I am assuming in SDOE that the dials that display airspeed move when airspeed changes etc? Well how about making a really big dial that fits behind the instrument panel. Then making a hollow bit in the ammo counters. Now link the big needle to the ammo left and hey presto you have a working ammo counter. Basically you would see the bit of the needle thru the hole in the counter.

Now the question is, will this work? I don't have a clue about anything Openplane etc so I am justing guessing things about the dials.

BTW this is the result of me daydreaming in school.

(as panels are basically a tedious job)

Currently you can have rotating magazines ontop of ww1 gund right, and depending how you set the DOF depends on how much it moves..

now, if a person were clever with DOF's, a rotating dial (or 3, side by side) could be made to rotate to correct amount while the trigger is pressed, drum 1 rotates less than drun2, which is less than drum 3 (100's, 10's, 1's)

Each "drum" is mapped with the numbers 1 - 0 similar to how the mag. compass is done.

Well, there you go, the easy way to make an ammo counter.
