Gauge Window

[ivormills]

Is it possible to open a gauge/gauges window while in full screen 'W' mode with a keyboard command? I want to be able to control certain things when on the ground without going back and forth to panel view. If this is possible, some advice on the panel config entries would be very helpful. I use FS Panel Studio for my panel editing.

Many Thanks

You can bring up any 2-D sub-panel in any window using the (Shift+ keyboard #) combo to toggle. The combo used relates to the [windowxx] header of the sub-panel: [window00]=shift+1...[window01]=shift+2.........( their order is also shown in the Views>Instrument Panel list.)

To make a new sub-panel just create a new [windowxx] section and define background, size, location, visibility and the gauge(s). There should also be an entry for the new [windowxx] section in the [Window Title] section. The new [windowxx] section must be in numeric order with the rest.

I edit panel.cfg's in notepad so can't relate the proper technique with FS Panel Studio. My guess there should be a tool to create a new 2-D (sub)panel within your project.
