FS9 / FSX Fuel Data and Door Control Gauge
This xml-based gauge is a multi functional instrument which can be used in any engine powered aircraft you like: From a four-engine Boeing 747 to a small single engine helicopter. The gauge consists of two main functions: In mode 1, it displays many fuel parameters including range and remaining flying time, based on current fuel consumption. This mode also contains a timer function. What is unique about this gauge is that it displays the distance you’ve covered so far. This parameter is linked to the timer Start/Stop button and Reset Button. Both parameters are not affected by the time-zone boundaries. The average speed is also displayed and calculated by dividing the covered distance value by the timer value. A simulation rate indicator has also been added. When clicking on it, the simulation rate can be changed. All the parameters remain accurate, also when time acceleration is used. In mode 2, the four door types can be opened and closed. it also displays the status of each door. Many thanks for Mr. N. E. Pike for his great tutorials about making xml gauges! I also want to thank Don Kuhn for his help. By Hans Zuidervaart.
