[Flightgear-devel] new Cessna Altimeter
Hello everybody, I have been working on a new version of the Cessna Altimeter with the dual unit Kollsman window. This is to scale with the best photograph I have of such instrument. However I would like to play with the line thickness and the font to improve the legibility. Also, to match the line thickness on the VSI. I have put a few snapshots starting on https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/VYcfa0LupUKCUSlxoK62wrtBKth8brfvXTX_6GVpOLg?feat=directlink The last picture of the album shows the artwork for the dual unit baro scale. I would appreciate if someone could check that I haven't made any mistake with the inHg / HPa conversion. Please send feedback as usual.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] new Cessna Altimeter
Hey. Would this be helpful? http://gallery.tigert.com/gallery/gauges/aab?full=1 The photo was taken by me years ago and I can license it as GPL if you want. Feel free to use it as a texture if you find it helpful. Btw, we had QNH of 1055 hPa last week and the local aviation forum discussions had one commenter check his altimeter which had a scale of 945 to 1050 hPa. How's the scale on yours? //Tuomas On 1 February 2012 22:12, Stephan Bourgeois stepha...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello everybody, I have been working on a new version of the Cessna Altimeter with the dual unit Kollsman window.

Hello Fred, I have managed compiling LaRCsim. ENABLE_LARCSIM:BOOL=ON and ENABLE_UIUC_MODEL:BOOL=ON are the required settings. Everything works fine! Thanks for your help!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] new Cessna Altimeter
Actually, heck. I have some more too, if someone finds them useful. These were taken from a piper sales promo event at our airport in 2003 (time flies... :-)) where they promoted the new piper Saratoga and Archer. They are the new interior/panel style but pre-GarminG1000 age. So, kinda recent steam gauges. These gauges are pretty generic anyway, so maybe they are useful as generic gauge textures in fgfs..? https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2730444/1/fgfs?h=f79f9e The gauges included are: - artificial horizon - altimeter - vor gauge (garmin) - VSI - rpm gauge - directional gyro - turn / bank - combo oil press / temp, fuel pressure - fuel qty - airspeed for Piper Archer - gyro suction - egt big gauge (strange variant :)) - clock - ADF - Piper Saratoga artificial horizon / hsi combo -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
