Crazy Wild Idea for the A380 VC

Post by karlli1221 » 20 Aug 2011, 14:57

Hello simmers,
So I was browsing throught new files on flightsim.com and I came across an A380 2D panel. (a380_panel.zip) It's a shame that it's for FS98 but what I found useful was there's a (Gauge?) which is actually a camera from the tail (like the real A380) so I thought the PA team could do with the (Gauge?) because it's already made and it can either replace either the E/WD or the lower ECAM (unlikely) or they can modify the Gauge for the E/WD+ECAM so they are the same thing and add that camera (Gauge?) to the VC.

Anyways, that was some damn crazy wild idea :D

Damn! You're good! It is looking great! It would be nice to see it in the VC!

Only if someone could make this gauge MSFS9/X compatible & map it for the PA A380 VC!!

I spent hours digging out the gauge for FS98 and found it's not compatible with FSX :(...

I shal tell PA to make it from scratch! these views are present in fsx wingview known as "tail" & "nose wheel". if some one can make a camera gauge out of it, n program it with the PFD, it's done!!

My request was merge the buggy ECAM with the buggy E/WD to make it less buggy then move it to the E/WD place and place this camera gauge in the ECAM JUST LIKE THE REAL ONE (but shhhhh! this is only some crazy idea :lol: i really doubt if the PA team would change it :cry: )

1- Can't be done in FS9 to my knowledge

2- We won't be converting the VC for FSX any time soon

3- Buggy ECAM? Buggy E/WD? What?

4- Why don't you try your hand it?

Texture artist. Right. Were you born a 'texture artist'?

Then what's stopping you from creating gauges?

I'm sorry if my suggestion or comment was offensive :( You are the expert here so I won't say much more than some friendly suggestions because I'm no expert in anything. And to keep things short, I will reply in bullet points too ;) .
So 1- That's ok. If it's a limitation of the FS, it's out of your hands too. You can't do much about it and I can understand that.
2- I don't mind if you don't convert the VC for FSX as my VC is working in FSX perfectly without anything wrong (apart from a few small.. shall we call them glitches? stated below) But what I thought was if the gauge could be done in FSX, can a gauge file (container? .CAB or .GAU) be released as a standalone PA gauge?
3-This picture here:
Image
There is a black rectangle on the bottom right of the ECAM, only the numbers remain there. It's not much of an issue but it flickers so sometimes it could be annoying. I'm just reporting this flicker but I'm not saying anything like "FIX IT!" because I hardly look at the FF anyway :? .
This is also something I have noticed:
Image
The numbers are displaced when I switch to other pages of the ECAM but of course I can just look a few pixels down at the GW when I decide whether I'm over the MLW or not, so like I said, I seriously don't mind if you don't change it.
I only said the E/WD was buggy because when the VC was publicly about 3 days old, it looked like nobody could get the E/WD working in the VC, and I'm sorry for that.
4-Believe me, I have looked really hard on the internet about gauges but nothing even close to a camera gauge. Can you point me a direction which could get me started?
Thanks PA team and I have always thought the Project Airbuses were the best partly because of the extensive support given on these forums.

Karlli, I had come across a camera gauge in the appache helicopter, so it is possible to create a cam gauge! but IDK how exactly!
