I'm trying to finish Miltons Beech but have hit a brick wall!

- On twin engine aircraft, how should the various engine guages be named/numbered to get them working 'per engine' please?
I've looked at the JU88 in the sdk and used that format but I still can only get one set of engine gauges working.

thanks in advance,

Pat :)

G'day Pat, from the SDK;

Per-Engine Gauges (8 engines max)

Use an un-numbered version for single engine a/c

fuel_pressure_needle#
oil_pressure_needle#

oil_temp_needle#
rpm_needle#
cylinder_temp_needle#
manifold_pressure_needle#
starter#
coolant_temp_needle#
starter_switch#
correctedn1_needle#
correctedn2_needle#
fuelflow_needle#
torque_needle#
egt_needle#
epr_needle#
itt_needle#

For gauges that are not marked in the same units (metric\english) as the data description you can use the KeyframeUnitConversion.xls table to help figure out the correct keyframe to use when setting up the animations.

For example

manifold_pressure_needle0
manifold_pressure_needle1

What they say.
and if that doesn't work your airfile/aircraft.cfg are probably configured as single engine aircraft only.
Been there, done that.:engel016::bump:

Wow, 3 of the top modelling guys in one thread!:applause:

Thanks for the answers gentlemen,:wavey: I had numbered the guages correctly but not the needles.:blind:
