Communication radio
The communication radio is very simple and has limited range. The
frequency is set with the lower and upper section of the large knob on
the right lower section of the gauge panel.
Airspeed indicator
The 510 degree scale on the
airspeed indicator allows for a
precise reading of the indicated
airspeed in km/h or knots
depending on your FSX setting.
Altimeter
The altimeter is rather standard and like the Airspeed indicator can be
switched between metric and US settings. The gauge will automatical-
ly show the correct bitmap. Make sure you set the correct QFE before
take-off. As the C4 Competition works independently from this gauge
you could set QFE in this gauge and QNH in the C-4.
C4 competition
Without a doubt the heart of this product, the C4 competition is a
flight computer that is used in glider competition (but also for
recreational flights). It is capable of using the loaded flightplan, your
GPS-determined position and the performance of the glider to make
many calculations. It is far too complex to describe them here and we
are happy to have permission of the manufacturer (Franz Pöschl
GmbH) to include the actual manual. You will find our representation
of the instrument to be accurate and detailed in almost all functions.
You will find the C4 Competition powerful but you have to spend half an
hour of getting to know it. We assure you this will be time well spent.
