Dynamic VC's How?

[Guest]

HiI have recently started designing in g-max and I want to create a VC for my plane. Now, I do not have the slightest clue how it's done so can someone please point me to any tutorials. Does the VC have to be build inside the actual cokpit of the model or is it built separately but part of the same scene? Also, I want to learn how to make custom gauges, any tutoriasl/help appreciated.Take careMike

Start at Chris File's site for the basics: http://thegreatptmd.tripod.com/then go to FSDS tutorials for more:http://www.freeflightdesign.com/tutorials.htmlAfter that, you can get into specifics. :-)Hope this helps.Milton

The gauges in a VC are the same you use for a 2D panel, so you can use the tutorials related to them: the AircraftPanels_SDK by Microsoft, sd2gau13.zip by Dai Griffiths for C compiled gauges and xmlgau01.zip for xml-gauges.Arne Bartels
