FSX - exchange gauge positions in virtual cockpit.

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.  I recently bought a third-party aircraft (ScanSim's Piper PA28-140) for FSX.  Is there a simple way to exchange two gauges found in the virtual cockpit to different positions?  For example, move the altimeter to where the attitude is move the attitude to the altimeter is, and have both show up in the virtual cockpit correctly.  For now I am using FS Panel Studio to create my own 2-D cockpit.  However, I plan to fly that aircraft in real life and FSX's VC offers a significant level of immersion that I find invaluable when preparing to fly the actual aircraft.  Thank you for pointing me to the right direction.

Open the panel.cfg file with Notepad.

If these gauges are listed in a Vcockpit section, you can try to swap the gauge names..

If they are not listed, the gauges are hardcoded in the 3d model and you cannot change them..

Thank you very much Bert.  That worked, but yep, not that many gauges are listed so there isn't many panels I can swap with.
