Does anyone have an explanation of what the a, b and c parameters do?

What I do know is that altering them results in some very peculiar results. You can end up with an ASI that goes around the clock twice and your wings still haven't fallen off :lol:

So I know they alter the movement of the needles but I've just no idea how it ties in?

In short, best to not alter these :oops:

AFAIK the needle isn't linear. These are the values that govern the non linearity of the needle. How exactly this works, no idea.

Thank you wickid :)

I've updated my tutorial on the previous page with the new information.

Some more screenshots of possibilities:

Gauge artwork and panel artwork is included here as well as the .gau file alterations.

On the Pilatus panel screenshot, you can see the mounting screws for the gauges casting a shadow onto the
panel. This helps with X-axis placement if you don't have a VR headset. The depth or separation of the shadows
from the panel roughly indicates the distance that the gauge protrudes from the panel.

Overlay the .gau file in-game using alt+tab or windows key as shown, while working on the panels.

Changes to the .gau files and artwork will show up on the NEXT flight you start from the main menu in Condor.
