Hi, 

I’m trying to toggle ingame toolbar panels, but the AAO_TOGGLE_PANEL command doesn’t show up in my lvars list. The other AAO panel lvars are listed. Is this still a valid script? 

 

Open and close other ingame panels 

You can toggle other ingame panels (ATC, Weather, GSX, GTN750 etc.) using the following RPN script code: 'PANEL_ATC'·(>L:AAO_TOGGLE_PANEL,·String)

The panel ID at the beginning can be found in the panels' html file. Those are usually located inside their addon packages in the path "/html_ui/InGamePanels". Or use Notepad++ to search for "panel-id" in all *.html files in the /Packages folder of MSFS.

Yes

It doesn't have to. You can just type in/copy and paste the code into the RPN editor.

AAO doesn't have to know variable or event names in advance, you can always just type them into a script (no matter where you got the name from).

Thanks, so here's the panel ID I am trying to toggle:

\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\bushtalkradio-client\html_ui\InGamePanels\BushtalkClient\CustomPanel.html (1 hit)
    Line 30:         panel-id="BUSHTALK_CUSTOM_PANEL"

Here's my script:

'BUSHTALK_CUSTOM_PANEL'·(>L:AAO_TOGGLE_PANEL,·String)

However, the panel doesn't toggle when I activate the command. I'm using V4.10 b51. Is there an error in my command?

Maybe the panel just doesn't want to toggle, that is always possible.

Be mindful that for this to work the AAO InGame Panel has to be active (can be hidden though).

The active AAO InGame Panel requirement was the problem. Thaks!

Hi,

could you specify which ingame panel has to be installed for the "(>L:AAO_TOGGLE_PANEL, String)" command to work? I found the ATC ingame panel on the downloads page and installed that, but that didn't seem to work. Is there another ingame panel I'm missing?

The AAO InGame Panel is installed automatically when you install AAO. It should be in your Community folder, and selectable in the MSFS Tool bar settings.

There is a chapter about it in the AAO manual.

Ah yes, sorry. Works nicely now, thank you!
