Items included by default in the NavGuides are the following:
Altitude (ASL)-
This option displays the altitude for the respective aircraft above sea level.
Even though the aircraft may be taxiing on the runway, the altitude may reflect
hundreds or thousands of feet, if applicable.
Heading-
This option displays the heading of the aircraft. The heading is displayed in
degrees, as they would appear on a compass. "0" degrees is North, "90"
degrees is East, "180" degrees is South and "270" degrees is West.
Airspeed-
This option displays the airspeed of the aircraft.
RPM-
This option indicates the current revolutions per minute, or RPM's, for the
engine.
Graphics Frames/Sec-
This is an abbreviated version of Frames per Second, or FPS. While the data
displayed is not relevant to your aircraft, it is used to provide you with
feedback on how your computer is performing at any given time. The higher
the frames per second, the smoother the simulation will appear.
