I changed this to a unary operator #. So one can now write #10 and metapost will
replace this by the angle that represents the scale value of 10% RPM.

FWIW, Gimp has a script that creates text arcs that I have considered
using if I ever get a chance to make some instruments.

OK, here's a new version, just so you can see how easy instrument face
creation with MetaPost is. Note that there's a function @() defined, that
maps the real instrument angles to MetaPost angles. So I could directly
input all the values as I saw them on the cockpit photo. Also, the
program outputs

Yes, but there's no way to start/stop the turbines in YASim, so the

No, I couldn't see where 442 would fit into that scale, and what 140 should
stand for (140 RPM? ... too low; or 14000 RPM? ... too high), but ...

The ticks are labeled from 0 to 140, with a lot of colored marks aroun

BTW: this is my little transparency trick: in my fgfs.mp library file I have this:
color foreground, transparent;

which lets white actually be written as 254/254/254 ... white enough (who needs true

Nice! With the MetaPost user number at least doubling within just one day
I'd say that this is now the preferred way to make instrument faces. ;-)
