Gerry,
A few thoughts on your Vspeed gauge -
Element 1 - An activate button, when mouse clicked by the user the gauge
becomes active and the rest of it becomes visible.
Element 2 - A recalculate button. The idea is that when the gauge is
activated the Vspeeds are calculated, then a flag is set to avoid a recalc on
every
cycle. However, if the user has e.g. reset the fuel load, then they need to
do a recalc. Pressing this button will unset the flag,
Element 3 - A flaps warning light - illuminated if an incorrect flap setting
is in operation.
Element 4 - A weight warning light - illuminated if overweight.
Elements 5 - 7 The legends "V1", "VR" and "V2"
Elements 8 - 10 The VSpeed values
Elements 11 - 13 Lights the illuminate when the goundspeed => Vspeed
Layout something like -
A R F W V1 xxx.x L
VR xxx.x L
V2 xxx.x L
Where A is the activate button, R is the recalc button, F and W are the
warning lights, and L are the spped reached lights.
Does that all make sense?
