This gauge is written specifically for Captain Sim's B737-200 and B737-200Adv aircraft (http://www.captainsim.com/products/x737/). It will inform you of appropriate take-off speeds (V-speeds), take-off trim units, Vref landing speeds, elapsed flight time, fuel used, optimum cruise altitude, optimum ERP setting and Maximum Climb Thrust (MCT). It will also indicate when the aircraft's gross weight has been exceeded and if an incorrect flap has been set. Take-off speeds are adjusted for altitude and temperature values. Provisions have been made to allow user adjustments to Optimum Altitude, Optimum EPR and Center of Gravity values. Flight time and fuel used can be reset at any time by clicking on their respective displays.
Audio Call-Outs include:

• 80 knots
• V1
• Rotate
• V2
• Gear Up
• Flaps Up
• Slats Retract

Update includes KG, LB, °C and °F functionallity  

These are now available in the Avsim library for download.

Both under catagory:
Flight Simulator X - Gauges

Thanks very much!

Please give it a try and let me know of any improvements or suggestions you may think of.

for some reason, they dont show up Ive followed the install instructions to the letter

Sorry it hasn't worked for you yet.

Please ensure your installation resides in the directory as shown in the image below:

Also check your panel.cfg (try copy and paste as a test):
[Window Titles]
Window06=V-One
Window07=Take Off Data Card

[Window06]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=480,60
window_pos= 0.0, 0.055
position=0
visible=1
ident=130
gauge00=/V-One!V-One, 0,0,480,60

[Window07]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=225,280
window_pos= 0.0, 0.1
position=
visible=1
ident=10050
gauge00=/V-One!DataCard, 0,0,225,280

Make sure and change your cockpit view at least once to the 2D view or the gauge will not work properly.

Also the vspeeds will not display until you select a flap

That did it - shifting to 2D once - all is good - you may be interested to know that just before seeing your gauge posted to Avsim I was thinking we either need a V-speed card and performance tables or a gauge that calculates these for us - and there it was!!  Mental telepathy??

Thanks again for your hard work and this great addition to CSs great model

Thanks Jerry.

The short answer to your question is yes you can.
The long answer is not without a bit of trial and error testing.

The only item effected by the thrust value (parasite_drag_scalar and induced_drag_scalar as well), will be the Optimum EPR display.
Every other aspect of the gauge will work as stated.

I intentionally put in variables to address your exact question as I knew many users have been tweaking their aircraft.cfg file.

I'd like to put together instructions on how to make changes to the Optimum EPR display using your current values as a test case (if you don't mind   ), as many others may want to make the same adjustment.

Please let me know the values you're currently using for:
inlet_area
static_thrust
parasite_drag_scalar
induced_drag_scalar

Also would be helpful to know (but not necessary):
PAX and cargo weight, fuel load and approximate flight distance.
This will assist in achieving reproducible results as a cross check.

Thanks for your help.

[b][size=12]Here are instructions on how to change the Opt EPR display for the V-One gauge to match the 737 EPR gauge[/size][/b].

1. Get into a level flight at the recommended Opt Alt, 32,200 in example.
2. Maintain a stable cruise speed of M.728
3. Note difference between Opt EPR display and 737 EPR gauge.
    Example: 2.078 - 1.889 = 0.189
4. Edit the appropriate v-one.xml file (right mouse click on filename, then choose 'Edit'. Do not choose 'Open').
5. In section 'Initial Vars' towards the bottom of the file, change the following:
    FROM: 0.0 (>L:OptEprOffset,number )
    TO: 0.189 (>L:OptEprOffset,number )
6. Save your changes.

That's all there is to it!

I'm planning on finishing one for the 707 next  

I have created a gauge for the 727-100.
You can get it here:
http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1335753141

I am having a real problem gettting this progrma to work i have rechecked my install and it appears to be okay However i have installed into both the 200 and 200adv .The V-One folder is nstalled under Panel.cfg with all sub folders sound panel font etc.I have copyed the contents of each folder and transfered them to their respective folders under each catergory as stated.Can some one help please what i have done wrong.............Robin

Thanks for your help found a couple of problems it is now working fine.........robin

Can something be more perfect than perfect? Anyway, the 737 is nearly perfect and the V-One Gauge is an awesome enhancement. So the package is more than perfect. Thank you very much!!!!!

Thank you very much! Cool! 

Please see first post for V-One gauge update!

Update includes KG, LB, °C and °F functionallity!

I had the changes in the works a few days ago  

thank you for this update

I have it installed on the C/F and it seems to work fine.

The gauge was never designed for the -100 though.

And so they do. Installed and flew a short hop in both. Thanks
