G'Day all,

Just wondering...........................

I used to know how to do this, but for the life of me I can't think how I used to do it.

I had the CLOCK_PANEL simicon assigned to a Radar screen that shows multi-player/AI traffic.

Can someone please explain how I do this again, it doesn't need to be the Clock simicon, but I don't need to show the clock in this panel.

I's sure it has to do with the window IDENT in the panel .cfg but could some please confirm.

Any help would be most appreciated

I suspect the problem lies in IDENT=CLOCK_PANEL.

I have only one panel that uses a separate window for a clock, the 747 (modified) and that one uses

(Window00) ...
gauge50=SimIcons!Clock Icon, 16, 111

and

(Window05) ...   (The clock window)
ident=270

But I usually use:

(Window00)...
gaugexx=cpt.icons!ifr,  132,397,19,16  (if you have the cpt icons)

and

(WindowXX) ...
ident=IFR_MAIN_PANEL

There was a discussion here a while ago about the relationship between the icon and the ident but I can't find it now.  My theory is that they are related and that the window ident must match what the icon is looking for.

If I am right you could use the clock icon to open the radar gauge as long as the radar gauge window ident=CLOCK_PANEL (or try my ident=270), or use the cpt icon and ident=IFR_MAIN_PANEL.

Thanks WebbPA,

I shall try it again and let you know

Most appreciated

CFGEdit? Look in the last selection on the toolbar. I dunno what it is sorry. And you can click an "Add new window" box.
