This is a pic of the final upload version going to the server as I write.

Beta-testers please note:

I've changed the fuel gauges and bitmap to accomodate them so you will need the download if you want them, and need to overwite your existing BaronB58_1024.bmp with the one in the download file.

Whilst hunting down gauges for the Standard version, I came across these gauges which, in my opinion, are far better than the Baron defaults.

The default gauges are incremental, meaning they only really show decent movement below half tank level. This has generated queries in this forum before from people who thought they weren't working.

The new ones are based on percentage fuel and look a lot better as well as being more useful.

I've also added instructions for use of the TCAS in the readme following a suggestion from WebbPA (Thanks

)

I'm on FS2002 Pro with meigs2k2.zip and Lago FSSE 1.51 combining to produce Meigs.

I also run several add-ons for improved runways/hanger/building glass/trees/roads/you name it...LOL

Always the perfectionist. The new fuel gauges look like they have a little more "play" in them.

I gotta learn to leave things alone...LOL

The gauges have a much wider span for the needles to travel and supply easily visible information on the amount of fuel left all the way around, unlike the defaults.

All credit to the gauge author, who's name, unfortunately, I don't know.

Thanks guys.

Now where's the "blush" emoticon.... LOL

Hope you all enjoy it and that the efforts of WebbPA as my long suffering beta-tester mean it will work `straight out of the box`.

(Blame me, not him if it doesn't. I spend so much time tinkering with the darn thing I'm surprised it works at all. Grin

I'm glad to do my humble part (and get in on the ground floor in the meantime!). I get so much from this forum and this site that I'm happy to give back when I can. Trust me readers, Tipster did all the work. And you are going to love this panel!
