Hello friends,
I am building a Northrop Delta, single engine monoplane airliner in FSDS 3.5. This is a nice looking plane, similar to the Vultee and will have a fully clickable VC.

I do not know how to make my own gauges and will like to learn it the easy way, if one of you care to teach me. In the mean time I am copying gauges from FS9 default airplanes and some of Jens Kristensen's airplanes.

I do not want to step on anyones toes, so I would like to know what is the proper etiquette here. Can I borrow gauges from other people's freeware and release my freeware for the enjoyment of the general public? Or, should I stick to only gauges from the default FS9 airplanes? I expect borrowing gauges from payware aircraft is a big NO NO.

I would appreciate any helpful comments and please don't forget to write me about any relatively easy ways to design my own gauges!

Thanks gentlemen.
Sid
