    HiI have started to incorporate (A:ADF1 signal,number) and similar into my avionics gauges in an attempt to simulate real(er) world reception, but I'm not confident enough on how the real things actually work and respond to this.I've noticed that the normal avionics builtin is "triggered" with a signal strenght of 256, and it grows exponentially the closer you get to the station. The needles will contain no errors whatsoever.Now to the questions.Should I use an on/off system for this signal, where the needle should be pointing to the station or resting at 3 o'clock, or should I inflict errors to the needle instead to illustrate signal "quality"?How does this signal "quali…

    Greetings,Hard question. About 9 years ago when the enterprize I worked for went to electronic drawings, we set about converting all of our hand drawn ink drawings to digital. I wasn't envolved in the process, big company. But I seem to recall an outside company was taking the ink drawings and scaning them and then converting them into an "iges" digital drawing format. I have the free download of ProE and it will import an iges drawing into a standard projection three view drawing. From the three view drawing it can then construct a 3D model.MY QUESTION: Is software modules available that would take the three viewing drawing similar to the drawing found at http://bl…

    Hi,I am looking for the best freeware panel (FS2002) for the A320 series aircraft. I have tried various panels avaliable, but have not found the right one for me. I am not sure if I should go for the PSS panel (payware) or not. I have heard the PSS panel is not frame rate friendly. I am not opposed to purchase the panel, but I am just wondering if it is compatible with the Project Airbus series of aircraft. Any comments?

    I've been working on one of the last pieces for the Socata Panel Project, which is a KR 87 ADF.So far, I've been unsuccessful in figuring out how to accomplish two tasks.1) Adjust the fractional tuning - .0 to .52) Provide continuous tuning +/-There seems to be no XML K: events to enable this, but even more curiously, I've been unable to determine the C++ k_events either! Obviously, there must be *some* way to do both #1 and #2, since gauges exists which do it! But, I'll be darned if I can discover how... I did read a 'hint' in Dai's gauge tutorial which made reference to tuning actually being done by the RMI, but that wasn't enough 'help' to get through my mental fog..…

    I'm new to Gmax, but have some experience with 3D programs. Currently I have gone through the P-38 tutorial, and trying some experiments. I have created a wing, fuse, and horizontal stab. If I export any single component to FS the export works fine. If I have any combination of the three together, and try to export, it gives me an export error. Could a helpful someone advise what I am missing.Bob C.

    Hi all!Just wondering if anyone who is new to GMAX (as I am) would like to start a project of building an airplane. I mean any airplane, that you feel like creating. I am pretty sure that I am not the only one who feels like being stuck in GMAX and needs someone's advise.So, if you feel like starting something new, please let me know. Hey we might end up creating something as good as POSKY's B767 :)thanks,tim.
