June 2, 20188 yr Hello, all. I'm hoping someone can help me out again with something. I'm trying to adjust a panel slightly in FS9 to have the standard GPS panel icon point to the standard GPS popup window but it isn't working. The particular panel has a Window01=GPS and Window08=GPS Panel. I've added the standard GPS panel icon okay but for some reason it is point to the Window01 item and I want it to point to the Window08 item. Window01 looks like... [Window01] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=456,378 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=225 window_size= 0.352, 0.382 window_pos= 0.324, 0.547 gauge00=EMB170_NAV!gps_EMB, 1,0,456,378 Window08 looks like... [Window08] size_mm=456,378 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=8 visible=0 ident=160 window_size= 0.320, 0.400 window_pos= 0.680, 0.010 gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0,456,378 And my particular GPS icon entry in [Window00] looks like... gauge29=cpt.icons!GPS, 10,370,11,10 My hope is someone will help me figure this out. Thank you!
June 3, 20188 yr The ident=xxx is the link to what is being called. If you open the cpt.icns\GPS.xml file you will find the window to be popped up. Change it from 225 to 160. Bert

Change it from 225 to 160. But then the other panels will stop working, won't they? I tried changing the [Window08] line to "ident=GPS_PANEL" but then the icon toggles both.

No, but if I change the number that is in the cpt.icons.cab file, won't the other panel.cfg files be looking for something that isn't there any more?

Yeah, if you are changing it in the xml of the .cab file. What would happen if you change the ident= in the [window08] file to 225 instead of 160?

OK, taking it a step further....switch the two ident= or put // in front of the [window.XX] you do not wish to see.

June 3, 20188 yr Author I ended up creating a new icon .cab file, with a different name, with only the pieces for the GPS and modifying the number in that .xml file. That seems to have worked okay. But am willing to try other options if you, anyone, have any thoughts.
