If you want to add another gauge or readout on the dash, here is how to do it. You can click on the pictures to see full size.
1. Put the dash into Designer mode by right clicking on the background and selecting "designer mode".
2. Right click on the background again and select that you want to add a gauge.
3. A window will appear with a selection of gauges or readouts. Select which one you want, press "add gauge" and then "done".
4. The gauge will appear on your dash. Now you need to assign what data you want to appear on the gauge. Right click on the gauge and select what you want. There is a long list and you may have to search through it. Some of it is complex, so ask questions if necessary. For this example, we will select a Generic sensor that was set up in a previous post about fuel pressure.
5. Set the limits on the gauge, so it displays the min and max correctly.
6. Here's what I changed the limits to, in order to display 0 to 100psi.
7. There are other settings on that menu to change other things about the gauge, but the basics are there. You can close the menu. Move the gauge by dragging it or resize it, to wherever you want. Then turn off Designed mode (the same way you turned it on).
FYI, another way to add a gauge, is to go into designer mode, then right click on an existing gauge you want to copy. Then right click on the backround and click paste. The gauge will be the same style of the one you copied. You'll just need to change the data assigned to it.
