Hey guys!

 

I hope this is the right forum for this...if it isn't please excuse my fault!

 

 

Just got one simple question:

 

Is it possible to display the actual MACH speed in the red infotext?

I'd like to have both IAS/MACH shown together....

 

Thanks in advance!

Shift-Z is customized using the TextInfo sections of fsx.cfg as described here:

However I don't see anything in this facility to display airspeed as both Mach and IAS.

 

There is a TextInfo replacement gauge in the library that can probably do what you want:

This text gauge will only do IAS or True Airspeed also.  No MACH.

 

 

The TextInfo gauge docs say it can display any FSX variable, eg (A:AIRSPEED MACH, Mach), is that not correct?

Looked through the entire PDF and no mention of MACH speed, only true airspeed

 

and Indicated airspeed.

Looking more closely at the doc, you'd need to modify the XML code of the gauge to get Mach airspeed.

 

The sim variables are here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526981.aspx

 

Looks like a very well written document!
