These are the files required to use the EHM Status gauge - beta version.

WHAT IT DOES

The gauge shows a luminous (light bulb-like) indicator with the following states:
- INOP (yellow) = flight logger not started, while parked (parking brake set)
- INOP (red) = flight logger not started, while parking brake is not set.
- ORIGIN (green) = aircraft positioned at the current flight origin airport (while starting the flight)
- ORIGIN (yellow) = aircraft location does not match the current flight origin airport, while parking brake is set
- ORIGIN (red) = aircraft location does not match the current flight origin airport, while parking brake is not set  
- INFLIGHT (green) = flight in progress, properly recorded
- DEST (green) = flight completed, aircraft location matches the planned destination airport
- DEST (yellow) = aircraft landed but location does not match the planned destination airport 

WHAT IT DOES NOT YET (planned improvements)

- Playing a warning sound when status changes to one of the "red" (severe) conditions.
- Add a ON/OFF button to disable/enable status indications for non-EHM flights. For now the button is shown but inactive.
 
WHAT IT MAY NEVER DO (dunno how)

- My initial intention was to switch conditions from "yellow" to "red" when an engine is started, but detecting this condition seems like hell within the MS SDK (this was way easier with FSUIPC)  


COMPATIBILITY

The gauge has been tested on FS9 running on a 32-bit Windows XP. No idea whether it works with FSX. There could be platform issues on 64-bit systems, also the communication could be blocked by Windows advanced security freatures.

INSTALLATION

No installer yet, instead the following files should be copied / modified manually.

FlightLogger.exe - Replacement for the same file included in the 4.1.7. release. Functionally identical to the original file, but in addition it acts like a "server" for the gauge.
EhmGauge.gau - Gauge file, goes into <FS9 root folder>\Gauges\
panel.cfg.doc - Included as a sample, it is a C182 panel modified to include the Euroharmony Status gauge in a separate window.
