Making 2nd screen just have Gauges

[Mazza]

Okay, I got a 2nd screen, a little 15" LCD, as of now I undock the COCKPIT view and drag it over, but this is not very good, I want to have like a glass cockpit, as in having the Gauges their, but JUST them, not the cockpit view with black.

Is there anyway to do this :-/

You'll need to create a new "panel" for the aircraft you intend to fly.  This is not something I do, so I don;t know the details, but I know it can be done.  I know there are payware programs that make this easy.

You create a panel in the aircraft that is proportioned to the format of the screen you will use.  Make the background flat black.  Position the instruments on that panel as you'd like them to appear on your "panel" (monitor).  On the origianl plane this panel likely will block the entire screen.  But that is OK cause you'll undock it and move it out of the way when you fly.

Hope this thought helps.

Hopefully someone who does in-sim aircraft panel work will chime in here.  Maybe go up to the design section to look around too.

best,

[quote]Thanks, what do you do to get your gauges to just be on screens? I could try a do what you did

Depending on what type of "Background" you want for your panel, I am willing to take a crack at building a "panel of gauges only" for you.

Currently I have 6 monitors on the go. The main outside view consists of three 22" monitors using a Matrox Triple Head on its own video card, the next two monitors are below the Main Monitors. They are on a second video card and they share the same feed.(Instruments for both pilot and co-pilot)
