Knob gauge

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi. I was wondering if it is possible to create just a knob for OBS purposes. Or edit an existing VOR gauge so only the OBS knob is visible and operable. The actual gauge is on another monitor with the Project Magenta GAIFR black background. My goal is to control clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation via a touch monitor. I know that I can edit xml. gauges somehow but I'm pretty much lost, and don't even know if that is where to begin. Thanks for any help.

	The short answer is yes. The easy solution would be to create a new XML gauge which just sends key events to the sim. You really should read the MS SDK and take a look at some of the simpler gauges supplied with FS2004 for ideas - for example some of the knobs in the 747.
