Auto-Trim Test  Airspeed Indicator Altimeter
Airspeed is intended for registering KIAS (Indicated Airspeed), as any real-world aircraft would.  Use of the "True Airspeed" feature in FS is far from reality, and is not supported. Kohlsman setting according to Pressure Altitude.

 

Attitude Indicator Autopilot Altitude Control
When the Flight Director is active, the command bars will appear. When the autopilot is active, the command bars will point to the direction and/or altitude selected on the autopilot.

If the autopilot is not engaged, and an FS flight plan is active, the waypoint bearing will override the NAV or HDG functions. Otherwise, the command bars will continue to respond to the NAV and HDG functions even when the autopilot is not engaged.

Also, when on final approach and an ILS frequency is tuned on NAV 1, the command bars will respond as you intercept the localizer.

 

Outside Air Temperature Turn Coordinator Vertical Speed Indicator
The toggle selector switches the display between outside temperature and cabin temperature.
