  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Automixture Gauge (FS9/FSX)

This small gauge will control the mixture levers whenever they are in a range of 10 to 95% to set a target value of 0.083 for the fuel-air-ratio. The limited mixture lever range enables you to shut down the engine(s) by moving the lever to "idle cutoff" or to use a "full rich" setting for startup or emergencies.

There's also a second variation of the gauge which will switch between "auto rich" (FAR = 0.083) and "auto lean" (FAR = 0.06) with the state of the autopilot's "altitude hold" mode.

Use either variation, but not both.

This gauge is the ideal solution if you don't want to use, or can't use, FSX' "auto mixture" setting, yet have an aircraft that actually has an automatic fuel governor, e.g. the CalClassic propliners.

Made with FS9 in mind and should work in that sim. Works in aircraft with 1 to 4 piston engines.

Got a complaint about the undue autopilot interference, so I've uploaded a new revision. There's only one gauge now with four modes of operation (idle cutoff, auto lean, auto rich, emergency rich) that can be controlled by keystrokes. Key assignments may be altered with a bit of tinkering and the default mixture control keys are still usable. Read the readme!
