Good Morning all;
The "Reckless Modifier" strikes again.
After I fixed the CRJ MFD, I got spoiled by all the info that it includes...I like knowing the outside air temp (Static Air Temp or SAT) and True Airspeed at the very least. I found that the displays on the 737, 747 and Lear45 leave out one or both of these pieces of information, so I created a little fix for it. The files in the zip at http://flywestwind.com/communityserver/files/folders/uploads/entry19031.aspx add the following features:
1) The edited B737-800.cab file changes the EICAS to display Static Air Temperature instead of Total Air Temperature. SAT is a calculated ambient temperature for jets at high speeds, and is a more useful number to know than TAT.
2) The TempSpeed.cab and the revised panel.cfg files for the B747 and Lear45 add a pop-up window in the lower right corner that displays the following info: Time(UTC), TAS, GS, SAT & TAT. Just hit Shift+8 or Shift+2 respectively.
Install instructions and a 747 screenshot are included.
I hope you enjoy it up there above FL180!
