New commander today?

Adam,Again I sincerely thank you for the warm comments. These and others like them are the only payment we accept. Comments like these continue to fuel our efforts and hopefully see us through the Commander series.Regarding adding a gauge to your panel, a default gauge can be added simply by adding a gauge statement to the panel.cfg and positioning the gauge on the bitmap with its x,y coordinates. It may be easier to find the gauge statement in the Mooney panel.cfg and copy/paste it to the 520 panel.cfg as the next gauge in the series listed. Increment the gauge number by one, and set the coordinates.This would be a good starting point:gauge63=Mooney_Bravo!Amps, 759, 588Remember you will also have to change the background bitmap to add a bezel.Warm RegardsMilton

Hi Milton. Well that was easy! I got the gauge resized and snapped into place after about 9-10 tries - little tweak here, little nudge there. I think it looks quite decent. Obviously one made for the Commander would be better but this is fine.The only thing I was wondering about is if I can change the hue of the Mooney ammeter gauge a bit to match the needles on the Commander gauges. They are a little less bright/white than the Mooney gauge. Do you think this could be done with software like MSPaint or something similar?Again, thanks a bunch for the help. I'm a happy camper now! :-)Adam

The mooney gauge is a compiled one and not editable without the source code.If you can find an xml gauge from some other source, you could edit the bitmap and needle to the desired color.Milton

Scott,That's fantastic news!!!! So I just insert the line in the .cfg? The gauge is already in the Texture folder? It otta be easy as I already have the correct coordinates. Just a matter of replacing the gauge.I also inserted another switch for the other generator and a seatbelt and no smoking sign just below the start switches. This is really fun.Thanks a lot!!!Adam
