737-200 gauges

[roblockett]

Hi all i've just started my MIP for a B737-200adv sim i'm building i'm using three 17in monitors as displays, as the sim is not a glass cockpit i'm wondering what are the best gauges to use on the panel, I'm using the Tinmouse model and basing the sim around that is the a way of spliting the original panel display on the Tinmouse so there's no bitmap background panel, resizing the gauges so there 100% replica scale and using them? these gauges are quite realistic and things like the F/D and speed bugs would all still work.

Thanks all

Time to buy FS Panel Shop. This will allow you to do what I've done with the 727 MIP.

FS Panel shop is good software, i've just bought it myself last week.
Looking forward to getting to grips with it - it shoudl allow me to do some good things.

Ceratinly the thing for you. about £15 on the internet.

Panel Studio is definately a must for soft gauges, i agree with everyone on that!

Freedom to possition, resize, add and delete gauges etc....Brilliant Package!

Thanks guy's i've had a look but will this allow me to run it on a seperate PC the main pc is for the sim only (views)?

Just a note
Editing the panel.cfg instruments coordinates with Notepad does it too. Cost=0

[Michael Carter]

I don't think so.

PM is for networking gauges, as well as a few others. You are probably stuck with using the gauges on the main FS computer.

Use WidevieW for outside additional views.
