cockpit gauges

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a screen shot of the display gauges anywhere? The thing is, is i can't make out what the words are on the gauges, apart from "vel". the others are too small and i can't make them out. I CAN see the values, but i can't make out what the values are representing. I'm afraid my monitors not the biggest. Any help much appreciated.
Stephen.

Try the manual (ReadMe HTML file in the main game folder).

Hi Marvin, i've printed out the manual, but the pic that has the gauges on is still too small to see what i'm trying to find out.

I've even taken a screenshot of my game, but when i zoom in on the bitmap, it just goes too blurred. If someone could just write in a post, eg. left gauge= VEL, NAV, etc, in the order they appear from top to bottom, then i could write them down, and go from there.

No help here ... I can't read the labels either. Warsign did me a favor by moving his modded cockpit's seat closer to the console. Now the readouts are big enough but I've had to memorize what each of them means. Blame it on my cheap LCD monitor.

Left screen left column:
Velocity
IDS speed set
Force of Gravity on the ship
Altitude
IDS mode (IDS or INERTIAL)
Fuel
Navigation system health
Weapons system health
Engine health
The readout next to engine health is Weapon System Mode (All, guns only, lasers only)

Left screen right column:
Power distribution (Shields vs weapons)
Energy level
Overall ship health level
Secondary weapon slots

Right Screen:
The two top readouts are the frame type and the faction.
Threat level
Velocity
Distance
The next five are cargo slots
Subsystem (for targeting purposes)

I hope that helps.

EDIT:
Never mind. Vice's picture is much better than my text

Wow, Vice ... that diagram is sexier than [edited for cleanliness]. A real keeper.

Yes, fantastic graphical clarity! I'll print that and maybe stick it up on the inside of my locker at work (where my girlfriend won't see it!):P
