Hi, I want to copy some gauges from the super 80 to another plane uaing fs panel studio, but whenever i select the gauge in question from the list it appears incorrectly normally back with Magneta (pink) boxes somewhere on the gauge. On the help i found this:
Gauge does not have a static Bitmap Resource
The Gauge file exists, but it doesn't internally specify a static bitmap resource. The static bitmap is the bitmap displayed on the face of the gauge when it's first displayed by the simulator. This is only a warning -- a gauge designer may choose to draw the gauge totally dynamically, using moving elements such as needles, or the gauge may only exist to supply a sound effect. Some Gauges may only consist of drawn text, and have no background bitmap.
FS Panel Studio cannot display the bitmap, but will display the Gauge as a magenta outline
The screenshot ive uploaded shows which gauges i want, box number 1 is the stall, master caution and warning lights i think, box number 2 is the GPWS and something to do with takeoffs, box number 3 is some lights which flash when i disengage the AP or AT. I'll have to change the sound files aswell for the stall and overspeed plus AP disengage i think, but dont know about the GPWS it should play by itself, just wondering if the Incorrect takeoff alert is also caused by the GPWS?
Just wondering if anyone knows whats going wrong and should i see if it works in FS? is it just Panel Studio's fault?
Thanks
