Nimbus UH-1H gauges

#1 Post by HeliEngineer »

I've been playing with these for a while. Thought I should get around to uploading them. Hopefully someone else can get some use out of them. They are only written with the X-Plane Nimbus Huey datarefs.

Yeah, they do take a bit of work. It's not too bad after you have drawn up the first one though. The only difference between most of the gauges it the markings on the back plate, and some of the needles. The coding is mostly copy and paste, with slight changes to the needle movement calculations. I did this VSI gauge in about 30 mins.

I have done all of the gauges so that you can change the instrument panel colour from black to grey, or turn it off all together and use your own back ground of choice. The bezel, screws, and light posts can be added or removed too. The ASI, VSI, and dual tach can be flush, or front mounted. It was a good exercise in trying out a few more of the LUA functions.
