Trying to change a 737 VC gauge

Postby Tchkinjiu » Tue Jul 12, 2011 2:09 pm

Hey all,
I'm trying to replace the bottom EICAS gauge in the VC with the standard GPS.

I've messed with the panel cfg and found the EICAS:
gauge24=B737_800!eicas, 704,541,260,260

I replaced it with:
gauge24=fs9gps!gps_500, 704,541,260,260

which works fine, except it replaces both EICAS gauges, top and bottom.
Is there a way to delete this symmetry or just a way to replace the bottom EICAS only?

Thanks for any help

The coordinates and dimensions in the panel.cfg, correspond a reference "sheet".. kinda like a big texture displaying all the gauges. Then,  portions of that "texture" are mapped to individual gauge polygons. One panel.cfg entry will display the same gauge on any polygon with the same mapping..

If I model an airplane where the co-pilot panel uses some gauges that are identical to the pilot panel, I'll just clone that guage polygon.
