This is a 5 page gauge created to opperate all the lighting functions of the MSFS PMDG 737-x00

The gauge has 31 function and is distributed over 5 pages. Pages change automatically when making selection above or below those shown on the current page or you and use the [Sx] Buttons to go directly the the page required.

 

Pages:

[S2] Page 1: External aircraft lighting control.

[S3] Page 2: Pilot main panel controls.

[S4] Page 3: Pilot panel secondard controls for Main, Pedistal and Overhead lighting.

[S5] Page 4: First officer main panel controls.

[S6] Page 5: Pilot and first officer map and chart lighting controls.

[S1] Mini Menu:

This is used to activate/deactivate the Mini Menu as the [R Dail] is used for gauge functions

 

[S2] Page 1:

Pressing [S2] goes to external aircraft lighting control.

 

[S3] Page 2:

Pressing [S3] goes to pilot main panel controls.

 

[S4] Page 3:

Pressing [S4] goes to pilot panel secondard controls for Main, Pedistal and Overhead lighting.

  

[S5] Page 4:

Pressing [S5] goes to first officer main panel controls.

 

[S6] Page 5 and Menu Virtual Power Toggle:

Pressing [S6] goes to pilot and first officer map and chart lighting controls. In menu [S6] is also used to toggle virtual power function on/off

 

[L Dial] Change highlighted control or menu value

 

[R Dial] Increment or decrement control selection or menu page

 

Version & Info:

Turn left dial clockwise to turn on and counter clockwise to turn off current version number and other useful links.

 

Highlight Colour:

This menu option allows you to control the colour of the control selector highlight. Colouirs include Blue, Yellow, Green, Red and White.

 

Highlight Timeout:

Set number of inactive seconds for auto hide control highlight.

 

Glass Reflection:
