Chronometers

I took some artistic license reimplenting the two cockpit clocks. They're powered from a hot bus, so they're always on.

They can be controlled independently, which might be useful in VR. I mostly use the FO-side clock to display the cabin temperature. With my elderly headset, the digits are just big enough to make them out from the Captain's seat.

The navigation does not match the labels on the clocks. Use the left and right buttons to switch between the functions, the MODE button to select the unit or detail within a function.

Reimplemented chronometers with the following features:

  • Clock (HH:MM:SS), the MODE button switches between local time and UTC

  • Stopwatch, starts counting as soon as it is selected, it resets when it is re-selected; if you need more functionality, please use the KR 87 (ADF radio) stopwatch

  • Block time display, counts while the aircraft is moving under its own power

  • Temperature display, MODE cycles between °C and °F for OAT and cabin temperature

  • DME readout, mode switches between distance in nm, time to station in minutes, and speed relative to station in kts

If you find anything else it can do, that's between you and your mechanic, so keep it to yourself.
