724: Multi-Shared RPM Updated

After the recent SU5 update, the Flaps Indicator in the Multi-Shared RPM Extended version doesn’t work as usual sometimes.  It’s been fixed in the R1r01 update.

711: M20R Engine Gauges Now Get Straight

The original layouts I developed for the Carenado M20R Ovation Engine Gauges were based on a stack usage, allowing one to be placed on top of the other. However, from time to time, I couldn’t help thinking the single-row design on the M20R is nice too.

So here comes the extension set using the single-row design at last.  MSFS_M20R_ENG_DUAL
In addition, animation for the Continue reading

710: Four More B58 Gauges Get Updated

Following the RMI update released last week, the ALT, ATT, HSI and VSI of the default B58 (not the Carenado version) in FSX/P3D have also been updated to version R4r04, allowing users to install them into MSFS environment as well.

Similarly, except the new installer, functions of the gauges remain the same. Continue reading

707: B58 RMI Gauge Gets Slimmer

The RMI Gauge for the default B58 in FSX/P3D has been updated to version R4r04, which can be installed into MSFS environment.

Other than the new installation option, the changes is mainly cosmetic, making it slimmer.  Function-wise, it is the same.

Although the original version looks more closely to the one in the virtual cockpit on the default B58, the new version has better proportions as a whole, which looks prettier to my eyes.

Therefore, Continue reading

698: Aerolite 103 Bundle Gauges

The Aircreation SL582 in FSX/P3D was one of my favorite aircraft since I like low and slow VFRs.  In MSFS, I prefer the Aerolite 103 by Nemeth Designs over it for similar flights.  In particular, the dynamic rotary-style ADF and ADF Signal Reception Features are fun and useful.

692: USB 2.0 is no longer preferred

In the old days with FSX/P3D, USB 2.0 was my preferred choice (see Post 582) when connecting Saitek/Logitech Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs) to the simulators.

Since I replaced my older computer for MSFS in last November, I’ve been deliberately avoiding to use any more USB 2.0 ports and hubs.  Now all my 12 FIPs are connected to the system via a powered USB 3.0 hub.USB3_FIP_resize

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
