shows respectively the distance (in nautical
miles) to the chosen NAV station, the speed
(in knots) and the estimated time to arrival
(in minutes)
The display can be mounted through a panel and
connects through the GSA-55 interface with FS.

High customization level
28/05/2009
Marcel Felde is one of our most enthusiastic
customers. He owns a full Dornier 27 shell and
has customized most of the gauges to fit the
panel. He used both standard Flight illusion
gauges or generic gauges which he modified to
suit his needs.
Take a look at his conntribution as he explains
how he proceeded to modify the existing gauges
from his panel to have perfectly working gauges
that could connect to Flight Simulator.

Production
changing to white backlighting
13/04/2009
As quality, price/performance and intensity
of white LEDs has seriously improved over the
last period, Flight Illusion will shift from
the standard Yellow backlight of its gauges
to White.
Many plates have colored sections which look
much better when lighted with white light. Apart
from that the backlight color in real aircrafts
is mainly White as in general light bulbs are
used.
For those customers that want
to have yellow backlight on new orders ( because
of compatibility with already purchased gauges)
this will remain possible for a period of time.
But by default the backlight color will switch
to white from 1st of May on .

new
drivers for USB to COM interface.
13/03/2009
Our software runs in fact through a serial port
which is virtually created by a USB port. To
do this, you need to install a VCP driver from
the chip manufacturer. Virtual COM port (VCP)
drivers cause the USB device to appear as an
additional COM port available to the PC. Our
application software accesses the USB device
in the same way as it would access a standard
COM port.
Vista users had some problems with the existing
drivers. Hence we advice to check on the page
link below to download the appropriate driver
according to your PC operating system.
