Modifying Realtime Dials for small Airport

Sorry if this has been asked i have looked but can't see what i am after.

I am setting up a Davis VP2 for a small Airport and the manager would like to have a Wind Dial with Direction/Speed but overlay an image that shows the Runways (08 and 26) so as at a quick glance to see the wind direction/speed in relation to the Runways. i wish i had screen shots of what i am after but i don't. It would be good if it could be done in the Realtime module but even a Gauge with this option would suffice

Any help would be gratefully received. I am also looking at moving my AWS to using cumulus from weather-display as it has a nice easy look and feel

Cheers

I can't think of any way that you could modify the Cumulus gauges, but there are a number of alternative methods of producing gauges, like the 'steel series' gauges that Mark Crossley has been doing. You may be able to produce a custom version of one of those.
