Hi All,I'm still working on my TMS and have another problem with the mouseclicks. Is it possible to inc or dec a L: value with the mouse in 10 steps?(L:TMS_TGT_Set, percent) 900 > if{ quit } els{ (L:TMS_TGT_Set, percent) ++ (>L:TMS_TGT_Set, percent) }(L:TMS_TGT_Set, percent) 000 < if{ quit } els{ (L:TMS_TGT_Set, percent) -- (>L:TMS_TGT_Set, percent) }The above example works very good but it increases or decreases the value just step by step. This is very drudgingly and your finger doze off if you want to select a value of 480 or 650 for example. It's not necessary here to select values of 482 or 655. Would be great if I could inc or dec the value in 10 Steps (…

Hey,It's been kinda slow around here...so how bout all you guys take a break and show us how your projects are coming along.I started this about 2 or 3 weeks ago, its a homebuilt called a BD-5.21 ft wingspan and weighs a whoppin 900lbs fully loaded. There's a jet version that goes over 300mph.http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dbb05d54c2bb4f0.jpganimated visorhttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dbb06364d7f2586.jpgMight have to do somthing bout that seat belt...ouch.http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dbb07f853229d7a.jpgThe head rotates with the rudder and his left arm follows throttle response.http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dbb06cf4fdfb173.jpgHEL…

These two gauges...bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio APcessna!Heading_IndicatorIn the Beaver: (the problem plane)When clicking on the DG to change heading, the heading bug moves about 10 degrees per click.When clicking on the Autopilot, the altitude changes in thousands of feet per click.In the Beech G-18:When clicking on the DG to change heading, the heading bug moves 1 degree per click.When clicking on the Autopilot, the altitude changes in hundreds of feet per click.This happens when either clicking the left button or scrolling the wheel on the mouse. I can switch, mid-flight, from one plane to the other and it still happens.Questions:Is there something in panel.cfg…

Hi All,I have a small problem with a XML Gauge. The Gauge contens different switch areas for one L: element:(L:TMS Modes,enum)What I want now is, that I have different Mouseclickareas for each Case number:TMS Toga Mode(L:TMS Modes,enum) == 1(different areas for Case 2 to 5)How can I programm the Gauge that in, let's say area 1, I switch on or off Case 1 and in another area I switch on or off Case 2, 3 and so on. Off means always Case 0. I've tried the above Version with == 1 and =1 and (1 ( L:TMS Modes,enum) but nothing seems to work. Hope someone could help.Best RegardsMatthias

Anybody know of a good gauge building program for FS2K2?Thanks in advancehttp://www3.telus.net/dport1/dansig.jpg

hi all,Does any one know why sometimes you get an Include File Error when exporting after application of a texture?Its very weird...because it goes away when I cloned the interior and exported both...If I remove the texture I can export fine...Hoped someones seen this...It takes twice as long to compile this way, not a big deal really.Justin Terested

I have started to teach myself about panels/gauges - and I have been doing this by modifying/adding to/subtracting from panels that I already have. For example, one panel did not have an ADF so I have added one.Now, can anybody tell me if there is a way to "examine" what gauges I have inside my gauges folder. I have downloaded quite a few aircraft over the last year and have a lot of extra gauges. For example I have a number of VOR1 gauges -- but don't know what each one looks like.Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance Barry

ASADesigns is looking for dedicated GMax designers that would join us to create GMax Aircraft and Scenery.Right now we have our MD80 waiting for some designer(s) to work on it so we can get it out to the public and Virtual Airlines.Here is the MD80 so far about 70% the PAX door is already cut out. and the tail may not be changed:) and the wing antennas hafta stay:) the wings might need to be moved up a little.Email: [email protected]: BoeingPilot14-Alex

Anyone know of AI versions of these planes? I've gotten the PAI and AI editing down, filled up McChord full of C-17s and my frame rate went to hell. I imagine the plane is just too complex for an AI plane. Anyone know of these planes in an AI version or anyone planning on doing it anytime soon? Thanks alot!

