Collins Radio Gauges V 1.0
Complete Set COM/NAV1/NAV2/ADF/XPDR of Radios in the older Collins Style + Slave DME´s.
HGHB_DME_1 and HGHB_DME_2 are fully working freeware
The full version including the dual DME is available on our website.
Usage and description
COM1 : You can change the active frequency as usual at the frequency readout
You can also dial at the button up/down thru the full range
Clicking in the middle of the button switches the increment value to
25 Kc , but only for the button up/down function.
The standard changing on the readout will still use the settings from
the preferences.
Change the standby frequency at the readout, here the knob in/out also
changes 50/25 kc. It is possible to dial a 25kc frequency also if the
preferences are set for 50kc.
NAV1/2: Change the active frequency as usual at the readout, or with full range
tuning at the knob. Also you may change the standby frequency at the
readout.
ADF : Change the active frequency as usual at the readout, or with full range
tuning at the knob. Also you may change the standby frequency at the
readout. In addition to the standard you may not only increase but also
decrease any number. At the Standy frequency yaou can also change the
1000 and the decinal number, when 100hz ADF is active from the prefs.
The extended ADF functionalities are ONLY available when the FS-Patch
( FSPATCH1.EXE ) from Microsoft is installed. On other Systems only
the standard functions of the ADF are working !
XPDR :The full version also allows the decrease every digit with mouse clicks,
below the increment positions. This feature is disabled in the free version.
Generic Switches with Lights
This Switch and it´s lights are separate
gauges. The lights may be placed apart from
the switches. The switch is just a fake switch
that has no function at all, except switching
the light on/off.Also this little switch remembers
its position thru FS98 sessions....
The light gauges may be used alone or together to show the
state of the switch.
By Hex-Editing, it´s possible to create many other switches
and lights from this one.
Example :
Using any Hex-Editor, look for the string SWT00001 and change it
to another string like SWT01002. Doe this in both the light and
the switch. Then the switch will influence this light
( and all other lights using this Token )
Also the position of this switch is remebered individually
under this Token.
There are two example lights , each having a different bitmap size.
Fake Switches gauges
V 1.0
The gauges may be used within panels, where a switch is optically
needed but no real function is desired .
( YES , some designers wanted such switches )
