December 25, 200817 yr I make my own custom minipanels using FSPanel Studio, but that's about the extent of my panel making capabilities. Can someone tell me how to code the panel.cfg so that an auto-hide gauge is visible even when I switch to the minipanel window view? I'm trying to adapt the Taxi Guidance System gauge in Pro Flight Emulator to stay on top whether I'm in the main panel window or the mini panel and if I just add it as I would any other gauge, I get an error when I load my plane that "FSUIPC is unable to open. It's already open" presumably because the gauge is trying to access FSUIPC twice -- once from it's own hidden window, and once from the minipanel window. I don't know if it's appropriate to post it due to it's length, but my current panel.cfg is below:Thank you in advance![Window Titles]Window00=Panel
