Oh, oh, now I can't remember...I guess I'll have to check out both if I can find'em.
The one I was using has a bunch of little boxes that can be checked and then puts red lines on the screen at those coodinates.
I'm pretty sure it was Showmarkers, now i just have to find it on my computer.
thanks

meant in humor ( the airlines and mine ) i found this to be an incredible help to those learning their way around an airplane..

Yep, that's showmarkers.
It's by Lamont Clarke (website here: http://lc0277.gratisim.fr/) but the link to the actual file is dead. A quick google found an active link in this thread here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...compatible....&p=499287&viewfull=1#post499287

Hey Dave, got it, thanks a bunch!
Hope it helps, I'm attempting to port over the old pilot's B314 to FSX. The contact points are way off so maybe I can use this to get'em squared away.
Pam, looking at that paint job makes my eyes water. Hope they pointed out the bathroom
Mal,
I'd be interested in your results. I have the B314 but just overcoming the security to get it into FsX was beyond me.

First I had to install the Pilot's B-314 (service pack2) into FS9. Then I copied and pasted the 4 separate sets of B-314 files into FSX's airplane folder. Initially, there were missing VC textures, but I finally found them residing in the main texture folder of FS9. I also moved the effects into FSX. I then I copied the missing textures into each texture folder for the (4)B314.
All the gauges work except for the throttles which I swapped out for a set of B-17 throttles. I am still getting 1 gauge error message regarding the throttles but I'll deal with that later. So everything works in the VC and in the 2D. The model shows up with no anomalies. I also found 1 prop file in one of the textures folders and when I copied it into all the texture folders the props showed up ok.
I swapped out the sounds for those used in WOP B-29 4 Wrights. I also changed the flaps gauge in order to reflect the correct number of flap settings.
Now to the flight model which has required a bunch of tweaks. A bit less trim input, a bit more aileron input, a bit more crusie_lift and increased lift stability. I've been playing with the COG as she was sitting nose down in the water and maintained a nose down attitude in flight. I moved the COG back a bit and also adjusted the flap lift and changed the flap pitch. so the aircraft would lift off and maintain a level attitude.
Now, to the current problem; she wants to crawl forward on both land and water. Hands off she moves by herself at 7-6 knts. So far I can't figure out why it's doing that. I don't know if it's being caused by not enough friction against the hull or a power/engine problem, or what. Very frustrating.
If anyone knows what is causes aircraft creep/crawl, and how to address it, please feel free to chime in, your input is welcome.
Also, I need to address her stance on land when the beaching gear is deployed. She's sitting a bit off the ground. It would be so much easier if the contact point sections had been labeled, but alas, such is the burden of the port-er over-er.
