Hi all, I have been hunting for an answer to the following for a while; can't find one so thought I might ask here. As the title suggests I am using the default 737-800 in my home built cockpit along with Project Magenta software for my instrumentation etc. Some time ago P.M. provided me with a new aircraft.cfg which means that upon start up I don't see anything infront of me except the airport scenery where I happen to be. This simply avoids having to press W, W, to clear the inside of cockpit, it also gives me a couple more frames which is why it's good to use.Now, here's the problem. If you have a look at the 737-800 cockpit, you will see there is a clock on the left hand side (pilot). I have this clock replecated within my cockpit; part of the P.M. software. However, I have the second hand ticking away as soon as Sim. starts up, but because I don't actually have this instrument infront of me on screen am unable to press on the CHR button (normally with mouse - little hand) to start the lower window clock that actually times the flight, or can be used to time in a holding pattern.I am looking for a key combination that might start this clock, and maybe it simply isn't possible. I have asked P.M. this question, but nothing coming back, which does suggest it isn't possible. I have by the way tried my FSUIPC (registered) to assign a key combination, but no luck there either.This is not a big deal for me, but I just like every part of the Sim. working!Many thanks.

Did they give you an altered aircraft.cfg or a panel.cfg? I'm asking because the stuff with the gauges is defined in the panel.cfg.The clock is in[Window Titles]window00=Main Panel

Maybe you can alter that window to just show the clock. The default shortcut then is Shift-1, but you can assign another one of course, even some button.That's thegauge11=B737_800!clock, 77,570line.

Hi CoolP, daft of me. Yes it was a replacement Panel.cfg. Thanks for other info. I will have a look into it.Thanks for response.
