Re: Is there a better way to simulate instrument lights?

Do you have a reference image of how this looks in real life? I might be able to help if I could find an image from the real plane lighting system.

Re: WIP PMDG 737-700 for MSFS2020

Hi, Another way is to overlay a canvas_draw() with all the markings and color codes. my_scale = canvas_add(0,0,500,500) canvas_draw(my_scale,function() for i = 1,20 do _arc(250,250,335+(i*10),336+(i*10), 180) _stroke("green",12) end for i = 1,20 do _arc(250,250,340+(i*10),341+(i*10), 178)...

Re: WIP PMDG 737-700 for MSFS2020

You can also type in decimal numbers by the way. If 7.2 isn't working try 7,2.
Not sure which one to use, it's probably system setting dependent.
I always do my calculations in the input fields. e.g. 360/50 followed by enter makes the calculation itself to 7,2.

Re: WIP PMDG 737-700 for MSFS2020

Out of interest, when you are making the grouped Bezier 'curves' (straight lines) for the tick marks, then how are you controlling the exact angle of rotation of each line ? Hey Joe, dad is doing 'fine' seeing the circumstances. Thanks for your concerns. Regards the angle of rotation. I hope I unde...

A second example but this time with the cog tool. Perhaps there is a even better way of doing it, but this is what pops to my mind.

Here is a quick example how I would made a radial (in this case) while keeping everything editable in a pretty fast way.

Re: WIP PMDG 737-700 for MSFS2020

Hey guys, sorry for late response. I'm probably not gonna be online/responsive for a while. My father had a cardiac emergency today (after they discovered a big aneurism combined with several side problems in his main heart artery 2 weeks ago). As you understand, I need to route my focus toward my f...

Re: WIP PMDG 737-700 for MSFS2020

Wow that was fast :mrgreen: I personally rolled into the software because I needed a somewhat Adobe-like capable tool that didn't cost me the full Adobe price. The price Affinity is asking was still reasonable to me, and it keeps improving so. Sure there will be some hiccups here and there or some l...

Re: WIP PMDG 737-700 for MSFS2020

One thing I forgot to ask Joe, because I really don't know. Does Skinman support symbols? With symbols I mean what is in some graphic programs called components. The idea is to give an example. You have 26 buttons/switches in a design that are all the same except for the text label next to them or o...
