755: C172 Gauge 22-01 Updates

Due to recent MSFS updates, many of my FIP gauges need to be revised accordingly.

For example, the VOR2 of the C172 has been changed completely to an appearance similar to the Multi-Shared VOR1 that is used on the aircraft but with lesser features, such as no glideslope, etc.

In addition, the Ground Speed on the Extended Version of the ASI has to be revised to reflect the change in the MSFS update.

Besides, the C172 HDG, plus the Multi-Shared ALT, RPM, VOR1 and RPM used on the aircraft are updated accordingly with improved graphics rendering as well.

Furthermore, Continue reading

754: GENERIC G5 HSI R4 Major Update

The GENERIC G5 HSI has been updated to Revision 4.

One of the major improvements in the update is the addition of a new VOR2 version, so as to better match with the operations on the aircraft equipped with the G1000 in MSFS 2020.

In addition, virtually all images of the new HSI are recreated with enhanced graphics rendering.  The results are positive, which are especially beneficial to all users who runs their Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs) with the default Logitech MSFS plugins.

Here’s a short video showing the new GENERIC G5 HSI switching between VOR1, VOR2 and GPS modes:

Users of the G5 HSI please be noted that the new R4 Continue reading

753: New Multi-Shared Gauges

Two new Multi-Shared Gauges are added to the FIP collection for the MSFS default airplane lines. MSFS_MS_MFP_JPG_resize

The first one is the Manifold Pressure-Fuel Flow combo that is used on the Aviat Pitts Special S2S and Robin Cap 10C.

The second is the gMeter, which comes with three different versions to suit the variation in style of the instrument on the Aviat Pitts Special S1S, S2S, Robin Cap 10C and Extra 330LT.MSFS_MS_GMTR
The instrument is found on some of the aircraft (standard & custom) in the Reno package as well.

750: Ground Speed Display Fix

After the recent MSFS update, the Ground Speed Display on my MSFS FIP gauges no longer works. There are 3 types of instrument affected:

ASI Extended Versions of ALL aircraft
– Generic G5 HSI
– Generic G5 PFD

To fix the issue, one simply needs to change a command from
(A:GPS GROUND SPEED, knots) to (A:GPS GROUND SPEED) in the affected gauges.

Here’s how to do it: Continue reading

747: Multi-Shared ATT Updated

The adjustment of the artificial aircraft on the Multi-shared Attitude Indicator via the knobs on the FIP was inverted since the last few MSFS updates.

Just spotted the bug recently and have it corrected to R1r03 so as to match with the one in the virtual cockpit again.

746: Landing Gear, Landing Gear

Have been revising many of my gauges lately.  Here’s another two of them which now come with enhanced landing gear indicators.

The first is the RPM of the Just Flight PA28R Arrow III and Turbo III/IV.  The new landing gear indicators on the left now take the comprehensive Gear Unsafe & Gear N-L-R style from the aircraft, rather than the simple one used on the right in the last version released in September, which took from the M20R.

The landing gear indicators on the Carenado M20R Engine Cluster also updated to simulate the up-down movements of the indicators on the aircraft as well.

In addition, Continue reading

745: C152/A ENG FUEL QTY CORRECTED

A new C152/A Engine Cluster user, Roland Duhme, just pointed out to me that the Fuel Quantity Indicators MSFS_C152_ENG_GIFSis unclear and incorrect on the Asobo airplane, which I carried forward to my gauge.

He said there’s no C152 has 100 LBS fuel capacity so the upper scale should be in percentage but there’s not a “%” mark for it.  In addition, the fuel quantity in GAL in the lower scale for the two tanks are 14 gallons each instead of 18 as show in the cockpit.

Good point.  Even though I realized the marking a bit strange when I was developing the gauge, I just put it is what it is in the C152/A Engine. Continue reading
