Sorry, comment was made in reference to graphics for these views. I question the necessity for them. Will the addition of graphics for these views overly hamper the pilots ability to keep a lookout?
Those views in the P38 will be improved in my final design. Until I have actual photographs taken from where the pilot's head would be, in a 360° coverage, what is present is what I'll be using.
exec....updated front in final steps. Need .vew with these pics. Thx. http://www.mediafire.com/?332iu722grr30o2
Ok, guess what? Yep, this is my final P38 cockpit draft. I went through all the images and synchronized/standardized the palettes for color coordination and transparency equality. It's all in 256 color, *.bmp format for all to look over. Let me know if there is anything I missed that needs fixing. P38 Cockpit
In case anyone with PSP wants to use the same palette to create or edit, here are some files: Here is the Paint Shop Pro 7 palette I used for most of the images. Some images I had to edit the palette because some pixels were standing out too much. Since I'm fairly picky about that sort of thing, I went and edited the palettes and most images above share the same palette but, some I had to manually change due to shared pixel colors. You'll see that in the color palette selection bar. http://www.mediafire.com/?c8sc3c4l0wbhwov Here are some notes for PSP7 http://www.mediafire.com/?e9a236nb6ni43c1
exec... If you could create a new .vew file for this final draft, I can test it and see how it looks. Will it take a while to adjust the gauge needles and other data?
Is it possible you could send me the program that makes that .vew file or is it just programming? I noticed some of the other cockpits we have need some editing/updating as well and I would like to try working on those too.
My intentions?? Hmm....I want to fly with transparent cockpits My intention is to be able to see what the cockpit will look like after I make changes. Otherwise, I get too far into changing a cockpit and find out it's not fitting correctly or colors/patterns are wrong, and I have to start over sometimes. BTW....revised again for some issues and other tweaking.... http://www.mediafire.com/?gi3q60pxc0z6myz Need another .vew with these updated images. Thanks.
do you know that engine gauge of 38 is a single one for two engines? http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/other-mechanical-systems-tech/p-38-flight-manual-9691.html i don't mind you separated it into two gauges. just inform you that IRL it was one.
Yes, and I know the P-38 had two gauges for Left tank, Right tank and Front tank, Rear tank. Any fuel leak drains all 4 tanks. (maybe we can meet halfway and cause fuel leak to drain half of current fuel level while flying?) I could design a single gauge that incorporates dual RPM function like the Temp and Oil. I thought of that. I could also create a single gauge with L/R fuel tanks.
