The "SatLoc LiteStar III" gauge
This lightbar gauge can be added to every aircraft. It is a GPS-based navigation system, built specifically for crop dusting.
Using a lightbar is at the same time easier and more challenging than flying by eyesight only.
The lightbar gauge in CropDuster X was designed as an artistic represenatation of a real world instrument, the "SatLoc LiteStar III". With the kind approval of SatLoc Air Products Division the gauge was modelled as true to the real device as is possible in a flight simulator. It can be opertaed by using the real world manual, which is included in the installation package.
The gauge itself is independent of the CropDuster X application, it will work with every aircraft and regardless if CropDuster X is running (or even installed) alongside it or not.

- Easier, because it guides you along the swaths of the field.
- More challenging, because the precision required to fly a pattern with a lightbar is extraordinary and requires keen piloting skills.
