Hi All

Happy New Year. I hoped someone might be able to help me out with a little request please….

I’m trying to recreate a PA44 Piper Seminole in FSX for IFR training purposes. I stared with ‘fsxpipsm’ PA44 by Rien Cornelissen and have for the most part replicated the PA44 to be used (ZK-MBV). The only thing I can find/configure is a ‘twin needle’ RPM gauge. None of the other a/c in my FSX installation seem to have one and I can’t find one on-line! I’m also looking for a dual needle ADF.

Does anyone have any idea where I can acquire a ‘twin needle’ RPM gauge. Any help will be gratefully received. I’ve no idea where to even start creating one from scratch.

Many thanks for any help.
Herc

There is one in Rob Richardson's Cessna 310. (RPM, that is)

Thanks.

I've had a look but for the life of me can't find where it's referenced in the panel.cfg file sad.gif

Never thought to look wub.gif
However the default DC-3 and the Jahn Team developments of it have twin-needle RPM instruments and they can be seen in the panel.cfg.
There is also a two-needle RMI, and I think that reads whatever you set up in the [radios] part of the aircraft.cfg.

Two individual gauges, one for each engine.

Hi, I am in the process of getting some custom multi-needle gauges from flight illusion for my Piper Seneca PA34-200T simulator, so watch this space and there may be some available soon.

Ive just realised that you are looking for the software type not hardware type, lol

Good to know. I've finished my (re)build now. I ended up getting everything I needed from a C310R.
Yes indeed, just software.
