A Lockheed "Rounder"

I was wondering about the status of the 2D panel for this plane. I downloaded the previous WIP, but it appears that the panel was not finalized.
 
The WIP release was for repainters. Everything is still a WIP.

BTW, what do you think the 2D panel needs? Just curious :)

Hello Milton, and thanks for the response. Perhaps I don't have the latest WIP, as it has a very low resolution BMP and many of the gauges don't load (in FSX).
This is what I see.

Cool! LOL That's not the 2D panel I released. Attached is a screenshot of the that one, and the VC both in FSX here. No gauge issues. Not sure where you got that. :)

My 2D panel is simply temporary and will be completely replaced. The VC is a WIP still.

I do not have a panel/gauge programmer so I am doing the best I can myself. The end result will be usable but certainly not ideal.

Ooops! How embarrassing! I apparently loaded the wrong plane when I did the screen cap! My apologies! I did notice on yours that the 2D panel bmp is rather low resolution (1024 x 768)...do you by any chance have any higher resolution images of the panel?
 
No problem. The 2D panel bmp will be based on the completed VC panel. I do not have a higher res picture to do a photoreal 2D panel bmp.
 
Here's the 2d that I've been using with the WIP release. The bitmap is the one that AlphaSim released as freeware in with all the other old 2d panel bitmaps of theirs. It's a bit simpler, but I kind of like simple.
 
That AlphaSim panel bitmap is part of a collection of 160 bitmaps released as freeware.

From the readme: "FREEWARE ALPHASIM PANELS By Phil Perrott of AlphaSim. Here are 160 panel bitmaps I have created between 1999 and 2005, please use them any way you like - but please don't try to sell them!"

Found it at FlightSim.com, filename: alphapan.zip
 
Not a problem for me my friends; I too am enjoying the sabatical. :)

Just whipped out your early work on this one ... like an old friend.
