RobertVA Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: Cessna 310." 06-20-04, 05:34z  LAST EDITED ON 06-22-04 AT 18:35z () by Ben_Chiu (admin) You could change the gps gauge name in the window00 section (cdgps!gps to fs9gps!gps_500) or, as I did, delete that line and decrease the gauge numbers for the remaining gauges in that section (gauge29 to gauge28 etc). The new window02 section (provided previously) establishes a new 2D panel that pops up with the standard Shift-3) In my experiments I moved the radio navigation gages to a new panel / window05 with the following entries size_mm=100,300 position=8 BACKGROUND_COLOR=16,16,16 VISIBLE=0 ident=NAV_PANEL gauge00=Cessna182rg!VOR1, 0, 0, 100 gauge01=Cessna182s!VOR2, 0, 100, 100 gauge02=Cessna182rg!ADF, 0, 200, 100 This pops up with Shift-6. I added: window05=Radio NAV Displays to the Window Titles section I didn't see room for the radio navigation indicators in the virtual cockpit, but the popup panels work threre as well. The new virtual cockpit entries make many of the gauges, including the GPS, work in the virtual cockpit. The text isn't really ledgible on the virtual cockpit view of the GPS, but it's enough to line the plane up on ILS feathers or the flight path if a plan is loaded. I had trouble with the clock didplay not being ledgible in the virtual cockpit and had trouble with a duplicate image with the manifold pressure gauge. At some point I may experiment with different clock and manufold pressure gauges, but I might need to change portions of the panel bitmap. To my understanding adding additional panel surfaces like throttle quadrants or an center console for the GPS would require access to the plane's 3D model source files, which I don't have. If I get things like the mainfold pressure gauge working I'll ask Ben if he wants to make the changes available as a download. Robert Near KORF Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
