This is our trim control and display gauge. It's primary function is to display trim positions and show various outputs from both Airplanes and Helicopters. You can also adjust the trims using tha gauge.

 

On the Airplane trim page the right dial is used to select the trim you want to adjust and the left dial is user to adjust the selected trim. There is a green button indicator in the relevant trim section showing if its selected.

 

On the Helicopter trim page the right dial changes the Latitudal Trim and the left dial adjusts the Longitudual Trim (done this way as there are only two trims and no need for separate selection)

 

On the Functions page no functions can be interacted with and are purely for output display of those functions

Version & Info:

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

 

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.

 

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.
