Gauges update for An-2
----------------------------
1. The operation scheme the trim switches, cowl and oil-cooler flaps (central panel) has been replaced to correspond to reality. The sound of both flaps kindly provided by Gleb.
Operating principle: press the switch to the desired direction and hold until the required value is reached. Use tooltips for control (for radiator flaps - use the appropriate gaugee). For convenience, when the deviation of the RH trimmer is less than 0.5ͦ, pressing the RMB sets it to the neutral position.
The full movement of the flaps is approximately 15 seconds (half the actual time). The full stroke of the trimmers from the neutral position in one direction is also approximately 15 seconds.
2. The logic of engine excessive temperatures failures has been rewritten. The previous criteria (including the approximate time to failure) are retained - oil temperature exceeding 85˚ and cylinder temperature exceeding 220˚ and 240˚.
Overheating is now indirectly indicated by a drop in oil pressure (monitored on the EMI-3K). Low pressure (approximately 1-1.5 kgf/cm2) means early engine failure; It should be taken into account that the pressure drops faster when the oil and cylinders overheat at the same time.
Also, during the process of overheating, a drop in engine power occurs, which is expressed in a slight decrease in boost.
When overheating is eliminated, the boost and oil pressure gradually return to normal (4-5 kgf/cm2 at nominal mode).
3. Malfunctions and eventually stop of a cold engine (cylinder temperature less than 140˚ and oil temperature less than 50˚) are realized when the throttle lever position was more than 50% and the RPM were more than 1200.
4. Looping of sounds of all three-position toggle switches when holding them in extreme positions - Fixed.
5. Excessively fast movement of the oil temperature needle on the EMI-3K when manipulating the oil cooler flaps - Fixed.
6. The "teleportation" of the voltammeter needle when switching the "spin-up-clutch" toggle switch - Fixed.
7. An alternative version of the "spin-clutch" toggle switch. Spin by LMB, clutch by RMB, one mouse area.


During overheating, it is NOT recommended to use a pause.


===================== Installation ===================================
Unpack contents into ..\Aircraft\Antonov An-2.

-----------------------
Important! If you have already edited panel.cfg and do not want to lose your edits, you can edit it manually.
in the [Window00] section, delete the lines with the gauges An-2_XML!An2Temp220, An-2_XML!An2Temp240 and An-2_XML!An2TempOil85; add the line gaugeХХ=An-2_XML!An2Engine_Failures, 1076,288,20,20; arrange device numbers.
In this case, there is no need to copy the proposed panel.cfg
-----------------------
You can also delete the An2TempOil85.xml An2Temp220.xml and An2Temp240.xml files from the ..\Aircraft\Antonov An-2\panel\An-2_XML folder.
