I've read what I can on both the Mindstar website and here. The installation of the 530/430 into the Mindstar 172 works on my FSX. However when I used FSPanel to install two 430s into a Carenado Mooney I got blank screens. Then, as a test, I installed a 430 with FSPanel into the MS unpainted 172 and still got nothing. I suspect I've missed something simple and I'd appreciate some hints as to what to look for.

 

Ok, while I was writing this, I fixed the 172. I figured out the window number and entered the fifth parameter. Now, I have to figure out what window number MAIN_PANEL_ALT1 is for my Mooney.

 

I'll post this so you guys can get a chuckle. I guess writing this rattled my brain enough to figure out the problem.

The list is in the FSX_gauges.h file in the SDK.

 

MAIN_PANEL = 0

MAIN_PANEL_ALT1 = 1

...

MAIN_PANEL_ALT9 = 9

Thanks a bunch.
