Hi folks,
I'm still a 2D panel aficionado and I like to design my own 2D when it is not available in downloaded airplanes, or modify existing ones to make them more realistic.
The problem i'm regularely running into is to make icons work.
Map, GPS, radio, icons are OK, but when I make a new window I can spend hours in trying open it with any of the icons contained in common icons files such as "simicons.cab" or "simicons 1924.cab".
I understand that a link must be established with the line " ident=xxx" in the panel.cfg, but I'm not able to find any parameter in the icon gauge file capable to do this. Additionally, how to avoid the risk of modifying ALL the applications of the same icon?
Is there any tutorial that explains the process or is there anybody willing to give me some hints?
Thank you
Ezio
