Rudel_chw Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hello, Highlighting a cockpit switch, button or lever is fairly easy, just get the element name on the clickabledata.lua file and use it on the X:Cockpit Highlight Element trigger, like this: My problem is that highlighting a Gauge, is not that easy. Up to now, I've been using the X:Cockpit Highlight Point trigger, like this: But I don't know a way to obtain precise coordinates for a given Gauge. I tried to look for them using the ModelViewer utility, but couldn't figure out how to use it for that purpose. At the moment, I'm getting the coordinates by trial-error, but it is very time consuming and imprecise ... does anyone know of a better way to obtain a Gauge's point coordinates? Thanks lot for any help with this Eduardo For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiCKS-BB15 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Thanks Rudel, i understand your disapointement, there is no help. I try with ModelViewer but there id no grid visible. Just with connectors list but not useful. Otherwise, I created a mission with triggers and displaying offset "dot" lines and a small text display so I know where I stand, and then pen and paper, I correct and adjust. Like you, by trial and error. it's the only way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, by trial and error. Yes, I use a test mission to gather this type of data, like the values that some cockpit knobs deliver at each position, etc. I do record the data on a spreadsheet, so that I only have to do this work once, for example I did this one for the Saab Sk60 However, in spite of all this difficulties, I still enjoy editing training missions as it is kind of entertaining on a weird way Cheers. 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiCKS-BB15 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Ah, great, it's exactly what i'm doing with the M2K i used the TF51D mission to understand the way its working, i think it's so useful to create a training mission. Also, i don't know if I accept that anybody take our job just by taking a look in your triiggers mission, cause it's so painful and time consuming, but to share is to progress !!!
