Garmin G1000 style Primary Flight Display (PFD) gauge. I tried to keep this as realistic as possible within the limitations of the small FIP screens. It has most of the stuff you would expect to see like Attitude, Speed, Altitude, Vertical Speed, Flight Director, Heading, Glide slope etc.

 

QNH setting can be adjusted using the right dial and you can switch from HG to MB by pressing [S1]. You can change the transparency of the Gauge Speed and Altitude bars by cycling through 4 different shades.

 

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.
