Maybe

Gregory could tell us how incorporate it on our panels :) It would be a
discussion piece.

Thanks for the compliment mike.. not much of a gauge programmer tho.
you could save the jpg file.. then open up a panel in FSPanel.. click
on existing Fuel gauge.. hit Edit.. the replace the gauge bitmap with
the NEW fuel gauge. also would need to edit the `pointer works'
bitmap.

maybe a `gauge guy' could better help out with this task.. change
lower scale to read `airline stock price'. how about a `sold short'
proceeds gauge??

Got a new DC3 2D panel with the new gauge. That was pretty straightforward.
Simply paste the additinal gauge graphic on the existing panel background
bitmap file. I made a backup of the original bmp file.

I wonder if it can be done on the VD view? Take a look.

Er, it's not very realistic at all as designed...

Although I would LOVE to have a gauge that put money in my wallet as the
gas tank got emptier... ;)

I didn't say "VD", did I? Boy, I'm a bad typist! "VC"!

Hi mikepic,

That looks like a Lawn Dart landing coming up there in that screenshot,
mate! :))

Or take-off ( I believe they're interchangeable in her case! ). :)
