May 12, 201016 yr :( Anyone know how to find the location in the VC of the blank instrument spot and if it can be used for an active gauge?It sure makes sense to me to have it with the other engine instruments and in plan view rather than partially hidden by the yoke.

May 12, 201016 yr If you don't have FS Panel studio it's trial and error. You need to find the spot, and the coordinates for that areaI'm not proficient with the coordinate system in FSX maybe someone can chime in. To start off , check the panel.cfg and find where they put the tach in... errr the RPM indicator. And you'll want to be below that gauge. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

I've tried oversizing nearby gauges to see the overflow as sugggested by Bert but, no joy there. It just seems such a waste to have a half hidden critical gauge and a wide open blank spot in the panel where it should be.Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
May 12, 201016 yr Another option Ray would be a simple move of the VOR gauge for the MAP gauge. That's what I did. I swapped VOR1 for the Manifold Pressure and VOR2 for the VSI. That's a less than 5 minute operation in Notepad (with the panel cfg file). For my type of C185 flying I prefer easy view of the MAP gauge and VSI than the vor's.Cheers!

May 12, 201016 yr You have a point. Actually, I stared at that nice empty location quite a few times myself!BTW, where (and which) flap indicator did you include?

I search on my stuff using FS Panel Studio and took the first round one. Works like a charm, just don't have a clock anymore.I think it is a cessna.
