Hm... No gauges in VC? Seems you do not extract files from CAB. Important part of setup:
6. create folder with name "Captain_Sim.b757"
7. extract all data from "Captain_Sim.b757.CAB" file to "Captain_Sim.b757" folder.
8. !rename " Captain_Sim.b757.CAB " file to "ORIGINAL_ Captain_Sim.b757.CAB "

I suggest you to restore Backup and perform modding again.

Actually, I've found mistake in readme. Fixed.

Yeah, the readme had a mismatch between the created folder and the copy to folder with a .oh extension.  That might have been confusing to some.  Is this the error that you were talking about?  

Just to be more clear, you might also consider adding a note as to where exactly to create the new folder that the CAB contents are to be copied into (Step 6).  It might not seem obvious to some.  I am assuming that it goes into the same folder as the CAB file, ie. the Panel folder.

Yes.
I'll take a part of readme from my FuelGauge mod, and overlook the ".oh".
Sorry for that. Smiley

Woah, you are fast.  Grin There is now a second part to my post above

BACKUP all ***_LM.dds files in your FSX_Path\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B757-200\

I don't have any ***_LM.dds fils in this folder.  These are all in the ...\texture folder.  So you may want to make this change as well.

I spend a lot of time with this files, so there a lot of "assuming" in my head now.

Hello,

Thanks for this mod ! That work but on the VC, the Fuel Indicator is here but really dark... and really hard to read...

It's the same for the SELCAL, ANTI ICE, POSITION LIGHT (the indication)...

Does I missed something?

Nope. Overhead panel is default.
I think I can change it. But I can't say when. Smiley

yes but mine is not longer like this :



Now, some gauges are darks...

This is what I can see now :




and I found the "problem"... If I go back to the original file "aircraft.cfg" all overhead displays are ok.

and if I use your aircraft's file, that work close to your pictures but some panels are very too dark and some part of the cockpit is too brighter (look the yoke) ...




that is strange

I think that you forgot to put some texture files, like the CS757_c07_lm (ADF)...

I'll take a look to all this things a little bit later. Cause I'm overloaded at the moment here.

Probably this was a decision to keep possibility to read chart and yoke tables.

Stay tuned.

Thanks so much but I am wondering is this supposed to fix the Dawn, dusk VC light textures? because they look the same to me?


Again thank you for the hard work and effort you put into improving the Boeing 757 Smiley

2 Cthulhus
Ok, I'll prepeare dark textures for those areas.
...but those lighted corners was co cute... Smiley

Back to overhead - I've found that this issue refered only to 757-200 model(I've never flyed on it). In 757-300 overhead is OK. Probably the reason in model itself.
Try to play with additional 4(panel) lightsource coordinates to automatically highlight overhead a little when Panel is on.
Probably this will help(add to lights section of aircraft.cfg of 752): light.XX = 4,  66.00,   0,  3.5,  fx_vclightwhi


2 Space shuttle Nope, this is old-good FSX bug. Try to use Flood 1 and 2 without Panel switch.
