using non- type specific names for simplicityFor the 1091: compass and waypoint indicator:use outer ring to determine heading, buy looking at the tick mark at the 12-o oclock position. Determine bearing to next waypoint buy look at inner airplane looking needle.2. Artificial Horrizon/Attitude indicator:emulates out the window view to provide pitch and roll information when in clouds, fog, or when the natural horizon is out of sight. The vertical bar is a tun indicator which you can pretty much ignore. The black ball at the bottom indicates if the airplane is slipping, skidding, or in coordinated flight. If the ball is deflected to the right, use right rudder to bring it to the center. Normally you dont need to fixate on this, but rather get used to simultaneously applying rudder with aileron when rolling into or out of banks, and use the ball to verify that you are using the proper amount. (of limited importance in IL-2)3. Manifold pressure gauge:displays pressure within the manifold, indicates engine power generation.(note clock just above, but not really useable)4. Altimeter:look at whole number values in the window at bottom to determine alt in thousands of meters, look at radial needle to determine alt in hundredsso if you see a 2 in the window, and the needle is halfway between 4 and 5 you are at 2,450 meters5. Airspeed indicator in k/mh6. engine tachometer7. prop pitch/governor indicator(just use shift Zero and forget about it)8. Oil temp (engine temp)in 109 overheat is near the 100 mark (forgot exactly)9. fuel quantityfuel level in 1/8 increments, note the light comes on at 1/8 tank.For the FW-190
1. Airspeed indicator (with handy gradations)2. Attitude indicator/Artificial Horizon3. V.S.I (vertical speed indicator)In the 190 this is measured in meters/second. If the needle is deflected above the 0, and pointing at five you are climbing at 5 meters per second etc.(p-39 also has a nice VSI, but it indicates feet per minute, and is calibrated in thousands)4. Compass and waypoint indicator5. Manifold pressure gauge6. Altimeter7. Fuel and oil pressure8. Oil temp (engine temp)9. Fuel quantity10. Propeller pitch11. Tachometer12. green lights by throttle quadrant, indicates Landing gear down and locked13. ClockS!TX-EcoDragonP.S. I will try to buz onto GV real quick tonight, to elaborate or answer any questions.
