L049 Modified Clipboard

Post by WB_FlashOver »

Hello Connie drivers.
I have been working on a modified clipboard for the Connie. I've made several flights with it and it works well. It is very condensed and compact out of design. Opening lots of 2D windows tends to effect performance on some systems and I don't like having a bunch of windows open anyway.

So, here is a screenshot of it and a .rar file to download with instructions to install it. I know it may not be for everyone but I have enjoyed it so far. There are also some "Fun Facts" included. Please open and read the README and follow installation instruction.

Thanks Hook and CAPFlyer. So far it's working good here but we all know how that goes when you start using on multiple systems. I don't fly with the map but have to open it up as soon as the cabin starts to shake rattle & roll from turbulence. I do fly with the clipboard open the entire flight so now I have access to 'almost' full Q & A with my crew.

Cheers
Roger

So the clipboard is for information that you could ask your crew for. I even thought of leaving the power settings off because I, as the captain, should know those. I wanted to make the clipboard as small as possible yet get what I could on it.

The airspeed indicator has flap and gear speeds on it so I can't see cluttering up the clipboard with that data. By the way the advertised gear speed of 146 is MPH. 126 Knots, the solid arch, is your gear extension speed with landing lights just below that at 124 knots or thereabouts. Going off memory on that one.

So I guess my answer is that at this time I won't be adding those items.

Thanks for your interest in this.

Roger

It's great to see mods like this, allowing you to look deeper into the systems and engines to just give more feedback and immersion. Nice work.

Thanks Scott. It's fantastic that we are able to look into the inner workings of A2A aircraft and retrieve the data. :a2a: 8) :a2awhite: 8)

Hello Again Connie Pilots,

Today I just discovered that my clipboard was reporting incorrectly on the carburetor icing conditions. I have fixed this and the original link will get you the new clipboard.

Happy New Year
Roger
