Cockpit panel drawings
-
@Raptor - just wondering if this is still a WIP?
-
@Zeus - actually, if you want the graphics you can pull them directly from the file structure in BMS and do anything you want with them in Photoshop, GIMP, or some such.
-
@Stevie - That would be perfect…can you point me in the right direction? Are they just dds files or what do you mean by file structure?
-
@Zeus - they are in your BMS installation folder - from there,
/Data/Art/CkptArt I was going to
From there the files are all apparent by name. I think I pulled them out of Falcon as .jpg, but under BMS now they are .dat files of some sort. But I’m looking at them from my Mac, and it may be lying to me - I know I pulled .jpg or .png from my Falcon 4.0 install some time ago, but I may have had to be booted into Win to do it…I’ll check. I was going to use them to make gage faces…
OTOH, you could also use this drawing -

@Micro_440th - thanks, but I’ve been using those for the last couple pits refreshes I have done but they are getting outdated. For example, Aux Comm vs IFF, the Ext Lighting, etc. I mean they are pretty good and a great place to start but I was hoping to do a perfect match on my next version so if there is a way to get exactly what is used in-sim, that would be awesome.
@Stevie - All I see in there are the dat files and those clearly assume some graphic image, but I can’t seem to find any specific refence to whatever that image is or where its coming from. I’ll keep digging and thanks for the help possibly pointing me in the right direction.

@Zeus
xflight.de?
Looks like Martin’s/Pegasus’ work so might be best to contact him as he is the best person to help you out. -
I wonder if you could copy what you wanted from dds 8015 and print that.
Probably the quality would be substandard. ? -
@Zeus The renderings provided in the Cockpit Interaction Guide are made and therefore also copyrighted by Pegasus (the guy behind xflight.de).

@Korbi - Thanks…will reach out to him.
@Badger - thanks, that might be what I’m looking for.
I’m just curious, the 3D pit has to get that content from somewhere. If there was a way to tap into that I could probably do the rest. Maybe I just need to comb through the DDS files more.
This will get me started though.
Thanks all.

@Zeus - yes. As mentioned, I pulled all sorts of graphics out of Falcon 4.0 Art some years back and was able to open them, modify them, re-save them…but I can’t recall just how I did that or what I used to open them.

As I said, check DDS 8015
