I am wanting to take a "scratchpad" entry from a keypad and translate it to BCD to be used with a COM1_SET in a C gauge.Since I am using Easy Gauge, I don't have access to the math.h HornerScheme function, but can supply my own callback function.Can someone please let me know what the format would be? I cannot 'translate' the XML equivalent (I'm can't parse it!) :((L:NAV,number) 100 * 10000 % int d 10 % r 10 / int d 10 % r 10 / int d 10 % r 10 / int 16 * + 16 * + 16 * + (>K:NAV1_RADIO_SET) }BillAVSIM OmbudsmanFounder and Director,Creative Recycling of Aircraft Partshttp://catholic-hymns.com/frbill/FS2002/images/fartslogo.jpg

Hi all. Can anyone tell me if there is a special "magic" way to straighten out mulitple points and polygons after a moving door has been created? Is it just trial and error with a steady hand and lots of patience? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,I

I am one of a number of creators of a new Ireland based VA (Aer Solas) and I am hoping some one here could help us with question about call signs. How exactly does one create a call-sign etc. from scratch. We already have and use "Edit VoicePack 2" but are unsure if it enables the actual creation of callsigns rather thanjust placing them in FS2K2. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys!How many of you acctually use wing views or virtual cabins or even VC's. How many of you spend more time inside the aircrft than you do outside.i have an idea and depending on some of your answers i might swing it in to motion!Carl

I have been going nuts trying to convert a single engine to a turbo prop (Pratt and Whitney powered) 4 seater. My prop stops turning and yet I still have sound, no thrust... Using the FS2002 Cessna 208 file mixes, including sounds. Anyone have any ideas on how I can make a great turboprop airfile? The ship is roughly the size of a Piper, slightly larger, low wing, four seater.I would be very grateful for any help. I am curious if there is a better flight editor? I havent been able to get mine to be able to 'modify' to the constraints of my design. Also, the panel for some reason keeps in flight editor keeps freezing up and turning the program off.Kind regards,Bill

I am working on a plane and just did a virtual cockpit and I am finding that it is invisible during outside views, when looking into the windows, it isnt there. Yet, when I go 'into' the cabin, it is there, all the seats and such. I found also that the models are still seperate in FSDS V2 and I have not been able to find a way to join them, yet they are saved together.Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or missing? I would be gratefull. PS, how do you get such awesome VC panels??? Is it just textures?Bill

I'm using Microsoft's FS 2002 Professional, and I wasn't too impressed with the cockpit's interior views of the Boeing 737 that came with the product, so I downloaded a more realistic looking panel and cockpit interior views for the aircraft, and I replaced the default Panel.cfg with one that's an alias to a panel folder that I use for other 737-400 aircraft that I've added. The problem I'm having is, when I use the arrow keys to pan around the flight deck, I'm still getting the old ugly default interior views along with the new realistic views mixed in, even though I completely removed all of the bitmap panel files of the Boeing 737-400 from its panel folder. I have a se…

Hi all,OK, this is my first posting on the Avsim forums so try to be gentle.TO cut a long story short, I have been trying to model the new Bear360 (my first attempt at GMAX) and for cannot get transparency to work on the canopy. I am trying to do it using the material editor (opacity at 35%) but when exported to FS2002 it renders it as a solid material (I even applied the same texture to the body of the aircraft to see if it was problem with my mesh).Anyway, I have attached the GMAX file below if you want to have a look and see if you can give me some pointers, I have already done countless searches on this forum (and the internet) and have followed tutorials but haveing …

How is the technique for VC gauge backlighting accomplished in FSDS2? Obviously I've mastered the technique in GMax, but I don't have a clue about what the trick is in FSDS2.TIA for any assistance! :)BillAVSIM OmbudsmanFounder and Director,Creative Recycling of Aircraft Partshttp://catholic-hymns.com/frbill/FS2002/images/fartslogo.jpg

