Hello All:
I am trying to make a proper NS C40-9W cab. I have a background pic and that works fine, and am now modifying controls and what not. I have run inot some problems though:
1) I cant get an ammeter dial to work properly.
2) The bell.ace wont save as it looks in the btimap file
3)When I place something in the cab editor, it is in a different place in the sim.
4)I cant get the air guages to work right
5)The speedometer in NS units is a circle about10: across with LED lights that light up the speed form 0-10 then thye change to 0-80 or something. It has a digital readout as well in the middle. Can I model a speedometer that is like this with the LEDs that light as the train goes faster?
6) I need to make air guages not only of the needle type, but of the computer bar-graph type as in the BNSF dash 9 as well. How do I do this?Any help on any of these is much appreciated as I want a realistic cab for NS units that I can upload for all of you to use!
Please help!!Thanks

Kevin V.

Well if Concaddy (John Rosh) would ever get off his butt and quit worrying about silly things like supporting his family... We made him a dash 9 control stand for his NS engines some time back.... Go beat on him!

Thanks for the info-
an update-the background is done and I have new bell, horn, sander, and train brake lever finished along with digital speedometer. But yes, I still have a long way to go...look at the problem I have in the post I just put up called "Question"
