FIXED: Wings of Power -B17, B24, B29 Cylinder Head Temperature 3 4

[Tempest555]

No problems with the way the cylinder head temperature is read for cylinders 1 and 2 in the subject bombers.
But the cylinder head guage for 3 and 4 is mixed up-for example: guage 4 tooltip reads the temperature for cylinder 4 but the indicator needles moves for cylinder 3 when it should move for 4. You want to reverse this so the needles tooltip reads and moves for the correct engine cylinders running.
If you run engine 3 or 4 individually by themselves you will see this bug.

First backup the file.

Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Gauges

In the cab files for the guage (for b17, b24, b29 go to the file named Cyl Head Temperature 3 4

You will have to switch the digits 3 and 4 around so it appears like below as I annotated in red bold font.

Tooltip and temperature needle will be working in unison now.

You can extract the files from the cab file to do the change and then rename the file you extracted to after the cab file with the same name and use that file in lieu of the cab file.
Sorry don't have a online file storage account - if someone wants to do the edit and post a file to download have at it.

I don't have FSX but this fix works for WoP bombers in FS9.
