FSX Popup Approach gauges
This popup gauge set will help on final approaches by allowing you to monitor altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, AGL radar altimeter, and keep an eye on the glide slope without having to look in the cockpit. I made this so I wouldn’t need a 50% or less cockpit view while on approach in some aircraft to keep an eye on the gauges and glide slope. The Airspeed gauge was chosen because below 10,000 ft, max speed is 250 kts, and the gauge max speed is 240 Kts. It will help you monitor your airspeed below 10,000 if the gauge is pegged pass 240 kts. I also chose it because the green band ends around 160 KTS and that would be max approach speed for MOST aircraft, and the yellow band begins at 160 kts and ends at 220 kts, and those would be max speeds for most aircraft when dropping gear and flaps. So the gauge suits my purpose well. However, we all know each aircraft is specific. The AGL radar altimeter is great for flaring over the runway and cutting power, and has 5 foot increments for flawless touchdowns. It will also warn if the gear is up when the AGL kicks in. Radar Altimeter gauge is by Pierre FASSEAUX, and his read me, and all gauge documentation are included in this zip file. Nice gauge! The other gauges are default FSX Extra 300 gauges. Freeware, enjoy!
