Text Labels: Toggles the display of text labels on and off.
Compass Plate: Toggles the display of compass plates on VOR
navaids.
Cursor Info: Toggles the display of information near the mouse
cursor.
Cursor Distance: Toggles the display of the distance from the airplane
to the mouse cursor. The information is displayed
near the mouse cursor.
Cursor Bearing To: Toggles the display of the bearing from the airplane
to the mouse cursor. The information is displayed
near the mouse cursor.
Cursor Radial Toggles the display of the radial from the airplane
From: to the mouse cursor. The information is displayed
near the mouse cursor.
Time: Toggles the display of the time.
Date: Toggles the display of the date.
Speed: Toggles the display of the indicated and true air
speed of the airplane.
Altitude: Toggles the display of the altitude of the airplane.
View Distance: Toggles the display of the visible distance.
Lat/Lon: Toggles the display of the latitude/longitude of the
airplane.
Graphics: Toggles the display of the navaids to either colors or
icons.
Cursor Distance Toggles the distance measurement used in all dist-
Measurement: -ances displayed in the Vector Map. These distances
include the cursor distance and visible distance of
the Vector Map. The measurements are as follows:
Feet (ft), Meter (m), Kilometer (km), Statute Mile (mi),
Nautical Mile (nm).
Compass Plate The plus and minus buttons increase and decrease
Size: the size of the compass plate respectively. The max-
imum compass plate size is 5.0 nm. The minimum
compass plate size is 1.0 nm.
On-Window Text
The Options Screen allows you to selectively display information
about your flight. The information is displayed at the top of the Vector
Map and is divided into 3 sections. The sections include the top-left,
top-middle, and top-right of the Vector Map.
The date and time, air speed and true air speed, altitude and eleva-
tion are found in the top-left section of the Vector Map. The time is
displayed in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time - Zulu). The air speed
is the speed of the airplane without the effects of nature. The true air
speed combines the speed of the airplane with the forces of nature
(i.e. wind, gravity, etc.) acting on the airplane. The altitude is the
height of the airplane relative to sea level. The elevation is the height
of the airplane relative to the ground directly beneath it.
The distance of the view area is displayed in the middle section of
the Vector Map. The distance is measured from the airplane to the
left edge of the Vector Map followed by the distance of the airplane
to the top edge of the Vector Map (i.e. 150 nm x 150 nm). For
instance, zooming into the Vector Map increases the scale of the
Vector Map which decreases the viewable distance.
The longitude and latitude of the airplane is displayed in the top-right
section of the Vector Map.
Vector Map Options
Click the Options button on the control bar to display to Vector Map
Options Screen. The Options Screen allows you to configure the
Vector Map to your taste. All option states are saved when modified.
When you return to your Vector Map from session to session, it
appears as you left it. The following describes each option found in
the Vector Map Options Screen:
Airport: Toggles the airport visual on and off.
Airport Name: Toggles the airport name label on and off.
Airport Identifier: Toggles the airport identifier label on and off.
VOR: Toggles the VOR visual on and off.
VOR Name: Toggles the VOR name label on and off.
VOR Identifier: Toggles the VOR identifier label on and off.
VOR Frequency: Toggles the VOR frequency label on and off.
NDB: Toggles the NDB visual on and off.
NDB Name: Toggles the NDB name on and off.
NDB Identifier: Toggles the NDB identifier on and off.
NDB Frequency: Toggles the NDB frequency on and off.
