Hi,

As some of you know, I'm currently working on an IL-2 project, my first ever FS airplane.

Right now I'm close to finishing the external model, so I still got a long way to go.  I'm here because I'd like my airplane to have a virtual cockpit with smooth gauges, and I don't know how to do that.  A bit of research revealed XML gauges, C gauges, gauge lighting, sliders, needles, and everything in between, but I'm still as clueless as ever.  How do I go about making the gauges, where do I put them, do I need to do anything special to make them smooth in the VC...?

At this point, I can do the graphics, but that's about it.  You can see my efforts so far.



Thanks for your help.

As a first try - is there an *existing* gauge that you can use?  For example, you may want to simply change the graphic on a default DC-3 gauge that serves the same purpose instead of building a new one from the ground up.

Apart from that, I believe that FS Panel Studio would help you in creating new gauges.

yep, FS Panel studio is the thing you need you can make new or save time and alter ready made ones.Have fun
