Stuart Green's WW1 planes

Not only that, Martin Klein has converted Stuart's original gauges for the Caudron and Staaken! Thanks very much Martin!

That's a process i would be very interested in knowing more about. There are a multitude of FS9 gauges which would serve well in CFS2 compatibility.
 
Great, thank you!

Did you fix the cowling transparency? There used to be an alpha channel which made every metalic part half transparent.
 
Hello All

I joined the skin and gauges for the Snipe, it's the Snipeset.cab converted to Snipeset.gau, permitting to use the original panel.cfg "as it".

I need testers for these gauges, I tried it on Win XP and Win 8.5 in lone flight with no problems, but I didn't try in dogfights with big formations or in use with ennemy AI, may be it's too "heavy" for that, in case of recurents "drops to desk", go to the gauges folder and delete Snipeset.gau, and please, tell me, I can make a "lighter" version for CFS2, may be the sim don't need two different clocks, a tunable altimeter, and workings electrical panel and pitch-trim.

I hope you'll enjoy ;-)

Hi Martin,

Thanks for doing an Australian skin - it's a beautiful job!

The gauges are all working properly. I've only tested the aircraft in free flight so far.

So as not to have the mini panel overlaying the main panel, this entry needs amending as follows:

[Window02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=512,100
position=7
visible=0 (Changed from 1 to 0)
ident=MINIPANEL
child_3d=1

Shift 2 will bring up the mini panel.

Cheers,
Kevin

Gauges working for me as well... on win 7 pro.

Hello Bearcat

I'm not a programmer of any computer language, I set up FS2K Panels SDK, visual studio express 2008(free) and windows SDK (free), and try to modify the samples that are included in the SDK, the first thing to try is to compile the sample gauges, in command lines from VS studio express.
from the command prompter, go to the folder where are the samples and send "nmake", if your environment is well configured, you'll have a sample gauge, and all that stays is to try to modify the sample codes to fit with the XML ones. Dai Griffiths made an excellent tuto on C gauges, I advise strongly everybody trying this exercise to read it.

Good luck

Hello Roxane

the transparency has not to be fixed on all BMPs
you must keep the Alpha:
- On Pilot2.bmp, to permit to Stuart Green to see threw his Goggles
- On Snipe_bottom_wing.bmp for the Oil pressure gauge to show
-On Snipe_interior for the crosshair, the electric threads
-On Snipe_interior2.bmp for the Windscreen
and on the Sopwith_logo if used.

all that stays can be set to DXT1

best regards
Martin Klein
