Sorry if this is addressed somewhere here on the forum. I searched and never found anything relevant.I would like to add the xgauge to the vc (particularly the c172.g1000). I tried simply copying the gauge from the popup window into one of the two vc windows in panel.cfg but it only shows up where there are existing gauges. I'd like to put the xgauge in that blank panel area over on the passenger's side of the cockpit but of course, there is no "projection screen" over there. I have some knowledge of how these panels work as I have used FS Panel Studio for years modifying the 2D panels but I have never worked with the VCs before. I understand they are compiled into the model itself so there is no way to change the size of the polygons themselves.I'm just looking for general help here, not step-by-step or anything. I just need to ask some basic questions before I start spending more money.First, is there a simple way to do what I'm trying to do or do I need to go the full mile by creating a new aircraft with new VC etc.? FS Panel Studio makes no mention of VCs at all and I am left with the impression that I would need some other tool to work with those. I installed the SDK for FSX Acceleration and have looked through that a little but there is not much doc so I haven't made much progress on that yet.Is FS Design Studio what I would need to buy in order to mod VCs? I'm hesitant to spend $50 just to add one gauge to my plane. I'm not really interested in designing new aircraft, etc. as that is the primary purpose of FSDS.Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.-mark

Hi Mark,Yes, you would need to work with the mdl file and then insert XGauge just as any other gauge. Not sure what software you would need. The Panel and Gauge Forum would be the best place to ask.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
