Hello. 

Nick Sharmanzhinov is releasing these two FSX C++ projects into
the Public Domain. The first is the source code for a set of 2d
gauges and VC gauges for a Yak-40 aircraft panel.

The second is the source code for a KLN-90B GPS including SIDs and STARs.

Yellow background text was added to clarify the terms of distribution.

I've got no coding knowledge at all but this looks like quite a gift to the community  :Applause:

It's January 2015 and I can't believe I am just finding this.  A hearty Thank You - (would that be спасибо?) to the creators who put this out for the community and all those who helped (Bill, I think you were involved?).

 

Anyway, I always had perverse love for the KLN90B.  When Project Tupolev made the KLN90B FSX compatible I pulled it out and stuck it into a number of my airplanes.  (Any airplane introduced after 1989 I consider too modern for my tastes.  A retro GPS is the only way to go for a retro airplane - none of this modern colored moving map stuff!)

 

But it has some frustrations and little problems.  Not to mention no docs that I could find except the real KLN90B manual.  No mention of how, for example, to turn the knobs (how long did it take to figure out that mouse wheel does the inner and right-click does the outer?).

 

Now those problems can be fixed!  And I intend to do it.  Right now I'm deeply involved in the project to add contracts to FSCaptain, but when I get that done (or get tired of it and need a break) I'll mess with this.  Basically in order of priority:

 

1.  Move the text up so the last line doesn't get chopped off.

2.  Get a clearer background image of the KLN90B.

3.  Make a hidden click spot to load the FS flight plan to page zero and get rid of the add-on menu.

4.  Use the NAV/GPS signal to decide whether to drive the AP heading from the KLN90B.

5.  Add the ILS frequencies to the airport page 4 list.

6.  Implement the ALT button.

 

Anything else anyone interested would like to see? 

 

I'll publish it to AvSim with the improvements - just no promise on when, okay?

Amazing work from Dutch.
