Sludge Hornet Modifications
Tregarth:
Dear Sludge,
For info, I tried your settings
size_mm=300, 100
position=3 // 0 = upper left; 3 = left side
window_size=0.220, 0.130 // 300/1360=0.220; 100/768=0.130
background_color=0,0,0
visible=1
ident=10101
gauge00=IFLOLS!IFLOLS.xml, 0, 0, 300, 100
but the gauge was still too big for my taste.
I changed them to:
size_mm=150, 50
position=1 // 0 = upper left; 3 = left side
window_size=0.110, 0.0650 // 300/1360=0.220; 100/768=0.130 (i.e. These values were divided by 2)
background_color=0,0,0
visible=1
ident=10101
gauge00=IFLOLS!IFLOLS.xml, 0, 0, 150, 50
i.e. I divided your values by 2 to keep the same ratio. As you did I have highlighted the changes in BOLD The gauge now exactly fits into the gap between the AoA gauge and the edge of the screen. I hope this will be of help to others who want to resize the gauge.
One other point; on a 3 screen system the positions you refer to are as follows
Screen 1 Screen 2 Screen 3
Left edge Middle Right edge
Top 0 1 2
Middle 3 4 5
Bottom 6 7 8
I hope this makes sense.

Hey, if that works, then right on. And thanks for posting the values for others that wanna use them. Usually if you have a question, someone else did as well, and just may not have asked it? Or a Sludge Hornet newbie might come on today and find your numbers useful?
And thanks for the gauge position matrix for 3 monitors. Good to see you do some experimenting. The more you do it, the more comfortable you'll get with mods. Thats how I started, and look where I am now.
Anyway, if youre up for some sideseat flying, let me know... we can setup a weekend session, and I can see where you've progressed in holding altitude using the throttle and how you are in the landing phase.
Later

Dear Sludge,
At the risk of being tedious, I have found that on my monitor (which is 1360 x 768) if the following lines are changed as follows
size_mm=100, 50
window_size=0.730, 0.0650
gauge00=.........0, 0, 150, 50
I have a really nice set of lights which sit brilliantly on the screen , they are not at all "overpowering", are very realistic and work extremely well. They are a real credit to all the work which went in to creating them.
Whilst in the pub with my wife I also had a flash of brilliance, change the line position=3 to 3.75, then the lights will appear toward the centre of the screen. Didn't work, clearly this command only likes integers.
Who said romance was dead? Back to the cider.
Thanks again,
Tregarth

Thank you for this; I have always maintained (and tell my wife) this is a very erudite and informative site. My education has been improved.
Cheers!
