Dassault 7X Panel

Postby flipside » Tue Jun 01, 2010 9:11 pm

I have installed an Aftermarket panel into a Dassualt 7x and I have been trying to figure out a way to shut the engines down without using the emergency switches in the overhead. Here is what I tried:
1. I added a new window named Collective. (It was an Icon that was nor already being used)
2. Placed a Collective Icon on the main panel.
3. Created what I thought was a window in the Panel cfg.

[Window13]
size_mm=75,36
background_color=16,16,16
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=5
visible=0
ident=Collective

gauge00=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 1, 3,3,21,31
gauge01=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 2, 27,3,21,31
gauge01=cpt.toggles.208!Fule 3, 51,3,21,31

Can anyone see what's wrong such that the window does not open when I click on the Icon?

Try changing the ident= line to ident=COLLECTIVE_PANEL

Also, you have 2 gauge01, and in the second you misspelled fuel.

Post back with your results.

cheers,
Joe

That opened the window, but it was black.

I used the Groundhandling entry as a guide. This is how I have it in the panel.cfg rigt now.

[Window13]
background_color=16,16,16
size_mm=75,36
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=5
visible=0
ident=Collective_panel
window_pos=0.800,0.500

gauge00=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 1, 3,3,21,31
gauge01=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 2, 24,3,21,31
gauge02=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 3, 51,3,21,31

Do you have a link to the panel, and aircraft you are installing it in?

What do you mean? I am working with only one aircraft. The above is in the Panel.cfg of the aircraft as is the aforementioned Groundhandling panel which works perfectly. I tried to use the same format to create this Collective panel.

What I meant was,

Where can I download this plane & the panel you are using?

What I want to do, is download them, and try it myself, because it's much easier to figure out a solution that way, than trying to guess.  ;)

The Aircraft is available here at Simviation. The panel is from FS Panel Studio Build no. 20339. The aircraft of course is a Dassault Flacon 7X.

You have...Fuel 1...

Try removing the space so it's ...Fuel1

Do it for all 3

I changed the background_color line to read "background_color=96,96,96" The result was a color that I could live with; a moderate gray.
