CHAPTER 2: Instructor / Operator’s Station (IOS)
Use the Visual panel to confi gure ELITE’s visual dis play
set tings. Everything from Time-of-Day to the amount of
runway environment detail displayed can be changed.
Set Date and Time:
Set the Time of Day and Date. Daylight is accurately
re fl ect ed based upon navigation data load ed and time
set.
At program start, ELITE references your com put er’s
internal clock, then applies the (LT)/(UTC) offset from the
General settings dialog box on the Confi guration. The
calculated current UTC (Uni ver sal Time Co or di nat ed) time
is then used for all cock pit clocks and appears on the Time
of Day pan el in the UTC win dow. The time dis played in the
LMT (Lo cal Mean Time) window will probably NOT re fl ect
the current local watch time of the area fl own in. THIS IS
NOR MAL! LMT is used to calculate accurate sun rise and
sunset times. Depending on aircraft location within the
specifi c Time Zone fl own in, and Daylight Sav ing Time,
LMT may be “off” by as much as 2 Hrs. Use this time only
as a reference for set ting day/night fl y ing con di tions. To
change time of day, click and drag on hours/min utes adjust
knobs located below LMT dis play window.
PRESET LEVEL OF DETAIL (GENVIEW)
Software “performance” is directly related to the com put er
hardware and associated capabilities used to run it. Many
factors such as processor speed, memory, vid eo card and
drivers, come together to formulate what the end user
per ceives as com put er “power.” Some per for mance gain
may be achieved however through the soft ware by fi ne-
tuning GenView’s visual settings.
Based on the processing power of
your computer, you may want to adjust
the Level of Detail (LOD) setting by
pressing one of the LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH but tons.
