Thanks.

From the default 737-400 panel.cfg:

[Window Titles]
window00=Main Panel
window01=Radio Stack
Window02=GPS
window03=Throttle Quadrant
window04=Overhead Panel
window05=Compass
Window06=Mini Panel

[Window06]
position=7
size_mm=551,151
child_3d=1
background_color=0,0,0
ident=MINIPANEL

gauge00=737-400!Airspeed,               0, 34
gauge01=737-400!ADI,                   88, 10
gauge02=737-400!HSI,                  243, 0
gauge03=737-400!Altimeter,            398, 34
gauge04=737-400!Vertical Speed,       486, 42

Adding to microlight's post.....

The FS9 'default' mini panel is ...\Aircraft\default\panel\panel.cfg. (in FSX it's ...\Gauges\minipanel.cfg) You'll see there are 3 different [MiniPanel.xxx] sections. The sim will use the one most appropriate for the aircraft you're flying.

The 'default' mini-panel is the file used for any aircraft that does not have it's own 'custom' mini-panel defined.

A 'custom' mini-panel can be defined in any aircraft's own panel.cfg file. This is done by adding a new [Window.xx] section, with the 'ident=MINIPANEL, to the aircraft's panel.cfg. Examples are the default B-7xx aircraft.

Depends on what plane you are using.

As Microlight displayed, some aircraft have specific mini-panels that are defined in the panel.cfg.

For those aircraft without that definition, there are 3 generic mini-panels in
