This gauge will switch off automatically when the aircraft bus voltage drops to zero or if the aircraft bus voltage drops below FG_GLOBAL_MIN_VOLTAGE value if set.

For FBW compatibility I have created some code snippets https://fipgauges.com/download/FBW_Gauge_Snippets.zip

 

The snippet files are named after the gauge filename they relate to and the buttons they should be pasted to. Do not attempt to use snippets on different gauges other then the gauge filename shown and MUST be pasted to the button or dial indicated in the snippet file name.
