Angle of Attack Index

Hello there

Today I have for you an AoA index I made up for my F/A-18C. It is very low part count and easy to use and modify for your own planes.

How it works?

You simply attach it to your plane and it will activate when your landing gear is down. And here is how to modify it...

(LandingGear = 0 & -AngleOfAttack < 10 & -AngleOfAttack > 6) ? 1 : 0

This is the input for the yellow light, it activates (input becomes 1) on 3 conditions:
- Landing gear is down
- Angle of attack is greater than 6
- Angle of attack is less than 10

You can change the 6 and 10 values to suit your aircraft.

Moving on, below you see the input for the red lights

(LandingGear = 0 & -AngleOfAttack < 7) ? 1 : 0

This will activate when:
- Landing gear is down
- Angle of attack is less than 7

The green lights have a very similar input but the angle of attack needs to be greater than 9 for them to activate, so I didn't see the need to explicitly explain that.

Feel free to adjust these to make it suitable for you. Also while you are at it make a better looking cover for it lol, I don't bother with that stuff.
