For some reason, I can't see Photobucket pics using Opera. Update says I have the latest version. I can see the images using IE, Chrome and AOL, but when I attempt to reply to this post in any of those my computer goes wacky. I have typed a reply here 5 times and something or another has caused a crash. So, for now I will read and reply via Opera and look at pics I can't see with IE.

As for the pic I posted, before life took me away from EAW I was working on getting the cockpits upgraded to the 1024x768 size. They are still in the original size. This is the Hi Res cockpit for the Mossie. If you look closely at the airspeed and attitude gauges, you will see the needles for all the gauges. The Cockpit Editor was never upgraded to the larder format; I couldn't find that bit of code to do so...

Perhaps these days I can try to find the time, always bugged me I never finished it. I still have my old rig with the software and code on it...

If you get it working it would dovetail nicely with the new Mossie model I'm working on.

Yeah I noticed that. I'll see what I can do, need to get up to speed on current source and what not...

Hi CJ.

256 to 512 conversion was the problem. Although the texture fitted. none of the needles did. We use 24bit bmp textures now, either in 256 or 512, so you can now use true colours. It might be easy to do a code change to x4 the positions of the needles, they should match the bigger textures. It's always made me wonder why the 3dz mapping fits 256, 512, and even 1024, without code changes.

Moving the needles around the way we did in the old days, through changing values in the cdf files, works. But it's very fiddly, whereas in the Cockpit Editor it's click and drag to place and size the needles. The problem is the cockpit editor uses the original 2D images of the panels, not the 3D. When using the 3D cockpit, the associated file redraws the needle in the correct place, which in the original files was easy - but in custom cockpits they are all over the place.

Then when you have the needles placed, they are extremely thin and hard to see. I think they really need to be turned into sprites rather than drawing a line. I'll have to fire up my other computer and take a look see, been a long time !

So in short, the 3dz files of the cockpit work as you describe, but the needles don't follow suit...

Going back to the Condor, I found this layout for the cockpit.

Photobucket hates me. I can download pictures from a million different sites using Opera, but not Photobucket. I can't use IE, AOL or Chrome reliably. I used my phone and dl'ed to Drop box and dl'ed from there. What a hassle!

Got your pic, Col. added to my existing collection....

Pretty rusty at this, what's the latest 3DZ editor??

Great, now you've done it! I accidentally downloaded a bunch of utilities, and some pictures. Now I have to find my set of German Gauges...

And off we go!

Cheers.

Spitty, I love that site, at one time I had dl'ed everything they have. Then I created them in photoshop so the perspective is correct, and they can be adjusted as needed. But a quick visit to the site shows a great many more gauges ! Nice!

Thanks Jel, had the itch for some time now and the Col.'s Condor got me going.

I have some ideas I want to try, are the Coders still active?