Hey all --Quick question, I am trying to figure out what font to use in a boeing 747-400 cockpit. Is the correct font: Futura Medium Condensed? And if it is, where can I get ahold of this font for free, and if I can't get it for free, what is a good alternate font?Thanks

I have built a panel for Ab320 serie which works perfectly.My Problem:I intend to make the 7 side and back views work in a semi-panoramical cabin.(Fixed Window32=REAR_LEFTFixed Window33=REAR_RIGHTFixed Window34=RIGHTFixed Window35=FORWARD_RIGHT,................etc)everything work except when I add the back window (for ex.(Windows38=REAR). At this time, one of the side windows, left or right according to the present humour of FS2002, takes the image of the

You may already know that I have developed many gauges in C. If not, you can have a look at my web site.I'd like to know how I can use Visual C++ environment in a "standard" way to develop C gauges. I mean, instead of using the FS SDK way of including C file into another one (#include "xxx.c"), I'd like to use the multiple source management offered by Visual C++. Instead of re-compiling the whole source code, this allows to re-compile only the modified C files.I don't know how to manage this because the Microsoft macros are quite complex...Thanks for any help !!

Hi all, Don Moser. I use Model View and Poly Fix to find polys and color non-textured parts on older planes. What can one use to do the same to GMax and newer FSDS2 planes? Thanks! :)Don

Hi simmers.I have a RPM Indicator reading problem and don't know how to fix it.Steven Grant's DHC-3 Otter 1000F has a max_rated_rpm of 2200 in aircraft.cfg and the reading stop at 1500. I changed it in *.cfg and tried different datas in *.air file but without any success.Is there somebody who can tell me what and where modifications I have to do to fix it?Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hey everyone. I finally found Chuck Dome's Gauge Bitmap 2 program, but i'm having a problem. The readme mentions the need to have the Visual Basic 5.0 or later drivers installed, which I have done(6.0). The program gives me this error when I attempt to export a bmp from a gauge:Run-time error '75'Path/File access errorAny ideas? Would the fact that I have 2 Win XP installations on 2 different drive partions, and FS on another have anything to do with this? Thanks.

First, I'm learning the Gmax to make the airplane, but hassome questions of Gmax now!Question:1.How to do in Gmax, and the model has highlight effect inFs2002?2.How to do in Gmax, and the Virtual Cockpit view can viewthe wing in FS2002?Thanks for fly fans!

i have been sent out by projectgmax to find and "hire" the most experienced freeware and payware designers out there. projectgmax is doing this as part of their revamp since the new management take over. projectgmax is no longer what it was and is NOT the same projectgmax as the other Project GMax. (they use different titles, new members, management, graphix designers..etc)if you are intereseted in joining projectgmax for aircraft, fde, cfg, air, scenery and anyother form of design please feel free to do so!i will forward the emails to projectgmax just email me, and i will "interview" you via email you to see if you qualify for them.here is their qualifications list:1. de…

Just so folks know.... FSDS 2 doesn't seem to like the latest Detonator 44.03 Nvidia drivers. After installing them FSDS 2 would not start. I went back to the 41.09's and the program works againBrian

I have tried to make somekind of timer code. When you switch battery on there is a light that should light up for 60 seconds and then it should go off. I haven't got it working. How is that done?And is there a possibility to do a blinking light? There is a switch to turn it on and off?

[fontsize=-2]Is it not possible to only select the main left and right tanks without selecting the Aux tanks at the same time? Is there any way that the Aux tanks could keep their current fuel level until otherwise selected via a C gauge working with variables from FSUIPC? I'm not very impressed (after just finding out :-roll) that selecting the 'Left' position burns fuel for the A tanks at the same time ! :-madIf anyone has any ideas how one could work around this I would really appreciate it.

Has anyone tried the new EasyGauge program demo? I downloaded it but it asked to install some other program, which I was leery of. Is it any good? thanks, Bob.

i'm looking for someone willing to do a FlightFX photoreal Continental Airlines with the gray wing textures (the wing looks so ugly)thank you!(us a gray color thats like the one on the T.U 737-800/900 models)
