• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Extract gauges

How about CfgEdit or FS Panel Studio?

Magotto, you have, I think, at least two options here, one free and another which is inexpensive.

CfgEdit is free and can, I think, be downloaded here. It allows you to "mix and match" different gauges from different planes. You could even, say, put together a control panel for your custom F4U-1A Corsair with all German instruments, if you want to. I think that you can currently download CfgEdit from this website, but I am unsure of the specifics. I have utilized CfgEdit for a while and it is easy to use.

Ed Struzynski--the creator of CfgEdit--has coded a more advanced and convenient "instrument panel editor" which can accommodate more recent versions of Microsoft's "Flight Simulator", as well. This new program is called "FS Panel Studio". It costs $24.99 and can be purchased as a download from http://www.fspanelstudio.com . You would, of course, need to have $25 available and a serviceable credit card. I have to admit, though, that I've never downloaded, installed or used FS Panel Studio.

BTW, are you aware that "gauges" includes such flight sim items as water wakes for floatplanes(I could never get that to work myself; by "GreenGhost") and some smoke effects?
 
Hi M,
As Steve says. I use CfgEdit, great little programme and does almost everything you'll want...and free!

If not here do a search and if you get a prob let us know.

Cheers
