This gauge is similar to the one found in the Boeing 747 and displays the output of up to 4 engines.

The main gauge shows various outputs like N1, EPR and EGT from the engines and fuel remaining readouts in different formats. There are also visual indicators of the fuel valves in their open or closed states.

 

As the N1 Goes over 100% or the EGT goes over 600deg the bars and the text readouts go red as a warning.

 

Engine starter indictors are also displayed, which start off yellow and go green when N2 > 19 and ready for fuel valves to be opened.

 

Should an engine catch fire there is a visual FIRE warning also on the engine affected.

 

The background colour of the gauge will sync with the colours of my other jets gauges and you can toggle between black and blue backgrounds by pressing [S6]

[S1] Menu Preview Toggle

Press [S1] when in menu to hide menu to preview the changes with menu hidden. Press [S1] again to return to menu.

 

[S6] Gauge Background Colour.

Press S6 to toggle the background colour between black and blue. If you have other jet gauges from fipgauges.com then these will change colour too.

 

[L Dial] Menu value down/up:

When Mini Menu is open use [L Dial] to change the value of the selected menu option.

 

[R Dial] Menu Function Previous/Next:

Used to activate the Mini Menu and scroll between the various menu options.

 

 

Version & Info:

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

 

Aircraft Compatibility Mode:

Switch between SIM and PMDG747 compatibility.

 

Glass Reflection:

Turn left dial clockwise to turn on and counter clockwise to turn off optional glass reflections. This is a global setting so all gauges that have this function will turn on and off in sync.

 

Background Colour:

Turn left dial clockwise or counter clockwise to toggle gauge background colour between black and blue. This also toggles the black/blue background on our other gauges with the same feature so they are in sync.

 

Brightness:

Turn left Dial clockwise to increase gauge brightness and counter clockwise to decrease gauge brightness. This will adjust the brightness of all gauges at the same time.
