Gauge translplant - how to use gauges in .cab files
So, the goal: fix some missing gauges on otherwise perfectly flyable FS9 planes.
Transplant recipients:
1) FS9 Mig-29F-13 (needs only an attitude indicator gauge).
2) CS Mig-21UM (needs everything)
3) AS Mig-25 (needs everything)
I experimented and added some stock FSX (Baron, Lear) gauges - but honestly, it sucks for immersive value. So, after looking at a bunch of different candidates (including a funky beta Su-7 I had never even heard of - thanks to Frank) I found a suitable donor:
Iris Mig-27 Flogger. Obviously, I'd like to post the final result, and would seek David B's approval for any of those ...
But my problem is that that whereas simple gauge substition makes easy sense, I don't know how I'd pull out the right gauge out of a .cab file.
Anyone able to point me in the direction of a tutorial where I can learn how to do this? Will post successful fixes for the above as I get them ...

skunked - so close...but not close enough
Well, this plane has a nice set of gauges that would work nicely .... except the Att Ind is only reading pitch - not roll.

So, all the others appear to be good, and I'll keep for the other instruments .. but still looking to finish off the FSX Mig-21F-13 upgrade with a simple Russian Att Ind, and I'm back to hunting for one of those ....
Won't give up quite yet ... :running:
