But, there's a time for work and a time for play. Nigel has been working on his "Winter Stores" build-up. As temps get cooler on the farm, progress will be faster.
By the way, those sandwiches will look pretty good after 6-7 days with no food on that epic journey. :-)
The launch of the launch?
(REALLY dry mouldy sandwiches now, & the grog supply getting very low!)
I've had no updates since September 27th as follows:
"Bounty Launch is progressing steadily, along with texturing out the AVRO - as always, the cooler the weather becomes, the speedier we'll make headway. Would like to have the Launch pretty well in the wrapper by end of October ... "
As I mentioned earlier, Nigel is busy on the farm with seasonal harvest and getting in Winter vegetables.
Wasn't it the custom in those days, to take along a chubby cabin-boy or two, in case the sandwiches didn't keep ?
Did you have a point to make or a question to ask Seahawk?
No question, just enjoying a day on the water...
I'm trying to change the colors for the display readouts and not having any luck.
I thought #176 was the value to changem but I'm missing something
A new color value I need to add..?
<!-- Heading -->
<Element>
<Position X="330" Y="83"/>
<Text X="118" Y="25" Length="15" Font="Arial" Color="#FFB81C" Adjust="Left">
<String>Heading:</String>
</Text>
</Element>
<Element>
<Position X="450" Y="83"/>
<Text X="130" Y="25" Length="15" Font="Arial" Color="#FFB81C" Adjust="Left">
<String>%((A:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC,degree))%!03d!° Mag</String>
</Text>
</Element>

There are two text strings in each set (Label then Variable), each having a "Color=" value in hexadecimal.
That is what you need to change.
<Text X="118" Y="25" Length="15" Font="Arial" Color="#000000" Adjust="Left">
You'll see from my code tha is what I thought as well>
What am I muissing..? The readouts stayed black.

SH,
Hmmm, it worked for me.
Are you certain you saved your changes properly.
If you used Notepad to edit, you must use "SAVE", not "SAVE AS".
Double check your folder to ensure the XML version of the gauge has been changed.
The snap of the compass box shows the new lettering color.
I'll recheck the code and try different colors...
Found it, a mistake in the panel.cfg.
Ah, something we all do my friend. Charge onFound it, a mistake in the panel.cfg.
Spring is in the air.
All supplies look to be ready....
Well it's alright for you ,I have had to throw my sandwiches out .They were off ugh!!!
Nigel We are out of sandwiches and rum!!!! oh and boatless.
Cheers Chris
Boatless??? Get back in the Bounty, or get some "waders" on. :-)
I looked last night to see if I had the early version around to share but, alas, no where to be found in FS9 or FSX, and I scrapped a lot of early gmax in all my projects to free up about 20 gigabytes, so it is not recoverable.
But, I do have a screenshot :-)
Yes well I spose we will have to carry on waiting.They say it's a virtue but i'm not sure.
Not blaming you Milton, we are all in the same boat(Pun intended)
Cheers chris
SHHHHHHhhhhh!!!

Anyway, where were we?...
Ah yes, as we were saying; Now that we have the AVRO Project almost wrapped up (still need to convert the models to Aborigine FSX), we'll be moving on to complete the much overdue Bounty scenery package and Launch.
We're now working on an authentic location which is an enormous help as regards to what needs to be done.
Having said that, there's still massive scope to use our imagination and creativity.
We've temporarily placed photoreal textures over the area to accurately trace out where we'll be adjusting the coastline and waterclass for authenticity.

Ah yes! Looking great there Nigel. If you need anything tested in FSX SE, just let me know.
BTW, I don't know where I've been, but I've just discovered this really excellant trimotor floater that I've been have a ton of fun with it's paint kit and some "redecorating".
I've kind of had this Louisiana thing going with it.....
