Hi there, I would like to add some instrument to an aircraft and some of the instruments are a bit large for the spots I would place them in. Is there a way to adjust the scale of these instrument files? Inside Flightgear itself would be great but any method would be appreciated. Thanks for any information on this.
are you keeping the craft true to life? that's an important aspect to consider...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up." "Why not?" said Gurder. "Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
I am, I'm only adding a few instruments based on photos of the cockpit interior. The plane as it is now is missing a good amount of them, I'm only looking to add a couple more.
You can use a scale animation, this is e.g. one I use to make 80mm instruments to 57mm as e.g. variometers in gliders sometimes have the one standard and sometimes the other:
There are miniature instruments used as backups. I flew a 1900 that had a small 1 1/2 inch battery powered AH. I have flown many aircraft, and none were ever "true to life". Most had been customised by many of the previous owners. The limitation to what equipment was installed, was usually financial.. With FG, I can theoretically install anything in anything...It is great