Hi!I just wonder if any1 has made FS models with other progs. than Gmax?Myself I'm using Maya 4.0, what is the best way to do this? Export to *.x and load into MakeMDL, or get an 3ds exporter and load it into Gmax? Pros and cons?PlasmaTo fly, or not to fly. That's the question

Hi!I'm at the texturing stage in my team's Socata Project, and I've been having a devil of a time texturing the fuselage.How does one texture only the outside of a cylindrical object (i.e., fuselage) without having the texture applied to the inside???I've read a very new tutorial on "Using multi-material ID's" but it is geared towards creating a multi-material texture for a building's outside...

Hi All:I am new to plane design, would love to basic help in starting off. I would like to design a EMB 120. I don't know alot of about using GMAX would love some basic information on how to start off. Thanks for the help.Charles

Hi All: Well, for almost two months I have thought I was just days away from uploading the below Citation Bravo. So, I am a little reluctant to say I am just days away from uploading this thing, but really, I expect to upload the day after tomorrow, October 29. I hope this first version, (I will continue to work on her), will not be TOO BASIC. Kaydub

This gmax program is petty tricky. I want to texture this aircraft in gmax but, I need help with understanding why my textures don't show up in Fs2002. I have read "YEODESIGNS WORKSHOP TUTORIALS and followed the directions. In that WORKSHOP TUTORIAL it does not state how to save/name the texture. I have put that exact same file that I used in gmax in my aircraft texture folder but it doesn't acknowledge the images/textures. Also, for some reason gmax will not allow me to put a image/texture in gmax that has any alpha...etc. converting done to it. Can somebody out the help me please?

I know I've seen this topic before, and I am certain there is a solution, but at the moment, both have escaped me. I've been doing some work on the float versions of my upcoming Beaver project. Where should I look to help un-stick my float planes in the water? They will go now, but not until full throttle is applied.

Hello,I was wondering if there is anyone in the Rochester, NY area that knows C or C++ and would like to start up a flight sim project. If so please send me an email. I am looking to start up a few projects but I want some involvement from other people. Thanks,

HiI've run into a problem trying to display the % character inside a custom tooltip. The tooltip definitionWindow Defroster (%((L:Var1Slider,number) 100 * near)%!d!$)will give me "Window Defroster (50$)", but increasing to 37 doesn't give me the % sign, as expected. I've only checked with the character map util to find its code, even 176 yields

Does anybody have and suggestions on the problem with the AA 777. I recently downloaded it, and when you go to land, it skids to a stop. It's as if there are no main landing gear upon touchdown.

Hello there!I just need to vent a little frustration here, because everytime I want to get some serious help, my messages won't even be read by anyone.I can't understand this fact. I'm sure there are loads of competent people in this forum, so why can't even one of these persons just read my messages? Even when I use the words "Please read" in my topic, not even ONE person will read it. So, I want to ask at this point what I have to do, that my postings will be read by anyone.BestChrisThat's my original message again hoping that someone will read it now:Since the Fs2002 came out and the first people started to experiment i tried to add engine exhaust smoke to the AI Plane…

HiI have been simming for years but have decided to take the plunge into designing panels. I have found that there is s severe lackage of panels that I personally like. More time would appear to be spent nowadays on howe the plane looks from the exterior, but compared to the amount of time that you look at the panel it would appear to me that the panel requires the most work - wellI have downloaded FS Panel Studio I have paint shop pro, and I have downloaded the sdk's from Fsim 2000 - there would not appear to be any for 2002 yet.I am away to futter and see what I can come up with - any help tips pointers etc would really be appreciated.DavyC

Hi,Is it possible to activate a C-Gauge with an XML-gauge?PH-JVH

thank you for reading this, I am in the process of updating all Icelandis non FS2002 planes into a 2002 format. I have problems with this F-27. I have used Espen .air, aircraft.cfg and panel files for it but the icelandic textures. The plane works apart from this problem, it sinks into the ground, even then I can taxi it.Who know how to solve this ?Regard
