Hi folks !After a long time of trying I found out how to make my selfmade cab running.
Now I ´ve a new question. How can I create/paint some needles or other tiny displayparts which can be added in the cabeditor to my cab ?RD

Glad you have got the first step working.To move on to making your own controls and displays you do much the same as with the main image. Use your graphic editing program to make the images, including transparencies as necessary, then convert them using makeace. The main problem here is that you must use a minimum picture size of 32x32 pixels.
Use transparency to display smaller needles. For examples look at my small red and white needles in the GP9 cab or any of my speedo needles (like the GG1).-------SamSpade--------
