FS2004 Simulated Aircraft Sun Compass

(c) 2009, Freeware. Alexander Belov

There is a considerable field for astronomical navigation. When there are no radio navigation aids, and magnetic compass is unusable due to high and fast changing magnetic variation, the astronomical navigation method is the only one possible. Sun compass is one of the simplest astronomical instrument.

Вещь хорошая, полезная, только кольцо курсов в диапазоне где-то от 30 до 300 довоьно сильно коробит, некрасиво, а подчас и трудно читать показание. Nikdunaev, 14 years ago, #
Искажения появляются из-за ограничения точности тригонометрических вычислений в XML-приборах. Когда разрабатывался прибор, еще не умел "резать" битмапки для улучшения отрисовки и уменьшения искажений. Alexander Belov, 14 years ago, #

Now I am (in the branch "Corner polar" I invited the beta testers) astronomical compass. It allows you to navigate by the sun and stars, the resulting transfer rate of GIC. Sun compass like this one (the so-called "shadow" type), we have not been used. In 1936 for flight on the PFI and the return was made "matchlock" - a graduated circle with a gnomon, but it was an improvisation Akkuratova. Alexander Belov, 16 years ago, #

Good thing. Петр, 16 years ago, #
In fact, this device was used on old planes. For example, using him to fly to both poles (and North and South), Richard Byrd. Installation - like any other instrument. *. CAB - file is copied to a folder GAUGES simulator, and file panel.cfg add a new panel. So for example: ---------------------- cut line [WindowXX] Background_color = 0,0,0 size_mm = 800,600 window_size_ratio = 1.000 position = 0 visible = 0 ident = 20 gauge00 = sun_compass! Sun_Compass, 50,50,450,450 ---------------------- cut here line XX - number of panels in the file. Entry in the header panel.cfg also not forget. And what this device is needed - read the description (PDF-file whose name ends there is attached, in Russian). Alexander Belov, 16 years ago, #
