX, P3D and X-Plane.  So I am including a KNOTS version as well for users to choose from.

For the variation of the MS-Shared ATT, Continue reading

644: MSFS DR400 Engine Gauges Delivered

The Engine Gauges for the MSFS DR400 was just completed before the scheduled deadline.   Those who ordered the DR400 pre-sale should have the download link for it in their mailboxes by now.  If not, contact me via email or the Comment Section below.

This Gauge should have been done earlier if I were not stuck by some issues from the simulator.  For example, the data of Fuel Pressure and Oil Temperature Continue reading
