???PSP and edit it to match ?

The only thing I noticed is while flying the old guage kept popping up underneath the new guage. I guess that is because I didn't delete the old guage Grin

Hey the man of steel needs help sometimes too, haven't heard of the JUSTICE LEAGUE! Well here are some pics of me getting up close and personal then making that pilot pic an alternate route!

Yeah, delete that old gauge, it really isn't doing you any good. But if you play around with CfgEdit, or take a look at the panel.cfg file of say, the stock 747, you'll find that you can put in those nifty little shortcut buttons and make a new window where you could put the radar gauge. If you need help with this, post in the panel design forum again and I'll see what I can give you.

As for matching the BMP, go to the PSP (Paint Shop Pro) website and download the latest version (free trial Roll Eyes

) and play around with that! There's something interesting! Although if you are just starting out, you might want to keep things a little slow for now . . .

The reason I say edit the BMP is because you can tell that gauge doesn't belong on that panel. But if it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it! Grin

Nah it doesn't bother me at all Grin

. I just happy to have it their serving it's purpose! But you are right I have no experience messing with paint stuff so I am going to leave that alone!

But i will fix up the panel by deleting the old guage!

Thanks again baron!

I always added the radar to a seperate window to all my military jets which made it easier Wink

Now how do I do that? With the CFG edit all I have to do is select a window 01 or so forth that is not being used and just paste the guage their?

Copied this out of my F-14 panel.cfg file....

I just made a little background bmp for it, made this, and it allows me to easily add the radar to any panels I want.

I think I even did it with cfgedit Cheesy

I will give that a try Andrew! Thanks

Does that file include your bitmap guage!

I think you need to check again Mr. Deep Space. Kuwait Intl. airport and Saadam intl. airport are the same airport. Both carry the same ID # From the angle I placed the camera you can see the ocean towards the background Tongue

About which ocean do you exactly talking about?????? the only thing near Baghdad that close to be an ocean is the river, and there isn't so many water in it.
