B737 stock flaps gauge

Recommended Posts

Odd request??  Would you also want a popup gauge for your car's speedometer or just glance down and look at it? 🤔

I fly open window so no main 2d panel. I uncheck Main Panel under Views/Instrument Panel when flying, with only the autopilot as window 5.

As I have a 4 monitor setup I use FS Window Manager to display PFD, MFD, EICAS, Radio, ACT on 3 monitors, main monitor is my fly window with only autopilot on it.

OK, now it makes a little more sense!  Could you post your popup text for the autopilot?  It may be a matter of switching out the info for the flaps gauge for the new popup window.

gauge17=B737_800!annunciator_le_flaps,          854,516
