-- F-16 panel for FS2002 --
-- Copyright (C) 2002 Eric Marciano --
This panel was developed by Eric Marciano, based on Peeters Johan's F-16 panel (f16pnljp.zip).
Some new gauges have been developed by Eric Marciano and were included in this panel:
* The HUD gauges with adjustable brightness:
It is a complete HUD, showing all the necessary flight information (airspeed in knots and
Mach, altitude, ground speed, radio altitude), plus information about the target selected
on the radar (speed, altitude and distance).
The brightness can be adjusted with 4 settings. This is very useful to fly at night or in
blue shiny sky. You will always be able to read information displayed on the HUD.
* The Radar gauge:
This is a completely new radar gauge. It requires Pete Downson's FSUIPC version 2.83 or higher.
It works with the traffic information provided by FSUIPC. It shows all the surrounding aircrafts
managed by FS2002 AI. You can select an aircraft (your target) by clicking it. The radar will
then show information about the target:
- ID (Tail number of flight name)
- Speed (ground speed)
- Altitude in FL (ASL)
- Vertical speed (in feet/minute)
- Distance
The radar has 3 modes and adjustable range. For more information, please refer to Radar_doc.gif.
This will allow you to make fantastic interceptions or escorts of airliners.
Note: To have the best information display, I suggest that you configure FSUIPC to display only
the tail number as target ID. To do this, edit FSUIPC.ini (located in your 'Modules'
directory) and change the line TCASid=... to TCASid=Tail
To have more information about this panel usage, please refer to the 'doc' directory of the panel.
You will find 2 pictures which explain all the new features of the panel and all the features
of the radar.
