Re: oil pressure problem

If you will provide a link to the aircraft in question - presuming it is freeware - then one of us can take a look and see if we have the same issue (and possibly a solution).

It is a DeHavilland C7 Caribou for Bluestream Airlines. As far as I know it is available either here or at AVSIM. It is freeware. By the way it is an aftermarket panel I am using. If you can send me your email address I can send you pictures. I do not know how to provide a link.

Just provide the actual name of the file(s) you downloaded.

I should be able to search for them that way.

The oil pressure gauge is on the right side of the oil temperature gauge. Maybe I can sub a different gauge in it's place.

Yes, I see it now - must be getting blind in my old age.

I also used a utility I have to look inside the Kingair.gau file for bitmaps and sure enough, the lit and unlit low oil pressure bmps are in there.  I have no idea what triggers them though.

Good luck on finding a suitable replacement.

I did a little further experimentation and find that you can easily remove the "always on" display of the warning lights by simply commenting out the gauges in question.

Example:

//gauge51=KingAir!Warning_Annunciator, 740,278
gauge52=KingAir!Caution_Annunciator, 882,278
gauge53=KingAir!Master_Caution, 905,360,30,38
//gauge54=KingAir!Master_Warning, 1225,362,30,38
gauge55=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Audio, 970,315,225,28

The first one is the oil pressure warning lights and the other is the Master caution light which is always on also.

This for the panel trpcesgl.zip we have been playing with.

Hope that helps.
