Panel builder is terrific but I'm having a problem with the OMI indicator in P3Dv2. It doesn't seem to light up at all for the Outer, Middle or Inner markers. I do hear the beeps as I pass over them so I can't explain the problem. Any idea how to get them working? Thank you. Peter.

Maarten, Thanks for your quick response. I guess I can live with SimLauncher not starting P3D on a remote machine. But I'm still having problems because it seems that SimLauncher does not like to be pointed to the Prepar3d.exe file on the remote machine and I get an error message that says: "Error in Prapar3D profile 'Default': startup program not specified" When I check the SimLauncher.ini file the startup program IS correctly specified. The .... button is grayed out on the Edit Prepar3D Profiles page so I can't enter the path to the Prepar3d.exe file nor any other .exe file for that matter. Therefore, I'm unable to get SimLauncher to load any flight even if Prepar3d is already running on the remote machine. Could this be a bug in your latest update, or is it something with my configuration? Thank you. Peter.

Maarten, I am running SimLauncher on a remote machine (on my LAN). I am trying to get it to start P3D on my simulator machine. If I first Map the P3D drive to my SimLauncher machine and point SimLauncher to the mapped drive for all of the confiuration files then I am (sometimes) able to get the Startup program line filled in, but when I try to start P3D it appears that SimLauncer tries to start P3D on the local machine (where it doesn't exist). So nothing happens. On the other hand, if I don't map the P3D drive and instead point SimLauncher to all the configuration files on the network using the usual \\ remote machine\ C\P3D syntax then SimLauncher at least recognizes that P3D is on a different machine but the line for the startup program is grayed out and I can't browse to the P3D.exe file to point SimLauncher at it. Can you explain in detail how to get SimLauncher to control the remote machine on my LAN which runs P3D?
