Hi,
I have some Saitek's Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs) and I am trying to modify some of the default gauges and create my own.
However, I found the bmp files created for masking purposes by PhotoShop are not recognized by the gauges.
For example, I have created one named AirSpeed_mask.bmp with PS
<MaskImage Name="AirSpeed_mask.bmp" ImageSizes="64,20,64,20">
It just blocks the space I want them to work as masks.
I've tried resizing mask images from other existed gauges with PS or Paint. These mask images work originally. When they are modified, they sometimes work, and sometimes don't.
I am quite frustrating.
Wonder if anyone could tell me how to create this type of bmp files for masking purposes for Saitek's FIP properly in the first place? I'd appreciate it very much.
