De-clutter the PFD

Featured Replies

Maybe you'll find it in the checklist, but as soon as you've got the MFD up and running,

you can turn off the engine info on the PFD, by pushing the red button at the bottom of the

Audio panel.

yep, found that one right away as I had read about it with another one of their planes previously. I also removed the right side PFD2 in the vc to save some frames as I'll never need to use it.

Hi Dave,

 

pls can you tell me where I can set up that the Copilot PFD is black?

Thanks

 

Cheers,

Mark

Mark - open the TBM's Panel.cfg file and towards the bottom you'll see a section that looks like this:

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

[Vcockpit04]
Background_color=0,0,0 
size_mm=512,512
visible=0
pixel_size=1024,1024
 
texture=$Panel_4
 
gauge00=TBM850_G1000!G1000_PFDTBMVC2,       0, 0, 384, 266
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
All you need to do is put 2 forward slashes in front of the gauge00 line so it will look like this:
 
[Vcockpit04]
Background_color=0,0,0 
size_mm=512,512
visible=0
pixel_size=1024,1024
 
texture=$Panel_4
 
//gauge00=TBM850_G1000!G1000_PFDTBMVC2,       0, 0, 384, 266
 
Doing this will stop that particular gauge from loading. Dont forget to save the file before closing it :-)...and if you want to make the gauge work again simply remove the 2 slashes and save.

 

Perfect Dave. Thanks a lot for the instruction.

 

Cheers,

Mark

If you dont want to remove the gauge, you can still turn off the co-pilot PFD by turning it off with its power switch... Its the top left screw on the PFD frame.
