Turn Indicatordis_turnindicator.png

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

The first connected variable is the plane roll angle, the second connected variable is the plane horizontal acceleration. The roll angle can be specified either in degrees or radians. The horizontal acceleration must be specified in g (9.81 m/s^2).
