(See bottom of this file for engine gauges explanations)
1) FCS ALERT PANEL
CONFIG: This alert will show when the aircraft has been put into an illogical configuration. This includes:
a) Speed brake extended with throttle more than 20% advanced.
b) Flaps greater than 15 with climb power (or greater) set.
c) Gear down above 270 kts.
d) Flaps extended above 230 kts.
e) Flaps less than 15, in a descent, at less than 160 kts.
f) Speed less than 135 with the gear up.
g) Flaps greater than 15 with the gear up.
CAUT: This will illuminate when the aircraft stalls or overspeeds.
GS: Comes on if the Nav1 radio is tuned into an ILS fequency and the aircraft is more than 1 tick below the glideslope.
GND PROX: (Revised for FS2002 by V. Sokolov)
Based on real ground reproachment now.
Comes on in those cases:
1. While descend below 2500 feets AGL when ground reproachment (not variometer vertical spees!)
more than -18 m/s at 2500 feets AGL and more than -7.5 m/s at 330 feets AGL (Lineary dependency).
2. In horisontal flight over mountains below 1500 feets AGL when ground reproachment (not variometer vertical spees!) more than -30 m/s at 1500 feets AGL and more than -5 m/s at 200 feets AGL (Lineary dependency)
3. Descending below 800 feets AGL when ground reproachment (not variometer vertical spees!) more than -1.6 m/s
GND PROXY light flashed and periodically interrupted horn.
2) AFCS WARNING GAUGE
This gauge uses different methods to display the autopilot status. If either the Autopilot or the Autothrottle are disconnected, then the associated warning will be displayed, and the red lamp will illuminate. Press the red lamp to cancel the warning, this procedure will also kill the associated warning sound. If the Yaw damper is engaged, the 'Y/D OFF' indication will disappear, and re-appear if disengaged.
3) ENGINE STARTERS AND FUEL CONTROL
The engines cannot be started unless the fuel pump swtiches above them are set to 'ON' (vertical indication). To the right of the starter panel is the fuel control panel. By default, this is normally switched to supply fuel from ALL tanks simultaneously. It allows you to select from which tank you wish to supply the engines. In the 'L-1011-1' panel option, there is no centre tank available in this gauge.
If you have chosen both "Engine stops when out of fuel" from the Aircraft/Settings menu and "Manual fuel control" from the Fuel menu, the OFF setting will cause the engine(s) to stop. The engines will also stop if you choose a tank not available on the aircraft, so ensure that you use the correct verion of the panel for the aircraft.
4) AUTOPILOT
This autopilot has a specially made autothrottle. The 'MACH' hold function when enabled will hold the aircraft at the current MACH number it is travelling at. When IAS mode is selected, the aircraft will hold the speed which is selected in the IAS display. No adjustments can be made to the aircraft's set speed whilst in MACH mode. Although a new airspeed value can be input into the display, it will not be commanded unless the autopilot is in 'IAS' hold mode.
The vertical speed setting is displayed in the form of a tape-style readout instead of a digital readout. The blue area of the tape shows the commanded positive rate of climb in ft/min, the red area being negative (descent). A constant altitude will be held the white line next to the tape is aligned to the '0' line on the tape.
The NAV section of the display has two readouts. The NAV-R feature has not been implemented in this verion, so therefore the course selector by default is NAV-L.
A TOGA button has been added to the right of the autothrottle arm switch, marked 'T/O PWR'.
5) ALTITUDE ALERT
When within 700 and 100 feet of the AP commanded altitude, this sign will illuminate, to alert you that the pre-selected altitude is apporaching, and to ensure that the aircraft settles at that altitude correctly.
6) SPI
The positions of the control surfaces are indicated by small orange markers which run alongside the relevant scale.
There are also small digital elevator trim readouts which diplay the trim in a range of -50 to +50. A reading of '0' being neutral trim.
7) Radios (by V. Sokolov)
Panel now have castom FS2002 style radio (2 Com, Nav1, Nav2 and Active/Standby AFD). Sound switches for radio from Bendix-KingAir.
ENGINES: (Revised for FS2002 by V. Sokolov)
a) EPR - Exhaust pressure ratio.
The EPR gauges have two readouts. The smaller dark red readout at the top displays the EPR bug setting. If the EPR level passes the bug, the readout changes colour to yellow. The bug's position can be adjusted by clicking a mouse-click area on the lower right corner of each EPR gauge. The lower, white readout shows the actual EPR output of the engine, but only the decimal part of the output. The actual output is '1.XXX'. 'XXX' being what is displayed in the readout.
b) N1 - Fan Speed (%)
The digital readout shows the fan speed as a percentage with one decimal place
c) TGT - Turbine Gas Temperature In degrees centigrade. Dial shows Celsius. When TGT more than 700 degree (5 minutes limitation) readout changes colour to yellow and little yellow bar begin flash. Also this yellow bar changes color to red and stop flasing when engine fail.
d) N3 - turbine speed (%). When more than 98.8% (5 minutes limitation) readout changes colour to yellow and little yellow bar begin flash.
e) FF - Fuel flow in pounds per hour x 1000. The readout has two decimal places.
WARNING!!! More than 5 minutes permanently yellow readout on TGT or N3 wil cause sequentially (first random) engines fails. In this case MOMENTARY reduce throttle to avoid other engines fail.
