For those of you building cockpits

I figured out how to get the analog counters to work.

All of the digits must be named according to what they count ie:

alt_dig2,alt_dig1 (named from left to right) for a 2 digit counter as in:

 

[Altimeter]

Type=PRESSURE_ALTIMETER_2 <----the 2 is for 2 digits

NodeName=needle_alt

CounterNodeFormat=alt_dig%d

MovementType=ROTATION_Y

ValueUnit=FEET

Set[01].Position=0.0

Set[01].Value=0.0

Set[02].Position=360.0

Set[02].Value=1000.0

 

for a 3 digit altimeter they would be named

alt_dig3,alt_dig2,alt_dig1 (named from left to right)

 

[Altimeter]

Type=PRESSURE_ALTIMETER_3

NodeName=alt_needle

CounterNodeFormat=alt_dig%d

MovementType=ROTATION_Y

ValueUnit=FEET

Set[01].Position=0.0

Set[01].Value=0.0

Set[02].Position=360.0

Set[02].Value=100.0

 

the Set[02].Value corresponds to both the position of the needle and the movement of alt_dig1 so it must be 100 for a 3 digit altimeter and 1000 for a 2 digit altimeter. Otherwise the digits won't be in sync with the needle.
