FSX 2D side cockpit views ?

[sotiris 1]

Not sure whether this query has been posted earlier, but in FSX the 2D sideviews do not show even though in FS9 did so.

Of course, the active panel.cfg was properly edited pointing to the correct bmp files.

Any ideas ?

[sotiris 1]

I have posted the panel.cfg just in case somebody sees any fault I did not see.

OK, if someone has a better panel.cfg that works regarding 2D side views, could it be possible to post it to me ?

[Luis Hernandez 570]

It won't happen: FSX does not support side view bmps...
