Hello Ivan,
Yes, you´re right, thanks. I found the parameter called WepT - i.e. WEP Timer -
on the Beckwith panel. Types 1 and 2, Water Injection and Methanol-Water,
both appear to time out at...

Hello Ivan,
There is one thing I have always thought about:
There must be a CFS1 parameter accessible by a Gauge-making programme
that would enable a gauge programmer to programme a mousable WEP...

Hello Ivan,
Glad it´s starting to make sense! It sounds quite complicated, this issue with old
gauges and newer computers. There seem to be quite a few factors of influence.

I remember trying...

Hello Ivan,
Nice trim gauge!
I have always felt that a kind of circular trim indicator gives a better feel, so it will be much more practical to use.

Hello Ivan,
The new gauge certainly looks very good! It has a different overall look to it fro the usual. Very nice!

Hello Ivan,
New things that one finds out crop up all the time. Interesting!
I´ll see if I can find a version of GIMP that I can use. Sounds good.
I can´t stand any version of MS Paint, though,...

Hello Smilo, Hello Ivan,
Very interesting, how things are developing gauge-wise, and how useful too!
Also very lucky for us, the experimentation with default bitmaps, as it allowed for further...

Hello Ivan,
I´m glad to hear you are making progress on the gauges for your own models! Interesting work indeed.

I don´t blame you for not wanting to further occupy yourself with Microsoft gauge...

Hello Ivan,
What a neat bit of work you are doing! It´s no piece of cake with the bitmaps, and less even with the masks.
You seem to be progressing very well.

I finally finished the German...

Hello Ivan,
In the past I always used stock and FSFS gauges, occasionally doctoring up one or two the bitmaps to suit my needs. I wasn´t very fussy with gauges or panels, and didn´t let that get in...

Hello Ivan,
OK, I understand the Oil pressure gauge problem. No problem!
What I´ll do as a stop-gap then, is change the frame on the dual needle FSFS Default Oil Press/Temp gauge.
While I´m at...

Hello Ivan,
I was a bit pressed for time this morning - Thursdays are usually busy days lately - so I didn´t ask about the engine shut-down test. Needless to say, I´m quite mystified. RPM keeps...

Hello Ivan,
Actually, I wasn´t really planning on anything for FS98, because its hardware accelleration won´t work on my computer. I only use that installation to check a few things occasionally,...

Hello Ivan,
Interesting info as regards below-zero temperatures being reflected on oil gauges, and that American gauges also used ºC.
Maybe it´s more common for engineers than for laboratory...

Hello Ivan,
Sounds like fun with so much power, and makes testing a bit less tedious!

I´d say the effective results you present are also neat and good looking.
Very interesting, the...

Hello Ivan,
It is fortunate that you have found some reliable information to go by, especially
as it is for the early Mitchell you are preparing the gauges for. By the looks of
the instruments,...

Hello Ivan, Hello Smilo,

A nicely done solution with the dual needle instruments! - Elegant, and saves space on the panel, as well as being authentic!

Re: Autopilots. Smilo´s wish list seems to...

Hello Folks,
I´m having some interesting problems trying to fine-tune a CFS1 .air for the engines of the FW200A: 9-cyl radial BMW-132A, 720 Hp at 2050 RPM, not geared, with a 1.2 ATA supercharger....

Hello Smilo!
You certainly have been productive! It looks great, and it sounds very effective.
You are right about pop-up panels - they let you see things in detail. A good idea to use them. I had...

Hello Folks!
I agree that it looks better, although well timed screws are not all that improbable. Very Nice!

Hello Smilo,
A pop-up panel sounds great.
If the gauges you mention weren´t to be found, it wouldn´t be terrible to do without.
The AP is a bit strange and the wing leveller seems absent. I wonder...

Hello,
Yes, absolutely! They are so good that they make my provisional panel look fantastic!
A.L.

Hello Ivan,
I´m sure that your super organized methodology is one of the
reasons why your work is so much more precise than mine,
and I can only share Smilo´s opinion!
3 Cheers!

Hello Ivan,

I understand that Z-buffering has nothing to do with gauges. I meant to indicate that the lack of this coincided with another lack, namely the lack of specific gauge-creating software....

Hello Ivan,
I´m still trying to convince my mechanics not to use galvanized iron wire through the gauge holes to tie the gauges to the panel!

I remember writing a sailing simulator and also a...
