I have a pretty basic question, I've seen screen shots from different developers using single/multiple MFD's like the one linked below.

http://www.orbiter-forum.com/picture.php?albumid=848&pictureid=9052

are these craft specific? I've mainly used craft without 2D panels so maybe this is where I have missed them. Im also not using the D3D9 Client either as yet, is that neccessary for the above style MFD?

I currently have two 10" touch screens and Im wanting to display 2 MFD's per screen to be inserted into my simpit. currently they are stock standard MFD's utilizing both the VNCMFD and NETMFD addons but I want to pretty them up to at least appear as in the link.

any help is appreciated
:)

If you mean the casing of the MFD, then it's a part of 2D panel graphics -- in the linked screenshot - DeltaGlider's (it's contained in Textures/DG/dg_panel.dds texture for the stock version of DeltaGlider, which you can check without installing any add-ons). They are vessel specific.

Ok thanks, I've had orbiter since 2005 version and have never used the DG, only ever really been into the historic stuff, and yes I was only interested in the case. Long term I wish to Crete my own addon with 2D panels so maybe there is hope I can utilise these screens,for now I will have to settle with the generic ones.
