GAUGE: Slew World - Repositioning Gauge
Gauge v1.4.003 - Current Version Jan 2022

Features:
PARTLY MSFS 2020 COMPATIBLE - SEE BELOW FOR INFO
 
1) World Map re-positioning
2) Zoom Map for more accurate positioning
3) Slew Control Page Hold [S1] to access
4) Slew Heading in Map Modes
5) Toggle Plane or Cross Hairs
6) Stop / Start
7) Ground Height Displayed
8) Altitude Displayed
9) Automatic Dial acceleration
 
Fully compatible with FSX and P3D
 
For INFO this gauge contain one 2k and one 8k map, the gauge is 90mb which is huge for a fip gauge and as a result it does take a few seconds to load and also take a while to index in SPAD so please be patient. The three maps are fixed resoluition scrolling maps and you can not zoom in/out freely, FIPs are seriously limited code wise, is amazing it can scroll an 8k image at all.
 
MSFS COMPATIBILITY:
 
What Works in MSFS:
Global map
2 moving maps
aircraft long/lat repositioning all works :-)
Plane rotation
Flight Mode Altitude & Heading
Daylight Follow the Sun
Custom Sea Colours
 
What Doesn't Work in MSFS:
Slew Controls Page, no slew Actions work. This is because Asobo have disabled Slew Control for now.
Flight Mode no Slew forward or backward
 
As most customers purchase this for global re-positioning over slew control it is very functional in that respect.
