Center-of-Gravity Controls on the Main Panel
Using the Multi-Display-Area (MDA)
XR vessels are equipped with a touch-screen
Multi-Display-Area (MDA)
in the lower
center of the main panel. This panel supports 10 different modes (0-9), with each
mode having its own touch-screen virtual buttons and other information. The picture
below lists MDA Mode #3:
MDA Mode 3 (Temperature Display)
Notice the solid light blue areas on the screen: those areas are touch-sensitive. You
can use the blue arrows on either side of the
3
in the lower-right corner to step to
the next or previous MDA mode. You can also select an MDA mode
directly
by via
the keys 0-9, and you can step to the next or previous MDA mode by using the
D
and
ALT-D
keys, respectively.
The other interactive area on the above MDA screen is the solid blue block next to
the
°
C indicator: clicking it will switch the display between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and
Kelvin temperature scales. Except for the blue navigation arrows in the lower-right
corner, the interactive areas for each MDA mode are different; you will find each
MDA mode detailed in its relevant section later in this manual.
