    analogue software gauges, anyone?

    Hello!
    Iam building a 767-alike simulator, looking a bit like a 737-400 for the time beeing. (Boeing-grey
    Anyway, I have undocked instruments for the LEVELD onto a dedicated screen, and covered it with wood:

    The ND/EHSI/EICAS are super-clear, but the rest of the analogue instruments are dull and unsharp, like the default FS 737 gauges.
    I am looking for gauges that can replace the analogue instruments.
    I hva looked at FSXpand, but the gauges looks a bit - strange.
    The altimeter has no numerical reading, it is more like a Cessna one, for example.

    Then there is realityxp, which has super crips gauges, but they hav no airspeed inicator other than a cessna one.

    Do you guys know of a set of replacement gauges to use in a 767-type airliner?

    Super smooth, super crisp, can be moved and resized at will.

    There are a bazillion guages at AVSIM.com. You can use FS Panel Studio to manipulate them and add them to your panel file.

    I've been thinking of doing the same with my vertical speed indicator. It's not as sharp as I'd like either.

    Thank you for replying.
    The magenta is probably for use on a separate computer, and with a far too high price? I have sent them a mail to ask for the price for just those gauges,
    if possible.
    And on Avsim:
    I must say I have downloaded at least 20 different panels, but all of them have used default gauges in their panels, collected from various FS sources.
    But it is a good idea to investigate further.

    You don't need to download entire panels, just the gauges you need or want. There are some original gauges out there.

    Stabell, you might try Ellie Systems as they produce a suite for the 737 which is an alternative to PM gauges (and much cheaper). They also have a set of 737 standby instruments.

    With FSpanel Studio you could use any gauge from any aircraft in your fleet. I built this panel using the gauges from the payware Mooney from Carenado. I have built a generic cockpit and simulate 4 different aircraft, by using FSpanel Studio I have been able to mix and match guages from all the aircraft in my hangar.

    Are you sure you can use payware guadges that way? I am not saying "NO" but you should probably double check the license agreement.
