I am asking as I am not so clued up with 3D cockpit panel files.

When I fly the Captain Sim Herc (L100-30) I prefer the panel that can be brought up with the simicon icon L. This is not the default panel page. However when I cycle through views (for exmple when my sound is very soft en the late evening, to see whether the landing gear has lowered or gone up) I do not get back to the L panel when I finish the cycle but a smaller one wich was the original default.

1)
I first have to press the L (simicon) to get the pannel and then the yoke (simicon) to make it go away. Can I, as with 2D panels at the panal.cfg entry, visble, add a 1 to force it to be visible? If, How do I set the view as the default?

2)
Also when I boot the Herc or after the view cycle is completed, the simicons and the reality XP toggle is gone. I then have to go to the FSX tab menu views/Instrument panel, and enable it mannually. Can the panel be set that it will at all times display until I disable it the same way?

3)
The panel also displays the bottom windows of the cockpit (there are physical windows next to your leg to look through at the runway or terrain), but in the L100-30 they are not there as it is the civilian version, although it is available as an option before you order. All civilian Hercs however are without them. How can I add a bitpap immage of a canvas or leather map case over it to hide it?

Truthfully, you cannot do much -if anything at all- in the virtual cockpit without the source files...
