Title: Panel making prog
Post by: Jh1 on 23 March 2003, 17:35:06
K i have a great idea and could be done the same way as vinka's spacecraft dll

Why not build a panel making prog like in fs2002 fsedit ????
 Have a selection of gauges and just import there location via a txt file something like this

Panel cfg for deltaglider

Background :- BAckground.bmp

Gauges (2)

Gauge 1: ADI (1,1,1)

Gauge 2: (1,5,1)

End
       
(x,y,size)

Then all people have to do is make button gauges

Config for HUD power button

Button state1 : Button1.bmp
Button state2 : Button2.bmp

Action1: HUD off
Action2: HUD on

End

What do you lot think personaly, it will increase the quality of addon's and can be done on the
lines of vinka spacecraft.dll and will allow us others who are not very good at programing but are
superb at making meshs will improve the otherall standard of the sim to all.

Nobody as done this yet because it will be an hugh job, there is no
"instrument" for now in Orbiter so all is to do in this domain and last
if martin decide of any change there is great chance that your work
will be useless.

My main fear here would be martin's change, But of course ITS
possible to do :)
