Now updated for fs9/2004.

Have you ever wanted to fly tasks, contests or certificate flights in some of the wonderful antique glider models which are available (for example any of Wolfgang Piper's creations)? Maybe you simply would like to have an audio variometer and a log of your flight? Ah, but you're not willing to mar the impeccable instrument panel to get it! Well, now you can have your cake and eat it too.

Here is a simple little pop-up panel which you can add easily to any plane allowing you to have access to a full CAI set, and hide it when you want to as well. It comes with sixteen background bitmaps to suit different cockpits be they metal, wood or composite so the new panel should look right at home in practically any plane. The panel can be dragged around to fit wherever it fits best. After starting the L-Nav and GPS-Nav, the panel can be hidden as often as you like. The flight log and audio vario will continue even though the instruments are out of sight.

Latest version now includes subtle shadows under the gauges which are not shown in these cockpit screenshots, but can just be seen in the collage of all sixteen variations.

Version 1.3 is intended only for fs9/2004. For fs2k2 use version 1.2.

(Requires Max Roodveldt's CAI gauges (fs9 versions available in his Grob Astir CS installation. 2k2 versions available in a separate zip.))
