[Flightgear-devel] Tears along lines delineating bucket widths

[Flightgear-devel] Alias in 3d instruments

2004-05-30 Thread Roy Vegard Ovesen
Hi! I tried to use the alias feature in a 3d instrument config-file: fuel_gauge.ac consumables/fuel/tank[0]/level-lbs rotate Needle 0-216 700-90 140036 -1 0 0 And that worked OK, the gauge showed the contents of tank[0], the default. When
