Minimum Voltage Variable:

 

You can now set a global variable (FG_GLOBAL_MIN_VOLTAGE) which interacts with all my General Aviation Gauges. When the Voltage on the Aircraft Voltage Bus drop to or below the value you set set all electronics switch off on all my gauges.

 

The default 0 means it will only switch off when there is zero voltage. If you want the powered electronics to turn off on low voltage then set the voltage value and if the bus voltage drops to equal or below the set voltage then everything switches off.

Version & Info:

Turn left dial clockwise to turn on and counter clockwise to turn off current version number and other useful links.

 

Set Off Voltage:

This allows you to edit the gauge global voltage minimum before electrical function turn off.

 

Aircraft (Compatibility Mode):

Switch between SIM and PMDG 737 compatibility (Not NGGGGXu).

  

Glass Reflection:

Turn left dial clockwise to turn on and counter clockwise to turn off optional glass reflections. This is a global setting so all gauges that have this function will turn on and off.

 

Brightness:

Turn left Dial clockwise to increase gauge brightness and counter clockwise to decrease gauge brightness. This will adjust the brightness of all gauges at the same time.
