I like how they also have a high contast mode which will help when trying look at it outside, but if you dont need it you can still get a realy nice looking colourful GCS.

Somebody asked if we could add the lens flare to the OP instruments. The general consensus was why try to artificially recreate something that reduces readability? I'm wondering what the rationale was for adding them to these instruments.

My 2cents. The full guage displays are nice to look at, certainly. My preference would be for something like the displays you see on a actual full scale UAV GCS. Leaving more room for the FPV display. Depends on how you are flying your RC aircraft. If you don't have FPV then a full guage display is probably quite useful. Having FPV though I'd want to maximize the FPV view and minimize display of data overlays. Guess it comes down to personal preference. This one looks nice.

Looks great although I would have the artificial horizon in the middle and the altimiter to the right of it.

@Ron I agree. gauges are crap compared to something garmin in nature. So much space waisted for less SA.

Ryan, now that's the ticket.

Sure, it displays a ton of info in one place, but it DISPLAYS A TON of info in one place!!! I can see how some would have an aversion, but this is where it's at.
