Advanced PFD

Description
This advanced Primary Flight Display (PFD) meant for 2x2 monitors uses the smaller text and numbers microcontroller to display more informations, and in a more compact manner, than most other PFDs.

Features
-speed (IAS, Indicated AirSpeed in 1 kt increment)
-altitude (in 20 ft increment)
-radar altitude (in 1 ft increment, up to 999 ft)
-vertical speed (in feet/minute)
-pitch
-bank
-bank indicator (with markers at 0, 30 and 45° roll)
-aircraft cue
-heading
-compass rose
-speed tape (fully configurable speeds: VSO=minimum speed, VNO=max normal speed, VNE=maximum speed)
-speed warning (in case of over or underspeed, depending on your configured speed tape)
-different units (aviation standard, metric, imperial) available (select them in the MC dropdown menu)

Autopilot cues plugin
A second, optional, microcontroller is available as a plugin to display some extra informations on the PFD.
The plugin should be fed autopilot modes (altitude hold, speed hold, nav) as well as the target parameters (desired altitude, desired speed, etc).
It is entirelly optional and can be deleted if so desired.
Note that this is NOT an autopilot, just some extra symbology. You'll need to feed the data from your autopilot to the plugin.

By far the best PFD! It's in all of my aircraft.

the contrast on this one and the way that stuff is displayed makes this the most god teir display lol
it also works with the 3x2 screen, which is good for fighter jets

You can find it next to the main microcontroller. It's already connected as needed, just feed it your own data.
Do note, that as stated, it is NOT an autopilot, but an autopilot cueing system. It will show you what your autopilot targets (in speed, altitude, heading) are, but it will NOT fly the aircraft for you. You need a separate autopilot for that.

Hello!
How does the Autopilot plugin work and where can i find it or build it?
