Now here's a dinky little device...

....that indicates many of your aircraft's important parameters at a single glance....

...instead of having to scan the whole of the instrument panel!

(Even something that would be useful in our Flight Simulator!)

Very neat, I thought!

The text is too small. I wouldn't be able to read the dials in my VC.

Its fine in a real aircraft, (where it is aimed at), fitting into a standard 3-1/8" diameter hole in the instrument panel.

Pilots have normally got good eyesight... ;) ..!

(In the flight sim the instrument can be expanded in size to suit....FS Panel Studio).

Paul... :D ..!

Fair enough. That being said, I'd spring for the full Aspen Evolution 2500 avionics package.

There is a very similar Gauge that's available for FlightSim... it's part of the Instrument Panel for the FS 9 version of the Rutan Boomerang. It mimics the JPI EDM900 Primary Display:

If you have FS Panel Studio one could conceivably cannibalize that Gauge and use it in another Panel...

You are a 'lil darlin', Alan!!..... :dance: ...!

Downloaded it.

Fantastic!......(I have FS Panel Studio).

The EDM 900 gauge displays some of the the most important parameters which I like to observe in all my Piston Prop aeroplanes, eg:

Engine speed. [RPM].
Manifold Pressure. [MP].
Cylinder Head Temperature. [CHT].
Exhaust Gas Temperature [EGT].

(They are all separate gauges on my normal Analogue Panels).

That EDM 900 gauge displays all those parameters at a single glance!

Many thank, Alan!

Paul....Exhaust Gas....(Baked Beans for Supper last night!).... :o ...!

Paul,

Very glad the EDM900 suits your needs! The rest of the airplane isn't too bad, either.

If you want a unique twin with great speed and even greater range, this is it.

Take her for a spin; you'll be glad you did!!

:D
