May 6, 200917 yr I have FS2004, anyone have any idea how to move/undock the multi-function displays out of the middle of the window when you toggle the instrument panel using the "W" key?Thank You,Barry
May 7, 200917 yr Hi Barry,Aren't you are mixing up two things here ? (ie. undocking a window or usage of the W key for a mini-panel).If you want to have the MFDs as a minipanel (so a panel with only the MFD gauges on top of the forward outside view):Define a new 2D window these MFD gauge, with Ident-MINIPANEL. See the panel.cfg of the default Boeing747 for an example.If you want just the MFDs as a seperate 2D-window:Define a new 2D window with the MFD gauges (size of the window is accumulated size of the gauges), open it via the menu and then undock that window (e.g. to move it to another monitor)There's lots of other ways to do that as well, but this is the simplest way. (Like: clicking an MFD "blows up" the MFD in another overlay window, but you have to adapt the MFD gauge to add a clickspot that opens the new window).Rob
May 7, 200917 yr Thanks Rob..I just thought there was a way to undock the gauges in the window and move them around. Opening a new window is a better way anyway.Barry Hi Barry,Aren't you are mixing up two things here ?

But I guess you figured that out by now ....Cheers, Rob
