Dear Friends All,I'm looking for a stopwatch gauge to fit the non-working image space on the left of this forthcoming panel for the Red Arrows Hawk - which is a work in progress, but will be released within a week or so once loose ends are tidied up:http://www.swiremariners.com/9reds6.jpgCan any gauge gurus help? I've found one that is part of another clock, but really want to replicate this photoreal original.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

I guess Dai Griffiths, the men of the FPDA and others don't read this forum ... or don't have an answer. Okay, on to Plan B ...Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

I would love to help you, but I am leaving for a week's vacation in about 5 hours, and I guess I really should get some sleep ;)Bump this back up to the top next monday if you haven't gotten it yet and I can help you then. :)Matt

Mark:I do not mean any disrespect to you, but I must respond. I think you are way off base on this one. To imply That Dai doesn

He never said they don't care, he just said that they either don't read the forums (which is possible they may be non-connected at the moment, or busy) or that they don't have a suggestion. I thought it implied that since they don't have a suggestion, why bother responding. I don't respond if I don't have a suggestion or a clue.I didn't think it was spiteful in any way, and no apology should be required. That's just my 2cents. (With lots of salt attached!) ;-)I would like to think that anybody who has ever made a panel, or attempted to make a gauge, or has been around this sim community for more than a few months, would know just how invaluable fine folks like Dai, Arne, Chuck, etc. etc. are to our hobby, and wouldn't chide them for something as trivial as not being able to respond. I give the benefit of the doubt in this case.

Thanks, Eko. I certainly meant no offence whatsoever. I am continually astonished that the likes of "tee-time" seem ready to jump on anyone for the sake of it in these forums. Anyway, I seem to have found support elsewhere, but thanks again for taking the time on my behalf.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

Matt, you still about? How was your vacation?I've released the panel with conventional clock and sim timer, but will be releasing an upgrade pack in a few days (some new views, transponder in the panel by request, and a few tiny fixes) so it would be interesting to know your thoughts. If you have something in mind, please advise. Thanks.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

Mark, my vacation went very well, thanks. Glad to be back, though. ;)The panel looks very good. If you would like me to program a custom stop watch for you, email me at [email protected]
