See this merely as a display of the aircraft around you. Any movement you see is merely interpolated Lat/Lon) - added "Southwest-Option" EICAS display (this is the version of the NG cockpit which emulates the old EFIS type displays and doesn't match the PFD/ND we are using at all... we just added it upon request because it looks more "techy" by some.

N1Init is the N1 value at which the Startup delaying sequence is started, i.e. when on startup N1 passes 3.2 it will switch into the startup sequence. N1 Stable and N2 Stable are the target values after completion of the spooling up and both values are stabilized. This will get rid of the discontinuity of the values, as both N1 and N2 "jump" quite a lot in FS. - added AdvDisp=On / Off entry for the PFD.INI file, to enable/disable adventure text display. - added HDG HOLD annunciator for 747 (needs newer MCP as well) - "permission denied" fix when the Glass Cockpit EXE is running in the NetDir folder itself. - N1 and N2 start-up spooling time regulation tests... it *requires* a change in the aircraft TXT file... N1StartupDelay=seconds and N2StartupDelay=seconds, e.g. N1StartupDelay=25 Please note, this just changes the *display* of the N1 and N2 values, the actual values within the simulator remain the same!
