Zooming and Panning in the 2D View

AV8OR 3D provides the ability to zoom in/out on the 2D view in order to see

close-in detail, or to get a larger image of the general flight area. There are two
ways to zoom in/out when in either the Full 2D or Split 2D/3D view.

Using the top menu, the Pan/Zoom button toggles the main display between
Pan and Zoom modes. The status of the mode is displayed in the center of the

arrow keypad icon in the top menu. When in the zoom mode, the up and
down arrows can be used to zoom in/out, while the left and right arrows can

be used for controlling the brightness of the display.

In addition to the top menu, zooming in/out of the 2D display can be accom-

plished by pressing the (-) and (+) buttons to the left and right of the scale
indicator at the bottom left of the 2D window.

In order to switch to PAN mode, press the PAN button in the top menu. The
center of the arrow keypad icon in the top menu will switch to read Pan. You can

now use the arrow keys to pan up, down, left, and right of your aircraft position,
or around airport diagrams or approach charts.

Heading Indicator in 2D View

The heading indicator is displayed as a graduated arc. A white arrow indicates

the current magnetic track, and the numerical value is displayed in degrees just
below.
The aircraft's heading in

AV8OR 3D is based on GPS tracking, not on the absolute

heading of the aircraft, so there may be a variance between the

AV8OR 3D heading

indicator and the aircraft's compass or directional gyro (DG). The aircraft

compass or DG should always be used as the primary instruments to determine
actual aircraft heading and crosswind effects.
When a flight plan or an instrument procedure is activated, a target course
(magenta arrow) indicates the bearing to the next waypoint. When this bearing is

not in the range of the track indicator, a magenta arrow shows the direction of the

bearing.

Track Line

The track line shows where the aircraft is expected to be after flying a specified
distance or a specified time. Its length and its visibility can be specified in “Track
line” in the Display tab described in

“Display Settings” on page 54
