The line he writes in the panel.cfg file is correct. But what he is doing is to call up the standard Asobo attitude speed backup gauge to put that on the panel to replace the other Kodiak backup gauge. Which increases fps by about 10.

My point is that what he writes is correct, but what he says is not. He says it is a standard Aerosoft gauge. But you don't need to have some sort of gauge from Aerosoft, all you need is the Asobo attitude speed backup gauge which everybody already has.

But what he writes is correct and will work. And I believe you should have to write it into every panel.cfg file for the Kodiak (i.e. the float plane, the wheel plane, etc.).

All the variants are referred to use the same panel from the default base model. So you only will need to edit the one file.

Thanks, good to know.

By the way, copying the new path that he added to the panel.cfg will work for default and non default MSFS locations, and for both Steam and MS store versions. Change one line for lots more f.p.s. !

But you can't get to the panel.cfg very easily if you have a plane purchased from the marketplace 😞

Yeah, I think he meant to say Asobo and not Aerosoft.  That said, I am unable to get this trick to work.  Copied exactly as shown and commented out the original but I get a blank standby screen.  I am using the WT version of the G1000 Nxi though. Is this supposed to work with that??

Yes it works with the G 1000 Nxi

Check for any missing characters that could have happened when you copied the text.

What he writes is just the filename along with the last part of the path to that file. Open Windows File Explorer and right click in the top path bar and save it as text. And then paste it into panel.cfg line.

You can't mistype if you cut and paste like that.

I have steam version and had moved MSFS to C:/msfs2020 folder.

The gauge filename in question is: AS1000_AttitudeSpeedBackup.html

so right clicking on path bar in the file explorer folder that holds that file, copies this complete path as text:

C:\msfs2020\Official\Steam\asobo-vcockpits-instruments-navsystems\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\AS1000_BackupDisplay\AttitudeSpeed

So I paste in the last part of that path text followed by the file name:

NavSystems\AS1000_BackupDisplay\AttitudeSpeed\AS1000_AttitudeSpeedBackup.html

But you also have to tell panel.cfg exactly where to put the gauge (x and y coordinates) and its size (height and width).

NavSystems\AS1000_BackupDisplay\AttitudeSpeed\AS1000_AttitudeSpeedBackup.html,0,0,512,384

It was designed to only use the last part of the path so that the same panel.cfg file will work for either Steam or Store version and either the default or custom path.

Having managed to set up this aircraft, I have to say that this is one of the best available right now for MSFS.

There are actually two panel folders... change them both.

I have (4) subfolders in ...../simobjects/airplanes.  The SWS_Kodiak_gear; .......gear_CP; ......Tundra; and Tundra_CP.  I only have a panel folder in the SWS_Kodiak_gear folder.  No panel folder in the other three.  Windows Store MSFS installation (unfortunately!) if that makes any difference.

Where is the second one?

My apologies, did not notice the "noregistration" panel underneath!

Did someone else get this plane off simmarket? I realized that the newest file I can download from my account there still has the version number 1.0.0 in its manifest.json file, although the file dates from 24.12.2021, which is the update day for 1.0.4. I already tried to get in contact with SMS via mail, no answer so far. So I am acutally pretty unsure if I have the patched version 1.0.4 and the .json file is simply not correct or if I really have "only" the release version 1.0.0...

No one? Not really a good sign for SWS support to not answer mail support request for such a long time... Hope this is not another dev that disqualifies itself due to very bad support...

Odd. I mailed them once and got a reply pretty quickly. You could also contact them on Discord: that way you might get support even faster. (You should have bought it from SWS directly anyway btw.)
