First, I will make a head on view (symmetrical) of the overall panel...
after you see it... we can go from there...
Tell you what I would like to do... if you can at all use gauges without bezel screws...
that would be the best because they can be made part of the panel... instead of those
ugly ones with the stock CFS2 gauges...
At any rate... let's get first things first...

A bientot,

Hi Gaucho
To get rid of the bezels screws and keep your artwork look, I have to use your panel as a "cover" in the panel config file, this way I can use "standart" gauges with bezel screws, but they won't appear in the final panel.. It is why I need to get pure black holes instead of gauges drawing in the panel bipmap. The bezel screws have in this case to be part of your artwork.
I saw the last drawing you made, it looks good. Just have to make the black holes for the gauges....
To ease the matching between 2D panel and VC panel view, draw you 2D panel so as it can be used to make the VC panel bipmaps witch will be three : Pilot panel, center panel and copilot panel. See the pictures below

A bientot,

Please explain a little more...

Now... you mean pure black holes only in the areas where there will be active gauges?
Could you please take the initial pic I have drawn and mark where you want black holes? and
where it is Ok to have artwork? (like dummy bezels, buttons, etc.)
I mean, you don't want to have ALL the gauges active.. do you?...
