Rick2814 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi Everyone - Some years ago I was able to change the bezel color of the default FSX Garmin 500 so as to match other cockpit panels. I've lost the instructions; any help? Thanks, Rick Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi Rick and welcome to the Hangar. I'm not sure, but I would think that the texture giving the G500's bezel its grey color will be in a folder - somewhere! - and, therefore, available for editing. If none of the other gurus on the forum can find it for you, we can delve into the vaults... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's probably just a bitmap file with a bmp extension, easily edited in most any graphics editor. If it's buried in a CAB file, it can still be de-compiled, edited and recompiled. I don't know of any program for doing it automatically (not to say that one does not exist), but it shouldn't be all that difficult to do manually. John Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 In the main FSX folder open Sim Objects. In the search bar top right type Garmin. The bezel will be a BMP file that you will have to convert in a paint-program to alter.. Link to post Share on other sites
Rick2814 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't remember any painting however; it was a reasonably easy procedure. It may have been a "Tip/Freeware" offered by Just Planes (JSG?) when they were just starting out years ago. Thanks for your suggestions & help. Rick Link to post Share on other sites
