Attitude Indicatordis_attitudeindicator.png

Displays two connected variables representing a plane’s attitude as an attitude indicator.

The first connected variable is the plane pitch, the second connected variable is the plane roll angle. The angles can be specified either in degrees or radians.

Indicator Dimensions

Indicator Top/Left Corner

Position of the top left corner of the circular gauge within the widget. This is specified as a comma separated pair of values: x,y.

Indicator Size/Radius

Radius in pixels of the indicator.

Units

Units (Degrees or Radians) of the connected variable.

Shape

Shape of the indicator (round or square).

Visual Properties attitudeindicatorprop2.png

Ticks

Number of major ticks along the circle.

Minor Ticks

Number of minor ticks between the major ticks.

Wings Width

Width in pixels of the plane virtual wings.

Ring Width

Width in pixels of the static ring on the indicator outer edge.

Tick Length

Length in pixels of the major ticks that indicate the plane pitch angle. Minor ticks half this size.

Background

Image File

File image to display in the background of the widget.

Fonts

Expected Pitch Range

Maximum Value

Maximum expected value of the connected pitch variable. This value corresponds to the range between the horizon and the highest position on the circle.

Minimum Value

Minimum expected value of the connected pitch variable. This value corresponds to the range between the horizon and the lowest position on the circle.

Invert Pitch

Invert the connected pitch variable before using it to calculate the indicator position.

Invert Roll

Invert the connected roll variable before using it to calculate the indicator position.
