Surface MFD mode is used to assist the pilot in flight close to the surface of a planet or other body.

Elements include:

  • Artificial horizon with pitch and bank
  • Heading indicator tape
  • Altitude tape including pherihel and aphel altitude
  • Vertical speed tape
  • Speed tape, indicated air speed, true air speed, ground speed, or orbital speed
  • Acceleration tape
  • Angle of Attack (AOA) tape
  • Atmospheric data
  • Equatorial position, longitude, latitude, rate of change
  • Outside air temperature
  • Mach number
  • Atmospheric density
  • Static pressure
  • Dynamic pressure

Buttons and Hot keys

  • IAS button or Shift+I: To select Indicated air speed
  • TAS button or Shift+T: To select True air speed
  • GS button or Shift+G: To select Ground air speed
  • OS button or Shift+O: To select Orbital speed
  • HUD button or H: To slave the HUD to Surface MFD display

Display components

  • At the top left, it says 'Surface:' followed by the name of the body. Surface will always select the body with the highest percent of gravity, you can't change it.
  • Along the left side of the display, the upper tape is vessel speed
