The Engine Indication shows normal operational information such as:
*Fuel available  
*Fuel available  
*Weapon states
*Thrust output
*Ship Mass


The screen in the ship center is used to show engine output and direction.<br>

If the engine is in reverse the box above the engine will show an amber REV.<br>
Additional information can be found depending on the model:
 
*Landing gear
Ship structures that are damaged will show up in red.<br>
*Pitch trim
 
*Flap settings
===CAS (Crew Alerting System)===
The CAS stack has 4 levels of notifications.
*Red - Critical Failure.
*Amber - Warning.
*Cyan - Notification.
*White - Info only
 
In the aircraft Red and Amber messages flash a master warn light. <br>
 
To simulate that we flash the “Scroll lock” and you have to press “Scroll lock” to turn off the master warn light
====Red Warning====
Some examples of Red level warnings.
*Trim out of spec when you apply take off power.
*Parking Brake on with take off power or in flight.
*Flaps misconfigured for take off.
*Wing temp at Critical levels.
As you can see each of these examples is a life threatening situation. <br>
To get crew's attention a red level warning triggers a triple chime.
 
====Amber Warning====
Some examples of Amber warnings.
*Cargo/crew door open.
*Thrust Augmentation off or damaged.
*Yaw damper off or damaged
*Wing Temperature above 125C
These messages all require immediate action to remain non life threatening. <br>
Each amber level will trigger a single chime to get the crew's attention.
 
====Cyan level notification====
Some examples of Cyan warnings.
*Parking Brake on while parked.
*Caps lock on
These messages are simple warnings that the crew has things configured in non take off settings.
 
====White level====
At this point we do not have any White level notifications other than "END" to show the stack bottom.
