FS2004 GPS Map View Gauge v2.0 The ultimate gauge. The Map will show: Airports details (Runways ID's, length & ILS), VOR's and NDB's frequencies, Intersections and waypoints, Airspaces, Approaches and flight routes. You can toggle the view you require for your flight. Also you can zoom in/out to see the nearest airports, vor's and ndb's. The map will indicate A/C heading flightplan title and waypoints ID's. Version 2 includes more enhancements such as the ability to input the ICAO code of any airport and the map will show all the frequencies of that airport including ATIS, ILS, AND COM. In addition, the map will show the active runway designations, length and width. INSTALLATION: Just Unzip (Talal's Map20.zip) into the gauge folder of your fs9. The cab file Talal06.cab has (3) three gauges inside: Talal's Map.xml Talal-Control.xml Icon_Tm.xml Add to one of your favorite panels as follows: / This Panel.cfg file created by FS Panel Studio panel editor utility - http://www.fspanelstudio.com // Built Wednesday, August 03, 2005 at 01:31 FSPS Build:15988 [Window Titles] Window00=Main panel Window01=Overhead panel Window02=gps Window03=Radar | | | Windowxx=Talal's Map View [VIEWS] | | //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window00] | | | gaugexx=Talal06!Talal-Control, 0,0,12,12 //<---------------Note-------------- gaugexx=Talal06!Icon_TM, x,y,19,19 //<---------------Note---(x,y)------ //-------------------------------------------------------- [Windowxx] //<---------------Note----(xx)------ size_mm=400,420 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=8 visible=0 ident=7077 window_size= 0.960, 0.960 window_pos= 0.008, 0.025 gauge00=Talal06!Talal's Map, 0,0,400,400 //<---------------Note-------------- gauge01=Talal06!Icon_TM, 380,401,19,19 //<---------------Note-------------- Usage: Just click on the the item you want to display on the map or zoom in or out to see more airports, vor's, ndb's, intersections and/or airspaces Place the cursor on various areas of the gauge to see tool tips.
