May 16, 200620 yr I was looking around on other forums, and found this picture. It looks a lot like a 2D panel of the LearJet. 1st picture, here: http://forums.flightsim.com/dc/dcboard.php...g_id=2165&page=(I don't know if we are allowed to post other forums links, if not I'm sorry in advance.)
May 16, 200620 yr It is indeed the Learjet 2D panel!Looking good.Thank You For Posting.(Notice the shadow?)
May 16, 200620 yr You know what else? That 2D shot looks like it was on one of those 16by9 or 16by10 widescreen displays and the gauges look perfectly circular! :-jumpy
May 16, 200620 yr ~ It is the Lear 2D panel.~ It has been redone for FSX.~ It is running on a wide screen display.~ The gauges on that display are not round.
May 16, 200620 yr >~ It is the Lear 2D panel.>~ It has been redone for FSX.>~ It is running on a wide screen display.>~ The gauges on that display are not round. >They're not? I guess you would know, but the three backup gauges to the right as well as the one on the bottom left look perfectly round from the angle the pic was taken.
May 16, 200620 yr >I guess you would know, but the three backup gauges to >the right as well as the one on the bottom left look>perfectly round from the angle the pic was taken.Exactly - the angle is what's confusing you :) The gauges are horizontally oval but since the photo was taken from an off-angle the perspective squashes them into something more resembling a circle: http://www.puonti.net/stuff/oval.jpg I've put red squares around the round gauges to show you how much off each gauge is. In fact, you can see that the bottom left gauges are horizontally oval EVEN from this angle.
May 16, 200620 yr That makes sense. Thanks for the in-depth explanation. I guess I was a little pre-mature with my '2D panels now support widescreen' excitement. Oh well. It was a glorious 45 mins. LOLEdited for spelling.
May 16, 200620 yr Cool, nice looking panel.The first 2d panelshot b.t.w.Makes me curious what the other panels look like :)
May 16, 200620 yr lol ok I'm going to make an ask for FS 11...16x9 panels :)Getting my request in early lol.... :-DIn the meantime, we'll just have to do some quick panel work to make some 16x9 3rd party panels lol Dean MountfordUltimate VFR
May 16, 200620 yr The panel looks great so far, from what I can see.Have a look at that MFD. Also the PFD. Seems like nicely redone. Now I hope those gauges are going to be somewhat smoother than in previous versions. :)
May 16, 200620 yr That Lear45 panel looks GREAT. I am an avid Lear 45 flyer (practically all I fly in FS) and I really like the looks of this panel. I hope they have a GPS, and Traffic Avoidance screen, and weather radar that can ulternate with the engine gauges crt. That would be cool.Matthew
May 16, 200620 yr I'm waiting to see if the Cessna panels have been overhauled in FSX...http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...g_id=7759&page= Dean MountfordUltimate VFR
May 17, 200620 yr I bet the VC-only brigade are crying now :-lol. 2D panels are here to stay :) Quote from MS Flight Team Lead: "We’ve made some guesses"
