Following the RealAir Duke, the FIP gauges for the Aircreation 582SL have also been updated. The new version 160624 
includes a number of coding and graphical enhancements, in addition to some minor bugs fixed.
Users of the gauges should have received the download link by now in their mailboxes.
More to come. Stay tuned.
The R22 Robinson Gauge Set for the Saitek FIP is finally completed. It was requested by some helicopter fans many months ago. Equipment in the R22 cockpit, from compass to flight instrument, and from clock and warning lights to engine gauges, have all been integrated into this 9-FIP gauge set.
Similar to my other works, Continue reading
The Moritz Digital Engine Gauges for the Duke Turbine V2 are now ready, 
which completes the two RAS Duke gauge sets released earlier in March.
This engine set consists of six gauges in pair format, including the Torque (TRQ), ITT Temperature, NG %RPM, Prop RPM, Fuel Flow and Fuel Pressure.
One known issue — small deviations sometimes appear on the NG %RPM and Prop RPM gauges due to the two gauges using local variables (Lvars), which the Saitek FIP driver doesn’t support. It’s more prominent when the aircraft is on the ground, and less significant in the air.
Nevertheless, various workaround codings have been implemented to minimize incompatibility derived from the Saitek drivers. Continue reading
During my recent system recovery, many trivial issues found on my computer before the crash are also fixed. That’s a good thing. But unfortunately, there are new little issues coming up that didn’t exist before.
For example, I used to leave my Switch Panel, Radio Panel and Multi-Panel with power-on all the time, so that whenever I start the simulator, they could be put in operation immediately. But now, I have to load the simulator first and then plug in the USB hub on which the Panels are connected. Otherwise, the display on the Multi-Panel won’t turn on. Fix is yet to come.
Another issue is also Saitek related. Continue reading
I have a spare FIP sitting around for quite some times, which is only used occasionally for various testings via my network computer. Yesterday, I decided to throw in the underused FIP to the system to see how it effects.
Actually, the main reason for me not including the spare FIP to my system in the past was because the “6 FIPs + 1 Radio Panel across the top roll” and “1 Switch Panel + 3 FIPs + 1 Multi Panel” on the bottom constituted a pretty symmetric appearance in my 2-stack instrument setup already. And I’ve been using this setup for a very long time. Continue reading
Here’s a short video showing how the Carenado C152II Gauges look like in my cockpit setup.
My personal most favorite gauges so far.
Not quite in mood these days since Continue reading
Just created a dual-needles Integrated Oil Gauges for the B60. Surely not a big deal but it at least eliminates 1 device from the original 14 FIP counts.
In addition, Aileron, Elevator and Rudder Trim Wheels and Flaps Indicators are also added to the Vertical Speed gauge as planned.
Existing users will receive Continue reading
Despite little interest received, I just created the engine set for the RealAir Duke B60, which 
totals five gauges, including the Manifold Pressure Indicator, Tachometer, Fuel Flow Indicator and two Integrated Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature & CHT Temperature Indicators, so as to complete the aircraft’s cockpit development.
Since I don’t have 14 FIPs either, Continue reading
There are a few inquiries asking if I will do the engine gauges for the RealAir Duke B60, in particular.
“How many simmers would have 14 FIPs to accommodate the full B60 set in their system?” is really a question. Therefore, the priority of them is very low on my project development list.
Anyway, here’s the artwork of the engine gauges for those who are interested. They may (most likely, should) come one day.
