Fixing the Porpoise from TMO right now. Got the Aft Compass, the Aft CompAir Gauge, and the Dive Control CompAir gauge working.

As far as what the real life compressed air gauges look like that is a different story. The 4000 gauges just happen to be used as a texture in that location. I don't have a good UV mapper program for things like this.

I look at this whole thing like it is a 'representation' of this and that.

You're right, there is no gyro for the helmsman in the P-class is there. What I do with unknown gauges is set one at -45 45, another at -65 65, -90 90, -120 120, etc then go in the CR and take screenshots, then write down the gauges in a txt file. Repeat with the next set. Finally by process of eliminatgion you'll find out which # belongs to the poor helmsman. There is probably an easier way with just a couple of clicks in S3D in the dat (??) - but that's what I do. Then, after they're all mapped out I calibrate them.

PS: when you find out please let me know

I'm stuck on this Atlantic gauge freeze at 12:00 problem - who said there was global warming?
