Hi guys,  Anyone know a good tutorial, of how  place the gauges in the Virtual cockpít, I do not get it with the FSDS 2.11 version example in the help file.

The gauges in my model seem gigant and badly placed.

Tried with the Custom Panel designer wich I have paid, but  not worth the money.  It has no prevision for the VC and is plaged of errors.  And no support from Abacus.

Any recomendations here!

Help will be appreciated

CfgEdit has provision for DVC windows. It will read all but the FS2002 default style XML gauges. The best method might be to create dummy DVC panel BMPs & use them as a guide in CfgEdit. You might need to experiment to get the positioning just right.

You might also try to make a 512X512 bmp panel texture for your VC in your 3D studio (Gmax, FSDS, etc.).

This way you get an idea of how big things are and where they should be.
