    A320 Stand-By gauges

    Hi all,

    I've spent the last few days on a little software project, and I'm now pleased to announce the release of my A320 stand-by gauges!
    This is free of course, since I've never been a big fan of buying big money software that doesn't work the way you want it to work

    enjoy here and please leave any comments, bad or good!!

    if the program asks for rtl60.bpl, try that: here.

    Thanks very much for this generous contribution to our hobby! I am building an A320 cockpit and I will install and test this software ASAP!

    EDIT: I extracted the file and when I try and run it I get an error that says " Unable to locate component, This application has failed to start because rtl60.bpl was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

    Is that file present on your system? If so, where? Make sure it is in the system32 directory in Windows.

    You may find this to amaze you but this will work with an A340 too

    Well it probably will, I named it A320 just because I'm trying to build one, and I looked into the A320 FCOM for reference

    Now that we're talking technical, I've noticed recent A320s do have electronic standby gauges, or at least one which usually represents the attitude indicator and can probably show speed and altitude as well, but I can't find any information on that. If anyone knows how that works, I'll appreciate!

    You are right, they replaced the set of three with a single square LCD and some buttons around (QNH setting knob and RST for 1013hPa, brightness +/-, Localizer indication and a fifth one i think), it looks like a small PFD, with the same allocation of data.

    Here are some pictures of it (I know, bad angles, but I hope it gives you a better view of it):

    Would be great if you are doing this one too, because this is another thing that is not yet modelled by any software and it seems that you are great in doing this. How did you program these gauges (language, dialect, etc.)?

    One dumb question:
    Can I use the chronometer alone on a separate monitor (undockable I suppose?) for a 737?

    Thanks for the info TobiBS, I'll try to investigate further on it, and i'll probably start working on something in a few days/months (don't know yet because it was actually a break in a more advanced A320 software project).
    I used delphi with GLscene components (free open gl component).
