A380 VC Merging

Post by Alexis »

If you want to merge the A380 VC with any other panel (Francois' new gauges, Aerosoft, Wilco e.t.c.)and have a hard time decoding the VCockpit section, here's the [VCockpit01] map.
Image

The gauge layout is generally as follows:

Code: Select all

[VCockpitXX]
...
...
...
...
gaugexx=gauge_name!instrument_name X1,Y1,X2,Y2
XX and xx: incremental number (00, 01, 02, 03 e.t.c.)
gauge_name: the folder, .gau or .cab file that contains the instruments. For example, Lear_45_XML
! : Separator
instrument_name: for example, EICAS
X1,Y1: Top left corner coordinates of the gauge on the VCockpitXX texture.
X2,Y2: Bottom right corner coordinates of the gauge on the VCockpitXX texture.
Coordinates are measured from the top-left corner of the VCockpit texture, in pixels.
If a gauge appears squashed/stretched, you need to change the coordinates of either X1,Y1 or X2,Y2 to adjust its aspect. You should use gauges that fit in the given layout though, unless you want the HUD to be displayed half on the glass and half on the ND

Example:

Code: Select all

[Vcockpit01]
file=Lear_Gray.bmp
Background_color=0,0,0 
size_mm=512,512
visible=1
pixel_size=512,512
gauge00=Lear_45_XML!EICAS,  			2,2,266,373
