The zkv1000 is an instrument which concentrates some other instruments in only one single and simple interface. It is largely inspired from the famous display parts of Garmin Primus 1000. Once said, the zkv1000 is definitively '''not''' an exact replica of the Garmin Primus 1000, and isn't intended to be one. Sorry about that.<br /> | The zkv1000 is an instrument which concentrates some other instruments in only one single and simple interface.

Depending of your aircraft you may have in your cockpit different configurations, and some unavailable entries. Even we are in a sim, so there is no limit in the way to get full instrumented glide plane it may be interesting to limit the use of certain functions depending of the aircraft. This has to checked with the aircraft maintainer, or if you feel free with the GPL licence you may modify the aircraft to get the desired functions to work (see installation guide)<br /> | Depending of your aircraft you may have in your cockpit different configurations, and some unavailable entries.
