Reticle gunsights and panels

Hallo to all, in the next week i finish my personal reticle gunsight
collection for CFS2 with two corrected italian reticles (San Giorgio early and
late) two japanese, tree for US (mk8, K14 in two version), one for french
fighters and tree for german Revi (early and late in two version).
If there is someone that is interested in them i can upload a package
with the installation note.
Now i work over some panel with more accurate gauges and their positions
also in this case, at the end of these little upgrade, i can upload them for
you.
 
I am trying create panel for G3M Nell i am looking for program for make/modify gauges, i remenber that there is a prog that is able to extract bmp from gauge and reinstall it, but i can't find it, or a prog for make new gauge?

Apart FS Panel Studio there is another prog that is capable to make a VC cockpit?

Thanks a lot for any informations about.

Regards.
 
There is no panel program available for actually "making" a VC panel for a CFS2 bird. The VC panel is made by the modeling program used to design the overall model, like FSDS or Gmax. Its either designed as a "dead panel" without working gauges or a dynamic panel with working gauges. If its set up as a dead panel by the designer to skip the work, there's nothing you can do to populate it with working gauges -- they simply won't show in the sim no matter what. But if its a dynamic VC (DVC), after the structural design of the panel is completed, it can be later populated with working gauges by using a gauge/panel editor like Cfgedit or FSPS.

Placing the gauges accurately in VC is a pain in the ass in sooo many ways - it takes some trial and error. But with a good eye and some insight into knowing how a VC panel functions structurally in design layout and how the layout can effect gauge placement and functionality, you can do it.

Stockplane,

Outstanding work! I like panels that are clean and uncluttered. :very_drunk:
 
Thanks Rami, i am glad that my panel like you.
I have only a problem i am not a great able paint the background, for me is a bit hard.
Now i work on Ki-44 panel and then on Mc202.
For the Ki-44 i have an idea: the gunsightin Ki-44 in a telescopic gunsight so the standard reticle a incorrect.
I wish try make two view one for the cockpit and another only for gunsight with proper reticle.
Probably for the next week.

Best regards.
 
Thanks a lot Kelticheart, if you likes my panel, also if aren't grafically great, i upload two panels for Ki-44,
one with telescopic gunsight Tupe 89 and the other with the reflector gunsight type 100 that had replaced the first onto the Ki-44. If i have a bit of luchy probably for tomorrow will be the upload.

Both work with Akemi plane and that created by Knobbe.

Best regards.
