Hi
I was aproached by n72.75 about 2 weeks ago on the french forum and I volunteered to build a new hi resolution FDAI texture.
After considering a 1440x720 tex (4px/deg) I eventually opted for a 1800x900 (5px/deg)
Unfortunately I can't show you this one in NASSP since I'm unable to load it. It seems that it does not accept my file.
In fact, I'm not familiar with .dds format and while exporting it from Gimp, I'm asked for several compression options. I tried some but with no success. I still need help for that.
So I put it in the ADI MFD instead.
I cheated a little bit because this MFD does not accept a tex higher than 1024x1024. So I cropped (instead of resizing) the 1800x900 image to 1024. At least, you can have an overview.
This trickery is the reason why the rendering looks like a bit distorted.
However, I resized the 1800x900 to 1024 too and then I can show you more :
The 1° graduations still can be improved. Easy to do.
I didn't yet made the digits and 5° dashes because I want to test it in NASSP before.
As far as I understand :
This texture has been entirely made from scratch.
I did my best to match the authentic design and colors, using pics from the net.
Mainly these ones:
Hope you like it.
I'll show you more as soon as I find the way to get it in NASSP.
With digits and all, LM FDAI ...

As far as I understand :
- The VC accept 4k tex and according to n72.75, a 1800x900 FDAI should no experience any trouble.
- The FDAI on 2d panel can go up to 1024x512 and the current one is only 512x256 that is far too low. Such a small resolution cannot display the 1° graduations at all.
