Instrument not visible after adding.
Instrument not visible after adding.
In Vehicle Simulator you can add instruments on the consoles of the navigation bridge in the Panel Design window. But How do I know the right X, Y and Z coordinates of the spot on the bridge on which the instrument can be added? After adding any instrument in Vehicle Simulator, I can't find the added instrument at all and the X, Y and Z coordinates of the added instrument have been set at 0. How do I make sure that the added instrument is visible, even if the X, Y and Z coordinates have been set at 0? Because when it is visible, I can slide it to the right place by adjusting the X, Y and Z sliders.

Re: Adding instruments.
You need first to put bridge_x, bridge_y and bridge_z parameters in vehicle.cfg to bridge area, not to null. Easiest way to get it right is to use same parameters than helm_x, helm_y and helm_z which defines the default viewpoint of the vehicle - if it is in the bridge. If not, then just go to bridge and add there new viewpoint and save it, then take the values from viewpoints.cfg.
If I cannot see where the newly added instrument is located, I always increase its scale, so it is easier to see. Then just move it near to its intended place and decrease the scale.
