V-One Gauge for Milviz 737-200

Post by fsxpaul » Fri Mar 14, 2014 6:37 pm

The gauge is now available in the Avsim Library!

Search for: V-One Gauge for Milviz Boeing 737-200


Update to Install: 2. Copy the contents from the ZIP file folder 'sound\B737' and paste into ..\..\Milviz Boeing 737-200\sound\B737

======
FILES:
======
SND160 through SND200

(Total of 41 files!)

This gauge has many sounds and useful features for your flying enjoyment.
I have a couple of little changes to make before making this gauge available.

Here's a video of a short flight demonstrating the sounds:
http://youtu.be/AkUsXMMKaec

List of features:
• Approximately 40 sounds integrated into gauge.
• Take-off V-Speeds calculated for Flaps 2, 5, 10, 15 or 25 which includes temperature and altitude correction.
• Take-off speed bugs and command speed bug automatically set for: V1, Vr, V2, V2 + 15 and
flaps-up maneuvering speed (clean speed).
• Optimum altitude and optimum EPR (EPR calc for M.74) are continually calculated.
• Flap mis-configuration is displayed in ‘red’ text. Tooltip indicates overweight value (LB/KG).
• Take-off trim calculated for current gross weight.
• Current Altitude, EPR, Speed (knts), Flaps and Trim displays via toggle.
• Display units can be toggled between LB and KG (default LB).
• Re-settable flight timer.
• Re-settable fuel use.
• Selectable Vref landing configurations, Vref15, Vref30 (default) or Vref40.
• Approach / landing speed bugs and Command speed bug automatically set for: Vref, Vref + 5,
Vref + 15 and flaps-up maneuvering speed (clean speed).
• ZFW, Fuel, CG, Gross Weight and Barometric Pressure MSL (QNH) displayed.

Keep in mind though that the EPR that we generate is more in line with what the thrust output is than what FSX comes up with.

Understood, and I agree 100%.

This gauge is using your EPR value. I have painstakingly calibrated this gauge to ensure the Optimum altitude matches the Optimum EPR.

I used AFSD 4.31 to validate 0-20 lbs excess thrust at Optimum Altitude.

Well FxPaul, your gauge made another developers plane useable, I can only imagine how great it will add to the Milviz experience.

Thanks very much for the compliment!

Oh, I forgot to mention that this gauge is freeware! :D

I'm doing some checks after the v3.0 release. Shouldn't be too long now.

Really great job, thank you very much!

This is a very useful gauge that calculates your v-speeds (for your chosen flaps), v-ref speeds (for various flap settings), trim, sets your speed bugs, advises your of your EPR setting, and much more.

Not only that, but it also speaks to you, with 80kt calls, v-speed calls, flaps, slats etc!

And it's easy enough to install.

Thanks again!

Fabio

Thanks very much!

I use the gauge constantly when I fly the 737 :D

Also, the DataCard does not need to be open to play the sounds.

Another feature... when setting pressure by pressing the 'B' key, the call-out 'Barometer Set' will be played.

Very nice and useful.

How do you compute the Trim settings for takeoff?

Thanks a lot.
