Perhaps Fraser McKay's 2D panel might offer help and could be incorporated if needed.
Obviously his permission is necessary. His work on the bitmaps, gauges and systems is impressive.

CPU: 3.9GHz AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core | RAM: 16GB DDR3 1333
GPU: NVidia GTX 970 (4GB GDDR5)
I have input it as 2 D to fly at all (FDE is very good) but VC will take longer. There is no gauge layer in FS2004 output so we have to start from gMAX - which will take a while. And Frasers splendid gauges partially do not work in FSX/P3D -->the engine gauges show no reading.
Anyway. Way to go
The ones which want to help please send me a PM
That as we have in all that files also gages bitmaps, which follow shown panel
Best regards Roland
Below samples and where we have to arrive

Hi Greg
Would you share panel.cfg and bitmap with me?
No big progress yet as for FSX-P3DV4-5 we need new gmax output odf VC+interior and for MSFS 2020 all need to be new
Best regards
Roland
Probably not. Again this is all custom gauge and bitmap work that I still run in fs9. Just saying that Fraser is probably still willing to oblidge in using his codes/material. The FSD version JS was the one plane I was really wanting so when It went caput, I learned a lot to make something for me. Greg
Hello
PROGRESS UPDATE- some at least
Back here again -->Version 1 FSX+P3D
Sorry took a lot of time-only today I found a way to show the gauges in the VC
And as it is empty need a day to arrive what you see in VC-->The blue Jaeger Tachometers are just place holders-->To see where the gauges belong in VC
All gauges are from somewhere and have copyright-need to be made and/ or contact to the Author
So I need HELP
XML gauges designer - we have the bitmaps for the engine gauges,AOA, many others-->drop me a PM
2 serious test pilots in FSX as I work in P3DV4.3-->it flys (well) but is way unfinished-->drop me a PM
2 serious test pilots in P3D -->drop me a PM
MDLX help as still there is flicker and ( look to Copilot ADI ) gauge does not show--> I will talk to fsdeveloper
Best regards
Roland
Thanks for the update! Keep 'em comin! Please!

Thanks for your hard work, the aircraft is impressive...
dear All
I am getting a bit closer, but way to go still
by now we have
a well flying model, mostly fly in its envelop
An outsidemodel which is good and works in FSX and P3DV4.5
An VC model where,sunshades(both cockpit and cabin ) tabels, seat, armrests,most of gauges,many switches,doors windows,levers, controls, thrust reversers... work
What does not work yet is (Animations not function)
Overhead switches apart lights
Fuel switches and center console switches
Hide Yoke
some VC areas are still blurred
Some gauge areas refuse to show ( ADI of Copilot, ....)
As for test some gauges are borrowed off many other planes-need to be replaced, and some I will ask authors to borow
ANY GAUGE DESIGNER (XML) WHICH WANTS TO HELP VERY WELCOME
Best regards
Roland
Pictures are off P3DV4.5 Off KSAN (Orbx) . flown in FSX and P3DV5 as well but not extensively
Roland has done a great job converting this beautiful model and I hope and am optimistic with all the skill and talent here others will help with this project.
Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Hi
Lonely update, as so far nobody ( apart test flying ) volunteered to help
I am now working in VC and programmed the Altimeter,AoA, Eng N1+N2,VSI and used Fraser McKay's ( which I cannot get in touch on permission) certain gauges
On N1+N2 I could not yet the drums working so for now Digital
ANY XML help would be highly appreciated
Next week or so I can share the updated version to people which want to help
Then it will take longer as I do interior model again, as there is still flicker, some gauge area dont show fully ( like annunciator in below picture ) and many more
Drop a note here or PM me
Best regards
Roland
As now - and as it should look like finally
Hi,
sorry I can't help you with the gauge xml (I get lost with anything more complicated than really basic xml) but may have a solution for the flicker.
Texture flickering is usually caused by 2 textures in the same plane (geometrically speaking).
Try setting the Z-bias on the VC texture to a negative value (try -5) and see if that helps.

I'm really looking forward to the release of this Jetstar.
I'm sorry that I don't have the skills required to help with the panel.
My only ability is to copy and paste various gauge mods for my own use.
I wish you all the best with this project.
Pete.
Wow! That looks exceptional! I wish more folk would make comment else you may become disillusioned. I have no talent and look on in awe.

This really looks good! Sorry I can't help with the gauge coding, real world job stuff has me saturated.
