Virtual Cockpits

Postby hsvfan » Thu Feb 05, 2004 9:48 pm

Hi all,
I was woundering by some small chance,is it possible to add working gauges to an aircraft that has a virtual cockpit with no working gauges.
I know that the virtual cockpit is part of the mdl so you need that to make any visual changes to an aircraft. There are a couple of aircraft that have virtual cocpits and no working gauges that would be grate if they had working gauges.

The answer is: unlikely :(

There are a few planes out there that are setup for dynamic virtual cockpits (working guages), but only have a vc. I think I've come across two that were like that...the builder couldn't wrap his head around panle setup so left it available for someone else to do.

Most planes that lack guages in the vc lack the part that functions as teh screen for the guages to display on. And that can only be corrected by editing the model, which pretty much leaves it to the designer.
