Blenheim IV cockpit
From Battleground Europe Wiki
- Engine Boost. Shows your throttle setting for both engines. If either engine takes damage you will see the effects here.
- Clock. Measures game time, not your local time.
- Magnetic compass. This one is rather tricky to read. Use the slave compass instead (11).
- Engine oil temperature. One gauge per engine.
- Engine oil pressure. One gauge per engine. If you are leaking oil, pressure drops and temperature increases (gauge 4).
- RPM. Shows the revolutions of your propeller in units of hundreds per minute, e.g. 20 = 2000 RPM. See the effects on this gauge by changing from Economy to Continuous and Maximum RPM with ‘ key.
- Indicated Airspeed. Readout is in tens of MPH, e.g. 14=140 MPH. The inner scale shows speeds over 340 MPH.
- Artificial Horizon. Shows the position of your wingline relative to the horizon.
- Vertical Speed Indicator (VsI). Shows whether you are climbing or sinking in thousands of feet/min.
- Altimeter. Readout is in hundreds (long arm) and thousands of feet (short arm). This Blenheim is currently at 320 feet Above Sea Level (ASL).
- Slave compass. Add a 0 to the readout to determine your compass heading, e.g. 9 = 90 degrees (east), 27 = 270 degrees (west).
- Inclinometer. Shows your Turn and Bank and your Yaw (when you skid by applying rudder).
- Landing Gear Indicator. Arm down means wheels are down, arm up means wheels are… yeah, up.
- Fuel gauges. Not shown in this picture – look right and behind you to watch fuel levels.
Nice and roomy! Manipulate your controls and see the levers move.
