Gauge help

Postby LeFeaoux » Mon Jan 28, 2008 3:27 pm

I am completely new at doing this (never even attempted it before) and I want to see if it is possible. I have Kirk Olssens F-16 and almost none of the gauges work in FSX. I would like to update these gauges for my own use. Is it possible to do that?

It needs an Attitude Indicator, Airspeed gauge, OBS, etc. Is it possible for me to update these gauges so that they will work in FSX?

You will need to find substitues for the original gauges iof they are of
the ".gau" type and FS98 versions, which are not supported in FSX.

I use a program called FSPanelStudio, which is payware ( although
they USED to have a freeware version ) that allows me to select
gauges and place tham in a panel. This allows you to see the gauge
and decide whether it "fixs" the panel you want to place it in.

There may be other options, other than trial and error, but I don't
have any inmfo on other utilities.

Rplacing a gauge is a simple matter of changing the
"gaugexx=" statement to use the name of the replacement gauge.

Thank you for your response! I'll look into that program and perhaps even try to find another that is similar and might work.

It's a shame really, I LOVE that aircraft and I really want to be able to fly it by other means than just visual.
