Advanced Transponder and GPS HUD

Gps-screen-thumb.jpg

A transponder is a device used in most modern aircraft to make the aircraft more visible to ATC (Air Traffic Control) radar. When an aircraft is illuminated by a radar signal, the transponder sends a code that is displayed on the ATC radar screen. The code, sometimes called a “squawk code”, is a 4-digit numeric value that is set by the pilot. This HUD makes your aircraft visible on a grid map that is accessible from an off-world web page modeling an ATC radar system.

This version of the Shergood Aviation transponder includes a moving map GPS to display your position in real time. Transponder Functions:
