Hey, I was trying to install the cougar autopilot for the EH101 and at first it didn't work, the  files were in the right place but I hadn't done the config file right, now I have it working but I seem to have broken the shift-4 mini panel, it's in the config but it isn't showing up in the sim.  I've dropped my config file below and I'm hoping somebody could point out where I went wrong? Well, I know -what- I did wrong, I copied a block from a forum over it and I didn't do a backup so I'm more hoping that somebody will show me how to fix it.

Looks like it's missing [Window00] and [window 01] in both the titles section and actual Window section.

 

It's always a good thing to backup any file before modifying it.

I know, I wasn't thinking, mea culpa I guess. Still, I'll try that and see what happens. I'm pretty sure that the EH101 always was missing those though as if I recall correctly shift 1 and 2 did nothing.

Is this a default EH101 or a 3rd party addon?

That's what I thought too but actually the default EH101 doesn't have 'em either:

(There's your backup disguised as an example :smile: )

 

EDIT: I think if you want the minipanel to come up with shift+4 you have to change ident=MINIPANEL to something else, any random number between 10000 and 19999 will work ie ident=12345

Thanks, it's stock yes and that'll teach me to not back things up first.
