I have installed B-29B Superfortress ("b29b_910.zip" and addons "b29_913.zip", "b29_988.zip", "b29_987.zip", "b29_915.zip" in Flightsim.com).

In panel.cfg:
------
------
[Window01]
gauge00=f4f4_wildcat!Fuel-Tank-Content, 476,386,80
------
------
gauge32=jwb_fdswitch!Dump531, 596,493,36 <----- NOT FOUND
gauge33=generic.controls.4, 39,518,394,118
gauge34=jwb_dtank!DumpTank, 514,496,80 <----- NOT FOUND
gauge35=HGHB_MIX_2, 423,538,40,96

Can any help me where find this GAUGES?
Sorry, my english is very bad
Thanks

I have some jwb gauges that might work, but I only fly the WOP B-29. The quality is just much better.

The gauge syntax seems a little odd to me...

Did you check the presence of these cab files
jwb_fdswitch.cab
jwb_dtank.cab
in your gauges or panel folder?

I don't know if you already know the meaning of the parameters in these lines:

"gauge32=jwb_fdswitch!Dump531, 596,493,36"
should read
gauge32=jwb_fdswitch!Dump, 531,596,493,36
Note the colon and the blank between "Dump" (part of the jwb_fdswitch.cab file) and the values
531,596 (position of the gauge's upper left corner on x and y axis of the panel bmp)
493,36 (gauge's size in pixels, but 493 seems very wide...)

The line
"gauge34=jwb_dtank!DumpTank, 514,496,80"
seems to lack the second value for the gauge's height.

Try to test those lines:
...
gauge32=jwb_fdswitch!Dump, 531,596,493,36
gauge33=generic.controls.4, 39,518,394,118
gauge34=jwb_dtank!DumpTank, 514,496,80,80
gauge35=HGHB_MIX_2, 423,538,40,96
...
and adjust the height of gauge 34 later on.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Markus.

Markus,
I just checked my copy of Gnoopy's B-29B, and fllebrez has the guage callouts properly copied as to the panel.cfg. They are in the // 714th - Flight Engineer panel, window 1 listing.

I don't have the aircraft installed, so cannot confirm they are working or not. I also don't find them in my download, so maybe Tom will see this and let us know about them.

I did notice after reading in some of the other model readme's that these are some Jerry Beckwith gauges.
 
The problem is than these gauges or cab (jwb_fdswitch, jwb_dtank) are missing in originals zips, also in FS2004 and CFS2.
Can any help me where find this GAUGES?
 
Hi,

I remember I contacted years ago the author about a problem concerning some textures files (not sharp at the noze aera) and he answered fast
So maybe the best is to contact [SIZE=-1]Tom Kohler ?
[/SIZE]
 
I send e-mail at Tom "Gnoopy" Kohler (e-mail address removed by OBIO) days 29/04/2010 and repeat 07/05/2010 without response until today.
Is correct this e-mail address?

Message from OBIO Please do not post e-mail addresses in the open forums. This leaves the owner of that e-mail address open to spam attacks.
 
Try sending him a PM, or leave a message for him on the FSX board, that's where he hangs out these days
