Lx5000 Gps And Flight Data System on 2040-parts.com
Chattanooga, Tennessee, US
The LX5000 is a state of the art variometer system, combining the most
modern GPS-technology and a variometer-system proven over the years.
Voltage 9-36 VDC
Power consumption (audio volume zero) approx. 300 mA at 12 volts
Operating temperature -20 to +60 degrees C ( degrees F)
Storing temperature -30 to +80 degrees C ( degrees F)
Dimensions
LX5000 Æ 80mm length 160mm (excluding connector)
approx.220mm (including connector)
Analogue instrument Æ 57mm length 100mm (including connector)
Total weight approx. 1500 grams
GPS receiver 8-channel, parallel
Pressure probes 1 Silizium pressure probe for the altimeter(variometer) and airspeed respectively.
The variometer system consists of
- the total energy compensated variometer,
- the net-relative variometer,
- the interval integrator,
- the speed command,
- the audio generator.
The interval integrator calculates the average rate of climb over a certain time constant which may be selected in the LX5000.
For the most common gliders a list of approximated polars is stored in the LX5000. The speed command signal is generated using the polar you have selected from this list. Additional coefficients for glider polars not contained in the list, may be calculated and stored in the LX5000. You may do this by using the computer program „POLAR EXE" which is contained in the scope of supply.
The signal is available on the analog instrument and on the liquid christal display, as well as through a tone created by the audio generator. The mode and the frequency of the audio tone may be selected in the SETUP program.
The parameters listed below influence the speed command signal:
- The McCready setting,
- the wingload setting,
- the glider polar,
- the wind,
- a correction to the polar, i.e. to compensate for bugs.

Video: The making of Forza Motorsport 4
Wed, 22 Feb 2012Turn 10, the studio behind the design of Forza Motorsport 4 video game, has produced a video to revealed the lengthy process behind the creation of each car in their virtual pit garage. The video describes each, painstaking step from sourcing of the cars that will feature in the game to the development of the sound of each car. Some cars are scanned using equipment which gives accurate readings to 1/12,000 inch (around 0.002mm) is used to capture data that's imported into software used by anyone familiar with a design studio.
