Stock P-38F Gauges Face Lift Uploaded

The the stock P-38f.gau gauges supplied with CFS2 are IMHO possibly the worst appearing visually of them all.


I repainted them to provide them with a more realistic and accurate appearance. A face lift to bring them up to current CFS2 fan development standards, if you will.


Simply replace the stock gauge in your GAUGES folder with the one in this file. It keeps the stock gauge file name so the updated gauges will appear in every cockpit that utilizes one or more of the gauges.

Captain Kurt,

This is a major upgrade, thank you for all of your hard work on this! :applause:
 
Problem

I really like the new P-38f gauges for the stock P-38. However, they only work in the stock P-38f. When I have used these gauges in other panels they revert back to the original stock gauges. Is there some other adjustment I need to make or is it my Windows 10 incompatible? My gauge program shows the new gauges, but when I run CFS2 it shows the old gauges. Is it just me or has anyone else had this problem?

Maybe Captain Kurt didn't update all of the gauge textures? Gauges seem to have a high and low detail texture to them.
 
Braveheart reported that some panels were still showing the old gauges and not the updates. That would be because the panel designer used the low res gauges included in the stock gauge folder. Don't know why anyone would do that but regardless, I just uploaded an updated file to include the low res gauges. Because the low res gauges use very small bitmaps it is hard to get legible lettering to show but I did the best possible with only several pixels to work with.

The updated gauges are in the original download location:
