Hello Ivan,
Don´t worry, there´s really no need to alter your development routine.
You are doing an admirably thorough and organized job with your new gauges, and I don´t want to interfere with that, and of course, I appreciate your offer very much.
The results of your Heinkel RPM gauge with NoDice´s bitmap work was absolutely great - and there was not only KPW.JetN2H-1.gau for engine 1, but also KPW.JetN2H-2.gau, for a possible Me262´s engine 2.
I had been trying out another pair of your experimental prop-engine 1 and 2 gauges with the AT-9 Fledgling (Jeep), those which funnily enough, at that time, needed a different bitmap depending on the plane they were used for, but were fantastic. (Could it be that the read-out perhaps was percentage RPM, as opposed to effective RPM ?).
The Default FSFS RPM gauges I always use, give a falsely high read-out until the panel has been cycled through window-view and full-screen-view. Then, if the RPM is higher than max. value, it never stops doing strange things.
Luckily that the Do17-z2´s engines are low revved and the Default FSFS 1-2 RPM gauges can be used.
Well, enough waffling!
I really don´t want to bother you, because I don´t want to put a spanner in the works.
Of course, I wouldn´t deny that I wouldn´t mind having an RPM-1 and RPM-2 gauge for the Schnellbomber, and the gauge style seems to coincide with the style of Dial-Bitmap that NoDice was using for the Heinkel - I also see it on your gauge screenshots.
Oil temp. and pressure, and manifold pressure gauges would also come in handy... but it´s too much work for now.
If I were to use such gauges, that would also put Smilo under pressure too for a nicer panel, and I don´t want to do that either. That´s why I wasn´t uploading the machine, but as it seems to be interesting after all to do so now, basically, I think it is more comfortable for everyone if I upload the Schnellbomber now with the simplified panels and standard gauges, creating no hassle for anyone else.
Later, once a new panel and new gauges are done without you and Smilo having to work on them with your tongue hanging out and wiping sweat from your brow as it were, I can release an update - that way there is another incentive for later!
Cheers,
