A320 Stand-By gauges

[jeehell]

Well you can use as many instances of the software you want, and you can use one instance on a dual monitors setup if you want.

If you use it over a network, widefs will do its magic, but the key shortcuts will have to be sent from the computer running the instance.

And you can use it with any acft you wish, its just the look thats is airbus oriented.

Hope I was clear?

After getting the updated download I was able to run the software with no issues, and I think this will be a great addition to my cockpit. It's funnny that you posted this at this time....I was just looking at what choices I had for standby instruments on Tuesday. Great work on these!

Thanks again, keep us posted with any updates!

Very nice work Buddy!!! A lot of Bus guys will love this stuff!!

I only loaded the software, jeehell wrote it for us! .. Not sure it works on FS9 tho... he said it's untested and I don't have it working yet. They sure look great tho!

All right so it's been much quicker than expected, but I found a full description of the electronic standbygauges in an A340 FCOM (uploaded here by Matt O., cheers ).
So in fact it is called ISIS (Integrated Standby Instruments System) and has nice features...
Hope you like it!!

(I've added a screenshot of my next project in the gallery, but you'll have to be patient for that one )

Jeehell,
Added the screen shot to your post, hope you don't mind

After posting the pictures here, I tried to find more information to give you, but unfortunately all three A320 FCOMs I have are for the old standby gauges and the A340 FCOM here was not downloadable for me at that time.

Of course, a great piece of software, thank you! Just a little thing, do you think it is possible to get rid of the frame as well as to only show the instruments you are using and not the small management tool?

Just an idea, not necessary of course, but maybe a nice addition.

This one also looks great, but I hope you know vasFMC and their version 2? They develop open source and are also developing PFD, ND, ECAM, FCU, MCDU, etc. Just take a look at http://vas-project.org/ and maybe write a mail to Alex, he is a kind guy, I know him from the former VACC SAG a bit.

Good luck for your project!

Yes I know Vas FMC, and I actually use it as well, it's really a neat piece of software!!
But I thought that I could make a version which would suit my cockpit hardware better, not that vasfmc can't, or wont, but I can develop my soft- and my hardware on parallel tracks that way. And I think that healthy friendly competition can do only good to both our projects

I just didn't wanted you to run in a situation where you may not know vasFMC, program your software and somewhere in the middle finding out, that most of the work is already done and available.

I think its great to have a choice, not even in the payware market, but also with freeware or open source stuff. I prefer the latter, but I appreciate if one makes his work available for the public even without publishing source and what i see from the screenshots, you are doing very well.

For the parallel development, you are right, that makes some things easier, but maybe others harder. I am currently doing the same with the brake pressure indicator from the A320:

There are a lot of ways to interface with custom flightsim products and they deliver their software and there is also a bunch of hardware from robotic hobbyists, but none was perfect, therefore I decided do design my own PCB and doing the software on my own, the result on the software is of course more flexibility and less overhead.

Again, have fun and good luck with your development.

Jeheel, nice work! The future project looks great too! I wondered if you or anyone else reading this for that matter, could try and run this with fs9..... I have tried and doesn't seem to work. I know you said it was untested with fs9, any chance you would consider adding the compatibility if it's not there now?
