You can toggle between the Stopwatch, the Simspeed and the Zoomfactor on the lower display, and you can toggle between local and zulu time on the upper display. If you click on ST/SP you start the stopwatch. If you click on ST/SP again you stop the stopwatch. If click on RST you reset the stopwatch. If you click on the lower MODE button you can set the Simulation Speed. Display: SR-1.00 If you click again on the lower MODE button you can set the Zoom factor. Display: ZM-1.00 If you click once again on the lower MODE button you are back in the stopwatch mode. Display: 00:00:00 If you click on the upper MODE button you can change to zulu time. You can see now a yellow indicator point left of the upper display. If you click again on the upper MODE button you can change back to local time, and the yellow indicator poit disappears. You can change the time like in the original gauges. For the change of the simulation speed and the zoom factor, please take a look at the enclosed HotSpot picture. ___________________________________________________ CONDITIONS OF USE These gauges are FREEWARE. They may ONLY be used by panel designers that release FREEWARE panels.

Installing this gauge: If you want to replace the original EXTRA Timer Gauge, please rename your EXTRA-300.TIMER.GAU, which is located in the FS98/GAUGES directory, to EXTRA-300.TIMER.ORI, so that you have a backup of the original gauge. When ever you want to use the original gauge again, rename the EXTRA-300.TIMER.ORI file back to EXTRA-300.TIMER.GAU, and you can use the original one. Now copy the file Timer.gau in your FS98/GAUGES directory, and rename it to EXTRA-300.TIMER.GAU, now you can use the new gauge instead of the original one. You do not need to make any modifications to your panel.cfg files in this case. When you want to use this new Timer gauge instead of any other Timer gauges, you have to edit your panel.cfg files. You can find an example of - how to add a new gauge to my panel - on my homepage. If you have already the previous TIMER gauge installed, you need only to copy the new TIMER.GAU file over the old one. ___________________________________________________ CREDITS Alexander Lawrence He gives me his full support to use his WebSite, and also he is a great inspiration for me. Andreas Jaros Together with Andi I am working on a A340 panel. There will be some very special, highly realistic gauges in this panel. I hope that we can release it very soon. Thanks for the CLICK and for the BIMM sound Andy. Eric Ernst You can find many of my gauges in his panels. He was also a very great inspiration for my work. I hope that Eric is back very soon. Konstantin Prokopiu For his great efforts to program gauges with sounds. Without his work we could not release such realistic gauges. Hiroyoko Toyohara For his great gauges; take a look at his very realistic Boeing 777 panel. You can see there what is possible in FS98. Olav Magne Rønningen The newest member of the FPDA. Take a look at his Boeing 737 panel. Now he is working on a great DC-8 panel. Chuck Dome For his GAU2BMP and GAUMOD98 utilities that makes the gauge modification much easier. Many thanks for your great utilities! Benjamin Chen For his great GaugeBrowser that makes the gauge modification much easier for everybody. Microsoft Corporation Thanks for the Panel SDK that has been an invaluable resource to make better gauges. ____________________________________________________ COPYRIGHT: DO NOT MAKE ANY MONEY WITH ANY GAUGES!
