Please do not refer to me as clever.

Hopefully, I have posted 2 Images, all I have on the preview are the codes.

The title `so far so good` shows a shot of the Lightning F1 cockpit, even though I do not have all the gauges as in the upgrade, in the FSX gauges folder most of the dials and switches work, the image is a shot ofa T5 over Cranwell on the way to Coningsby . The Fs and F2 fly better than the Trainers however a few more tweaks will be necessary once I install all gauges as per upgrade.

I intalled the panel. cfg obtained from the SOH forum, it did'nt work in fact I got a no show with all models, back to the drawing board I am afraid.

You have two now

I edited the post

The top one started with two image codes [img][IMG] like this.....instead of [img], so only appeared as a link line

All sorted

Thanks for those

Often jobs like this are sorted in multiple stages, frustrating but at least you learn things as you go along

Hopefully, I have posted 2 images, one of the F1 cockpit showing all gauges,most gauges and swithes are working even though I have yet to install the gauges in the FSX guage folder as per upgrade instructions, the second is a T5 over Cranwell, Both F1 and F2 and trainers are flyable, although a few tweaks will be necessary once I have all guages in FSX folder, there is quite a lot of detail in the Lightning upgrade thread on the SOH forum once I learn to unsterstand the details.

The panel.cfg I obtained from a post on the SOH forum, once I finally opened and copied into the aircraft folders, did not work, in fact I got a no show on all models, so its back to the drawing board.

Its abit of a liberty coming on this forum about an issue on the SOH site, but there may be some mebers interested and willing to have ago, I would be very interested to hear from anyone, I also have the post on the SOH forum and I am still getting a responce, mainly I have to say from people like myself, who are baffled, however the originators of this upgrade, who I will try to contact, list patience as one of the requirements to complete this task

Again my thanks to all

Oh dear ! I havent masterd the technique, here is the second image the F1 cockpit

For some reason you have two sets of image brackets

You copy the photobucket link and then post taht link so where does the extra set come in

Are you clicking the IMG button at the top of the posting window?

My apologies, I find the system elaborate compared with other forums.
I select the image on Photobucket I click on the code it flashes copy then iI past onto the topic, initially your system reused my images as they were greater than 800 pixels, so I had to go back to my PC and resize the Image on photshop, as I am completely bewilded by the adverts on photobucket I think I will try an alternative, as a result I have copie of the same image, possibly thats why I duplicated the posts.

I can only grovel with an apology and assure you it will not happen again

[Garry Russell]

If you clicked on the image link in Photobucket and then pasted that link in as it was then that's all you need to do.

You won't get a double image.

Posting here is no different to any other forum

I always make my shots the right size before uploading to Photobucket
