what about using gauges from the GEEBEE, or another similar time period aircraft?  would you possibly willing to compensate that much.  I do understand that you are going for near perfect realism, but being that there are no available pictures, you might be able to fudge it just a hair and it still come out looking EXCELLENT.  (and being there are no pictures available, who is going to tell you that the GEE BEE gauges, or other craft are not correct???) you will be the only person that knows for certain unless someone goes digging in the panel.cfg

You know, since the Vega has a *.cab file, you can definitely modify the gauges to suite your needs.  All you have to do is replace the bitmaps (at least for on/off switches) and include the same XML file in your *.cab file.

Having to work with my Angel 44 gauges, I've gotten a fair amount of experience with hacking and slashing at previously-created gauges, so if you have any questions or need a little help, I could sure use something to work on . . . ;)

PM or email me.

We're going again this weekend, If they have one there (you never know) I'll get as many pics as I can. ;)

Also, don't know if it's worth it, but testors site, has a 1/48 model of this. It's like $5-$8. That's where this pic came from was their site.

The Beechcraft site above, has pics of one on site, but none from the cockpit for nonmembers., they may have some available to members.

I think that's Matt Younkins.  The Beechcraft museum only has the Speedwings and Empannage from NR1313...
