Artifical Horizon With Vert Speed

Description
EDIT: THE CONTROLLER SAYS THAT THE ROLL SENSOR SHOULD FACE RIGHT, THAT IS INCORRECT. IT SHOULD BE FACING LEFT.

Introduction
This is the Second iteration of my artificial horizon. It features all of the elements the you would like to be displayed when flying, ie: Speed, Altitude and Bearing. The colors are layout are modelled to resemble a real artificial horizon ( I took inspiration for Garmin's website).

Use
Each horizontal dash measures 5 degrees of tilt in game. On the right you will see altitude. In the bottom right, an 'A' will be displayed meaning that your altitude is true and if your altitude does go beyond 999, the 'A' will be replaced with the digits continuing of your altitude reading. On the left you'll see your aircraft's speed in knots. Finally, on the top you can read your bearing in degrees(0-360).

Changes
This artificial horizon now features a vertical speed indicator right next to the altitude display.

Is there a way to make the altitude display in feet?

Well for example in the cockpit primary flight display, there are purple\pink pips beside the altitude, airspeed and heading readout which indicates the value the autopilot is set at. Say purple\pink pip by the airspeed says 200, means the autopilot is set at 200 knots and will try to keep that airspeed.

This one for example says the pip for Airspeed is set at 175 knots, altitude at 1400 feet and heading set at 120. imgur-> ICVVk9q.png

I'm not sure what you mean, I guess probably just try it out

I have not tried it yet, and might seem like a stupid question, but does this include airspeed\altitude\heading bug's for combination with set conditions by an autopilot ?

shoot! I'll try to update it soon

Hey makers, it seems as though your heading is inverted. It shows 270 when the compass is pointing east (HDG 90)... https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/357480372809891840/783656334390198272/unknown.png

Hey, hope it's ok I used your artificial horizon on my latest build which is uploaded. I've given you credit here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2254714724 .

Let me know if you want anything specific mentioned or if that is ok.
