Indicators, Labview

[rivlin]

Hello I'm building a flight simulator. I'm using LABVIEW 2016. I want to design the indicators to be just as the pilot sees them in the cockpit. Can this be done? How flexible is the indicator display's properties? Thanks,

It's possible to use images to customise controls, see https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/lvconcepts/custom_cont_ind_type/

There are also videos available on youtube, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvhGH0TlCqs (but search and you will find 🙂 )

Ideally you want to find the "closest" built-in control first, and then customise that.

I guess probably sliders and dials are going to be a good starting place, although I don't know exactly what you're looking for.

Certainly it can be done in principle. You will need to probably provide some image files that you want to use though (so if you have those - easy, if not - more challenging).

Also have a look here, for example.
