Hello fellow sim addicts!I made this little gauge for FSX users to replace the RELOAD_PANELS button mentioned by Bill Leaming since, as he stated, it doesn't work in FSX.I find that in FSX you no longer have to "unlock" xml files (or the panel.cfg file) before you can edit them with the sim running.However, you do have to "unlock" bitmaps by clicking on this reload button BEFORE you open and alter the bitmap.You can leave files (or a bitmap) open while you work - just save all changes before going back to the sim.There, to instantly update the gauge you're working on, just click on this button.The xml file below is ready for use: (Just copy and paste) R(>K:RELOAD_USER_AIRCRAFT)Hope someone finds this useful. Cheers, Bob Picht

Hi, RobThanks for the info.Yes, RESET vs RELOAD was a senior moment while writing the post; the fs9.cfg line entry was/is correct.I think my problem is due to having three FS9 versions installed plus FSUIPC. There is probably a double-up or conflict in there somewhere, and I just haven't found it yet.Still, that doesn't explain why a K:event from a gauge won't reload the panels. Actually, it seems to reload, but it only updates the first time. Cheers,Glenn
