Also need closeups of any WW2 Russian aircraft guages..

Although I squeezed my whole exterior into one 256 x 256 tile, the size of the guage textures in the default planes are so tiny as to be almost unreadable (especially the metric ones). I'll probably double the texture size for the important guages like speed and altitude.

Tail, you must have the cockpit zoomed right out because I find the 64x64 textures used for the gauges very easy to read. I tend to have the cockpit zoomed out so that I can see all the important instruments but no further (usually the first 2 rows of instruments). Obviously the level of zoom varies from aircraft, the only exception being the zero as the panel is well below eye level.

As MPosis managed to locate a couple of images of a Zero panel, I would be surprised if the web is bereft of go examples of the Yak 3. I will have a look through my links to see what I can find.

I've tried all different zoom settings, I find the German speed guage especially hard to read.
