Matt's Multi-Mission Military Flight Simulator
A more capable aircraft clock was acquired that has the capability to display elapsed time (enabled by the weight-on-wheels relay), local time and GMT time. It was a form-fit replacement for the analog clock that formerly resided in the same position.

To augment the F-15 fuel indicator, a fuel transfer indicator from a B-1 bomber was installed. The generic outline of the aircraft on the indicator is in line with the multi-mission aspect of my sim, which mirrors no specific aircraft. As fuel is depleted, the individual green flags vanish until a fuel-critical situation exists in which case the proper bingo or fuel low warnings are generated. Soon the selections on the main fuel indicator will affect the sequence of green flags on the fuel transfer indicator on the right. Above the fuel transfer indicator are protected buttons to activate the fuel dump function.



The ADI was replaced... AGAIN. This new version adds more needles and flags than the previous ADI, which was from a C-141 Starlifter. Prior to that ADI, a 3 axis ADI, like what was used in the F-4, was employed.

This new ADI provides the same rising runway indication, but now speed (AOA data) is provided to the left needle and LOC signals move the runway symbol at the bottom.

I removed the turn and slip indicator from the front of the indicator since that function can be properly displayed on one of the sim's MFDs in ADI mode.


The HSI was replaced as well with a superior unit that has the capability to display modes via lights built into the face of the indicator. The message lights were originally red, but I relamped them to green to avoid confusion with caution lights.

The unit retains the same capabilities of the former unit, such as computer remote control of heading and course settings, distance readout, dual bearing pointers and course deviation.
