Summary
===========================================

** Please read the attached PDF documentation for complete details and usage information **

This file contains a set of utility gauges.  The primary gauge adds a flexible tow, pushback and taxi feature not currently available within FS9, Century of Flight.  While there is a built-in functionality for pushback, this gauge gives you complete control over speed and direction / rate of turn while pushing back or being towed, allowing you as the Pilot in command much greater control and flexibility for handling your aircraft while on the ground.

Key features:
- ability to tow the aircraft at variable speeds using the rudder to control direction.
- ability to pushback the aircraft at variable speeds using the rudder to control direction.
- compete autothrottle/autobrake system implementation to taxi at set speed under your own power.
- utility gauges that display true ambient temperature and pressure, and access to electrical panel to control key FS9 systems (eliminates the need to load a "default" situation for some add-ons).
