Cabri G2 EPM
My first instrument project is underway. Trying to work out the rotor speed and engine RPM needles as its not linear.....

Re: Cabri G2 EPM
Great work and new design not already seen in available instruments
Nice to start a work on this rotorcraft
Just in any case, do you plan to publish it at some point in the Online Store ?
Have fun coding on Air Manager and good flights

Re: Cabri G2 EPM
Yes I’m planning on publishing to the store once it’s finished. There is a huge amount of work to do yet and I’ve got a lot to learn but I will get there. I will post updates to this thread as I reach the milestones I’ve set.
I mainly fly helicopters in xplane (haven’t got the G2 yet ) and wanted to do something that wasn’t already done.

Hi,
Very nice work.
Is the instrument done in canvass draw? Or is it a png file?

Re: Cabri G2 EPM
I think this will be very nice when completed. If you need help with the non linear needle coding just let us know. There is a video made by Ralph on the YouTube channel showing the concepts. Basically it’s just treating each non linear segment differently. Quite easy really.

Re: Cabri G2 EPM
@Keith Baxter Currently png files but i plan to use canvas eventually. I will use canvas for the Fuel guage though. Mainly as a way to introduce myself to using canvas drawing rather than Png's
@Sling Thanks for the pointer on the no linear guage video. I will look it up.

Hi, When you get into canvas drawing you will enjoy what can be achieved and how easy it is to animate things like bars and pointers. Also changing colors etc.
Looking forward to your projects.

Hi,
For the linear needle stuff, please have a look at this function:
http://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.ph ... ate_linear
It is introduced with AM 3.7, so would need to run the AM 3.7 BETA for it to work.

I've just watched Ralf's video and it looks like i was on the right track and this new method for 3.7 looks to make it simpler. Thanks for the heads up @Corjan
