6.4 CRT-based gauges

 

In many modern cockpit one finds one or more CRT (or nowadays LCD) (so better called monitor based gauges). In a sense they often can better be viewed as a type of console since in general they give (integrated) access to a range of functions. A very nice example of a home made version can be found on the site of Norbert Bosch.

 

CRT-based gauges can be constructed based on the gauges as defined for the Microsoft Flight Simulator panels (see section "Microsoft Flight Simulator"). By using multiple monitors and undocking panel windows they can be arranged in your cockpit.

 

There are also third party suppliers that provide CRT- based gauges. The most famous one undoubtedly is Project Magenta. They provide almost all ingredients for a full glass cockpit for Boeing or Airbus, but also single components as a Flight Management System can be obtained. Using FSUIPC / WideFS a setup consisting of multiple monitors can be created. Take your time and explore their site!

 

Other examples are:

 

Finding small VGA (or better) monitors is not easy. Examples are Lilliput, Xenarc. On Cockpit project an example is given of the construction of a small LCD display.

 

To integrate a CRT in your cockpit panel there are special "bezels", search on internet for examples.

 

On for instance Earth LCD you will find a large selection of smaller LCDs, also ones that can be driven by a USB port.
