Gauge interfacing

[737NUT]

Hello,

Awesome job on the 733!! Absolutely love it.  If you did't know, I have a full size sim that uses all real parts from 737-300 early all steam version.  I was looking at the datarefs and noticed you use 'degree's' as the needle position on most of the gauges.  I have 2 questions on that process,

1) No matter where the scale starts on a given gauge face, do you reference each gauge as top being 0/360, right being 90, bottom being 180, left being 270?

2) Are you manipulating any of the data before it is displayed on the gauge or are you getting it from a default x-plane dataref?

Thanks!

Rob

Hi Rob,

1) 0 = UP, 90 = full right. 

2) We are manipulating it, part because we want to emulate the jerky movement of the needle stepper motors, part because we introduce some asymmetries in engine readouts depending on (random) engine aging.
