In FS Panel Suite, I am
trying to re-arrange the location and sizes of switches and gauges, and to edit
their bitmaps for my custom home cockpit OVERHEAD control panel. This is for the WilcoPub
737PIC Evolution Boeing 737-300 airplane. It looks like the entire
overhead panel for this airplane is seen by FSPS as one SINGLE gauge.
Same for the main instrument panel, throttle quadrant, etc. To edit the
gauge, say, for the Overhead Panel, FSPS pops up with a full panel
with a long, detailed list of dozens of individual elements and
Bitmap Re-source numbers, and will show the bitmap and location/size data for
each light, needle, instrument background, etc. So you KNOW that they
are all THERE, somewhere! Looking through all the C drive files,
including FS-X, I wasn't able to find any hidden folder with .bmp's in it
anywhere that looked like what I need. However, with you
attempt to "edit the bitmap" on any individual needle, light,
etc., it says "System cannot find the file specified,"
along with "Waiting for the Bitmap Editor to finish" - which it never
does, just keeps spinning and spinning, apparently trying to find the .bmp file
somewhere. Other similar aircraft,
the default FS-X 747 for example, FSPS does show numerous gauges on the
FSPS main panel display, for example, all of which are individually
moveable, duplicable, copy-able, and delete-able. But for the 737PIC
Evolution, the entire panel is all one "gauge." Will not
break up into individual, workable elements on the main view, so that
I can work with them. Need to be able to access
each switch and instrument individually, mostly just to move them an inch or
two and make them a bit larger or smaller to fit my format. As is common with any
project like this, am going crazy. Actually started this attempt
several years ago using an earlier version of FSPS, and gave up at that time. Appreciate any help you
can give. JJ - Palmdale Ca |
