Hi Gux, first of all congratulations for this wonderful work !! (both, plane and pit) .
Sorry if I am giving you codes that you already have tried, but in Mirage Factory´s F-18 pit appears these lines:
[Tachometer1]
Type=TACHOMETER
CounterNodeFormat=RPM_L_dig%d
MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER
ItemNumber=1
Scale=100
[Tachometer2]
Type=TACHOMETER
CounterNodeFormat=RPM_R_dig%d
MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER
ItemNumber=2
Scale=100
-------------------------------------------------------------
[EngineTemp1]
Type=EXHAUST_GAS_TEMPERATURE_INDICATOR
CounterNodeFormat=T4_L_dig%d
MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER
ItemNumber=1
[EngineTemp2]
Type=EXHAUST_GAS_TEMPERATURE_INDICATOR
CounterNodeFormat=T4_R_dig%d
MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER
ItemNumber=2
(obiously, Gripen has only one engine, so...)
By the way, some questions/suggestions:
-where are you going to place the RWR?.
-Have you considered to include a course heading, compass,etc.. in the left MFD?. I´ve seen a picture of a different status of this MFD (thought you lose the engine data, grrr... )
-In MF F-18, when you change from AA,AG and NAV modes, some date changes too on the center console (airspeed, true speed...). This fact allows to "emulate" a little of the spirit of a MFD.There is some way to change, for example, the map of the center MFD(Navigation mode) for another status(AA or AG)?
Thanks a lot and good luck!!
