Panel Question?

[Bob Familton 14]

I have Bill Morad's excellent ATC gauge which I use on all my aircraft. Is there any way to permanently display the gauge in all of the various view modes (cockpit,virtual, tower and spot)? I can turn it on in all of the views by selecting it on the dropdown menu bar but when I switch views it closes. I like to fly in the various view modes and sure would like the ATC gauge visible. Thanks and best regards, Bob.

Make a switch that toggles (L:AlwaysVisible,bool). Make an invisible gauge that checks this state, and if on AND window not already opened, opens the window. Only check for if on, as you normally want manual control by toggling otherwise. You should also make a clickspot in the window that not only closes the window, but also sets (LAlwaysVisible,bool) back to zero. Default aircraft may not have enough 'room' to code a clickspot in, so you might have to change a nonclickable default instrument to do this to access it from virtual cockpit, say i.e. the VSI.

Hi Karl. Thanks for the info. I am not an expert gauge programmer. I will try what you suggested. Best regards, Bob.
