September 8, 20196 yr Hi, Cannot really find the answer to this ..... I want to take part in the London to Australia Rally over at Bluegrass Airlines. I have purchased the Alabeo Cessna 310R II aircraft for the event and now for timing purposes, I want to place Tom Goodrick's FTimer gauge onto the main panel of the Cessna 310 VC. I have tried many ways to insert the gauge line into the panel.cfg but it just will not display! If I place it under WINDOW.00, it does not show. If I place it under the Vcockpit01 - [Vcockpit01] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=0 pixel_size=512,512 texture=$Panel_1 gauge00=GPS530_3D_CC310R!GPS_530_3D, 0, 0, 512, 372 gauge01=C310RIIALA!ToggleCAR530, 64,0, 256, 32gauge02=Digital!FTime, 72, 380 It does not show. If, however, I change the gauge number thus - gauge59=Digital!FTime, 72, 380 It shows as two gauge parts, but they are very small and are right on top of the radio stack! I use FSX-SE running Windows 10 64-bit at a screen resolution of 2560 x 1440. Can anyone suggest a way for me to do this? I keep reading how it is not possible to add a gauge to a VC panel, but I am hoping to do this. I used to do it back in my FS2004 days. The only other possibility is to use a Time to Decimal calculator for the timings. Thanks for any help you can provide, Regards, Lee Lee JamesDesktop Pilot - www.virtualairlinepilot.org Instagram - virtualairlinepilot_leeCheck out my Adventure Videos & FS Reviews on YouTube at VirtualAirlinePilot !

September 8, 20196 yr Another possibility is to add it to a popup window and bring it up with a keyboard combo.

September 8, 20196 yr Ed Wilson is right about adding gauges to the 3D virtual cockpit. You have to replace an existing gauge in a 3D panel. Unfortunately, the Alabeo C310 like most of the newer payware aircraft have the 3D gauge built into the 3D panel. Sometimes it is just the graphic and there is still a gauge file without a main background.bmp associated with it or the whole gauge is designed into the aircraft model. As Bob Scott mentioned, you will have to make a 2D popup with the specific gauge. It looks like you are familiar with panel.cfg files and notepad to edit them. You will have to add a 2D pop-up. The Following mods should work to your panel.cfg file, let me know if they do not with a copy of your panel.cfg file. You will have to add the [Window06] text below all the info for [Window05]. If you have added other 2D pop-ups you will have to change the window numbers [Window Titles] Window00=GPS 530 Window01=AUTOPILOT Window02=WINDOW MANAGER Window03=INFO Window04=ENGINE SETUP Window05=KNOB INFO Window06=FLIGHT TIMER //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window06] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=64,48 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=70 window_size= 0.500, 0.500 window_pos= 0.000, 0.000 gauge00=Digital!FTime, 0,0,64,48 I am not sure what your experience level is with panel.cfg files and gauges are and do apologise if I have over simplified this.
