Some AI planes have been converted to flyable using the "wrong" gauges because the most suitable available cockpit use a different measurement system, so we have American gauges in the ki46 and FW189, and similar problems in other planes. I usually try to keep the speed bar hidden and only use the plane's gauges, so having the "right" gauges would be great.
My idea is, while we wait for someone with enough dedication to actually model the missing cockpits, we could simply make a "temporary ki46 cockpit" throwing Japanese gauges in a P38 cockpit, a "temporary fw200 cockpit" with German gauges in a B25 cockpit, and so on. These "temporary cockpits" would be a long way from the "real" thing but they would still be one step in the right direction, and feasible with relatively little effort.
The problem is that I'm a complete noob at modding, so I don't know how to replace the gauges in a cockpit with gauges from another cockpit. If someone could post a howto, that would be great.
Probably the best howto would be to make the first "temporary cockpit", keep a log and take screenshot while working, and then publish the resulting tutorial. Could anyone do that?
