Very good. I wish you lived next door. I guess I have a long hill to climb to get you your level.
Not surprised to read that most of your panels are not on Sim Innovations.
Like I said, seems to me the team there have gone missing in terms of keeping up with Instruments available for new planes. The panel creation is not so difficult. It is the instruments - knowing the code to get them to do what they are supposed to do.
If Sim Innovations had more instruments and switches for all the different planes I could make my own panels easily. It is just a pain to try and find switches and instruments in the limited repertoire available from Sim Innovations and extract the code from the scripts to insert a CLONE of different instrument or switch that I am creating for a different plane.
Like for example the fuel lever for the JMB VL3. I found one that was the correct L R OFF configuration but it would not work in the VL3… Then I found the Fuel change over lever for the Cessna 152 DID work in the VL3. … except it has a L R BOTH OFF configuration. So now I just have to create a CLONE of the Cessna fuel change over and swap the images related the the L R and OFF positions.
Maybe that will work with or without needing to delete the CODE relating to the BOTH position, but it is just messy… and that is a simple example.
I am currently modifying the switch panel for the Cessna 172 G1000 to suit my panel arrangement.
I don’t want half the stuff that is in that switch panel so I am using the CODE from the script of one of the basic grey Cessna 152 switch panels that I know works in the 172 and changing the image names to match the 172 panel The I have to change the location code so the switches sit where they are supposed to. It is such a so slow and painful process. (I can build a website quicker).
I made a switch panel for the JBM VL2 using the above method so it looks and operates just like the MSFS window.
Anyway, thanks for your pics. Maybe we can collaborate a bit… or maybe I can get some something from you for a “coffee”.
