Thank you Bob for the kind words!

It was a fun build and I admit it was challenging to engineer a few custom things.

I've been upgrading a few items to the sim, so keep an eye out for my posts of my upgrades.

I'd say if you're ever in the Chicago area, post a reply for a ride.

Hi All, As with anything, this project needs an upgrade. Specifically, upgrading from X-Plane to FS2020 and hardware to boot. I've been putting this upgrade project off because 1, I'm dreading the conversion of the PI's as well as the monitor morphing software. 2, I've been too busy flying my other ...

Thanks!

Both were a lot of fun to build and fly!

It's been awhile since building the C172 and posting to this site, but I've spent tons of hours enjoying the sim. About a year ago I was reintroduced to DCS World simming by my son who is also is a simmer. After playing with a hodgepodge of stuff to fly with I decided to add an F18 sim pit to the ba...

Hi Jacques,

Thanks for the input.

Yes, the gauge does look strange, but that's because it's from an F-14B. It's not complete, actually this is an earlier version. I just wanted to show an example for my main question regarding vertically scrolling numbers.



Sincerely,

Kevin

Thanks Guys, Yes I figure on the strip of numbers but wasn't sure how to implement. That's actually how I created the gauge but sent strips to the back of the gauge face so you can see them. Jacques, good point on the graded shading to give it more depth. Sling I'll checkout your YouTube channel and...

Hi All, So I just jumped into creating a gauge with skinman and very cool. But I was wondering how one could make a counter object like a hobbs counter. I'm pretty sure I've got the scripting part, but not sure how to tie in the graphics part. What would the best practice from a graphics perspective...

Thanks guys for the positive support! From a time standpoint I'd say I put most of my time into researching three areas before I pulled the trigger. I needed a projection system that would be immersive and the yoke and rudder control systems needed to be as real as I could make it. If I couldn't suc...

Hi all, I've spent the last eleven months building my c172 sim which has a fully functioning yoke control system, gauge panel using Sim Innovations software and a true rudder brake system found on a real c172 all built on an old bed frame and from scratch. If you're interested check out the link bel...

Hi All, While working with the paid C172SP panel with my rotary encoder that I'm using in my sim panel, I discovered while programming for the community based ADF radio knobs, they skipped digits when turning. For example only even digits were showing while turning the knob. After some troubleshooti...
