I'm looking at it right now. That's a long file... maybe you could give me a hint and tell me at which [G3F Ixx] exact sections I should look?

I see the [G3F I33], [G3F I34] etc. and there are lines " Display=2; Linear" , is that number the zoom value?

thanks!

those values adjust the dials when you mouse over/out them. The zooming in/out is in the StartAnimation controllers (the second argument) A little info: third argument is the animation speed in seconds.

very very good job. I like your mod very much, looking forward to your next version!

I'm looking at the first one , the throttle - so these would be the numbers?:

Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Throttle_Border.StartAnim ation( MenuItemWrapper.AnimationTypes.Height, 245, DialsAnimationSpeed )
Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Throttle_Dial.StartAnimat ion( MenuItemWrapper.AnimationTypes.Height, 200, DialsAnimationSpeed )
Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Throttle_Newval.StartAnim ation( MenuItemWrapper.AnimationTypes.Height, 200, DialsAnimationSpeed )
Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Throttle_Crtval.StartAnim ation( MenuItemWrapper.AnimationTypes.Height, 200, DialsAnimationSpeed )
Pagelayout_Groupfeedback_Throttle_Bkgr.StartAnimat ion( MenuItemWrapper.AnimationTypes.Height, 200, DialsAnimationSpeed )

I'm not sure what change should I do since there is one 245 value and 4x 200 values; in other section (Heading_Dial) there is also 130 value on top of these 5 values... ...I'm non programmer, but if you could tell me which ones? Maybe I'll just wait for your next release, since more simmers feel that the size of the zoom is maybe bit too much. Apparently the screen resolution has impact what is optimal. Best would be the zoom level used in SH4; worked well I guess?

thanks for your help BTW, appreciate very much!

for some reason i cant get this to work..

I put the file OldstyleSHcontrols_1_0_1_byThedarkwrath into the generic mod file.. And select it in the program and install it over. But the dials do not show up ingame.
