I'll give that a try, might impact the performance of this glorified abacus that I run with

Lucas, Good deal, glad you have it working. The issue I have with the JS4100 is some pixel "crawling" (for want of a better description) around some of the instrument bezels that regardless of Hi or Normal cockpit resolution, no amount of anti-aliasing will fix. We had a long forum discussion years ago when it came out. I fly that plane mainly as copilot as the issue was less on that side and the FMS is closer (but now the weather radar is further away :mad: . I might of hangered it, but other than that one issue it's wonderful piece of work by PMDG.

Lucas Looking at your panel.cfg the only thing I see is that it looks like you are using the normal resolution panel while I'm using the high definition setting. Not sure if that is a problem, but you might try changing that in the PMDG_BAe_JS4100_ConfigManager. You'll have to copy back your "gauge06" line into [VCockpit02]. As always save a backup of you panel.cfg before changing this in ConfigManager This will also have the effect of giving you a nice clean panel,cfg as I see a reference to something called XGauge defined as a 2dD pop-up that I don't have. Not sure if that is a problem, but it is always good to get back to a fresh panel.cfg when trying to troubleshoot. In any case, good to hear the gauge is working now. I'm sure you're close to getting this working.

You only need to do that trick if you also have the "Reality" WX500 gauge installed. Otherwise they conflict. I don't think that is your glitch.. I'm using v09 - As you hover your mouse over the radar display can you see the various click spot locations. None of the knobs or switches on the bezel work, the controls are embedded as clickspots on the screen. The "on-off" switch for this gauge in the JS41 VC in in the left middle of the screen. Took me longer than I want to admit to figure that out If you are not seeing the clickspots your problem lies elsewhere. Have you tried installing the gauge simply as a pop-up in a default plane?

Roland, I understand, but against your warning (I tried this yesterday before you responded) and as best I can tell it works fine and the gauge pops up at a reasonable size for my purposes, [Window07] size_mm=100,150 zorder=4 gauge00=RolasnRadar!ShellRadGauge, 0,0,100,150, sweep|icing|nogps . Btw, for the gentleman a few post up the gauge works fine in the PMDG J41 VC here - once I read up on where the clickspot to turn it on was (after half an hour of scratching my head). I did have to comment out the RXP radar line as I have that gauge installed and it conflicts. If you do another update you might want to note that in your docs.

Thanks Roland, I would have sworn I tried that... In any case it's working. Only issue is the gauge pops-up huge - almost full screen. I think I can fix that tho. Thanks again for the help

Roland, Thanks for your work on this gauge. I'm attempting to install the gauge as a pop-up (Bendix shell) From your .pdf B- Pop-up mode declaration of ShellRadGauge in « panel.cfg » (Bendix shell) At the end of [Window Titles] section, add: WindowXX=RolASN weather Radar where XX is to be replaced by the last windows number in the list order. size_mm=500,500 zorder=4 gauge00=RolasnRadar!ShellRadGauge, 0,0,,, sweep|icing|nogps Can your clarify where the last three lines are to be inserted in a panel.cfg Thanks for your help Brett

I had a St. Bernard as a kid. When I was eight my little sister was born and Barney had to go He had a little too much energy, hair and slobber to be in the same room with an infant. My parents gave him to the town butcher so I'm sure he had a quite a happy life. He must have felt like he died and went to dog bone heaven. I cried for quite a while when the butcher came to take my pal away, but my Dad who was an electrical engineer at IBM converted his pretty large dog house into a space capsule, complete with a panel full of flashing lights, dials and switches that actual could fire retro rockets and everything. At least in my mind.. Well, to go along with my new baby sister (who was supposed to be my kid brother but that's another story of 8 yr old woe) I already had two older sisters. So my capsule became a place where I could just shut the hatch, light the fire and get away from it all. Just me and all the space I could imagine. I don't know Bill being an only child or an eight year old in the 60's with three sisters. I think it would have been a toss up... But, many hours in my dogs house, I mean Fireball XL-5 (thanks Dad). In a five gallon ice cream container helmet and foil spacesuit (thanks Mom). During the age of Gemini. My life with three sisters was bearable.

... and oh what a place that would be indeed Fr. Bill. I can a l m o s t "imagine" that until I read on the front page of the morning paper that some folks couldn't. I've been to the blue yonder for countless hours upon days in a consequence of your and many others imaginations "flying" that Cessna, Beech or Boeing with less than nary a care except perhaps a stutter, OOM or CTD from replacing my overclocked imagination with a few too many sliders to the right Imagination has been essential both as a kid playing cops and robbers and in my post-childhood, making family and making buildings. I can't imagine life without imagination and the simplicity of this ad tickled mine like not many others. Thanks for everyones thoughts on this I have enjoyed the 'conversation".

My wife and I just moved from the US northeast to the southwest. Let's just call it a "pre-retirement, empty nest, time to live where we really want - move".. After numerous yard sales, donations, give-aways to family, friends and the Salvation Army not to mention trips to the "recycling" center we still had over ten tons of "stuff" to put on the conestoga wagons. A large majority of that (since most of our NE furniture simply couldn't "work" in the desert SW) were book-books, professional journals, CD's and record albums. We did recycle a ridiculous weight in magazines. I think we recycled another ten tons of stuff. So yes, from personal experience, moving the e-version of the "library" is much easier on the 'ol sacroiliac.. ...but that being said, there is nearly nothing like a good book-book in front of a mesquite fire here in the high desert. Don't even get me started on the mp3's our kids listen to on their phones vs. the sound from a nice thick slab of vinyl... Skyscraper

Thanks Bert Of course those worked perfectly. :Doh: I would have sworn I looked for the gauge bitmaps in that directory while I was dimming down the panel night lighting but didn't see them, so the 10 min. fix took a few hours. The good news is the gauges are now dimmed down as well.

Hi Bert, In the spirit of "teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" I attempted to edit the nav/comm gauge bitmap myself using >Gauge >Edit selected Gauge >Edit Bitmap in FS Panel Studio. I edited the bitmap in Photoshop and saved. The modified bitmap shows nicely in the Bitmap Preview and the VCockpit01 window in Panel Studio which is saved and closed. Loading up the Skymaster in FSX their is no change to the gauge. This gauge appears to be embedded in RadioC337.dll. The FS Panel Studio Help does not shed any other light on this. What did I miss? I have some other gauges I would like to "clean up" if I can get this working. Thanks for all your help here.

Would love to know what the real thing sounds like. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than one accurate voice over the years. Maybe what we have is how it sounds in the plane that Carenado modeled? Sound like the speaker is blown. I have the Flight Video Productions video of a King Air 350 (recommended) and the voice for the "500" is female. Not the same voice as the F1 Mustang though. Here is another video of a 90GT with EGPWS that has the male "caution terrain caution terrain terrain terrain pull up" at about 1:05 into the video. The GPWS was apparently upgraded in the newer model.
