Japanese Gauge Ideas?

Hi Ivan
Thanks for your interest in "C"gauges, as I see we are very few to be interessed
The gauges I make for CFS2 use the FS750 gauges.h, that permits me to set up some dynamic tooltips, and check the values returned by the token variables threw it.
Badly I believe those gauges won't show in CFS1
All the samples I sent were done with the FS2kSDK, so with FS700 gauges.h, but it forbids the use of dynamic tooltips, as I know, but I never checked.
But happily you can do it with MAKE STRING, making special gauges for it.
Cheers
Martin

Hello Klein,
I actually have access to all the tooltips that are available for CFS1 gauges. I haven't yet figured out how to use multiple tool tips in the same gauge, so perhaps that is what you mean by "dynamic". I don't believe it will be difficult to accomplish but first I need to debug the P-38 Throttle that was working fine before I added the Mixture gauge.
I have the unfortunate tendency to get distracted and work on multiple tasks simultaneously and finishing none of them in the end.
That is why the P-38 Throttle is such a high priority. It's changes are fresh and I remember what I did and have a suspicion where the conflicts are.

Hello Ivan
Dynamic tooltips are yellow popups, like the help_ids, but where you can program values from token vars, change the units according to the general settings in your game, US,metric or Default.
I believe these tooltips can't be defined in CFS1, but I'm not sure...
Here airspeed in metric and US settings
And the clock, showing time

Those Dynamic Tooltips would be a great debugging tool for what I am chasing right now.
I decided to take a little break because it seems that the more I mess with things, the worse they get.
I can confirm that my math is good and nothing changed that I can tell, but I still haven't found the interference problem (not that I am looking very hard). I got distracted again.
As for Japanese Gauges, here is an interesting photograph. I was actually looking for something else, but this turned up and is somewhat relevant to this discussion. Note that this is the main panel for the Ki 43-I. The panel for the Ki 43-II is not quite the same.
The most interesting thing is the rather large dial gauge on the lower left. It is the Tachometer and seems to be tilted about 20 degrees Port.
This appears to be the standard mounting pattern for this model aircraft
