Cfo Pseudo-degree Converter

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Cfo_pd is a Microsoft® Flight Simulator pseudo-degree conversion utility. You may enter a degree value in any format you prefer and the program will convert the value into several formats.

Input Format

Degree values can be entered in several formats:

• Integer degrees: 123
• Fractional degrees: 123.456
• 16bit Pseudo-degrees: 0x5777
• 32bit Pseudo-degrees: 0x57777777

Additionally, hexadecimal pseudo-degree values may be entered either in "C" language format, for example "0xNNNN", or in "assembler" format, for example "0NNNNh".

Conversion Values

The input value is converted into several formats:

• Fractional degrees.
• ANGL16, 16bit pseudo-degrees.
• ANGL32, 32bit pseudo-degrees.
• ANGL48, 48bit pseudo-degrees.

You may control the number of digits displayed after the decimal point. Valid values are 0, (Zero), through 10. You may enter the desired value directly in the "Fractional digits" box, or you may use the up and down arrows adjacent to the box. When you quit, the digits setting is saved and will be restored the next time you use the utility.

Usage

Enter a degree value in the input box and either press the <TAB> key, or click the "Covert" button.

You may copy one of the conversion values to the clip board by selecting the value, right-clicking and selecting the "Copy" option from the context menu. The copied value can then be pasted into, for example, an assembler source file.

Installation

The Cfo_pd program can be installed anywhere on your system.
