I just installed the latest version, G1000_Setup_2.11.0019, but it is still the same. However if I use the "Generic turboprop" style I do get engine readings for the LHD engine, but this isn't ideal as it displays 2 engines on the MFD. At least I know the engine information is being passed through, but it just won't show on the C208 style gauge

This is my entire panel.cfg for the default Cessna Caravan C208 in FSX:

Hi, I'm trying to retrofit the Mindstar G1000 into the 2D cockpit of the standard FSX Cessna C208 Caravan as a popup gauge. Everything seems to be OK apart from the engine instruments: Torque, ITT, Ng RPM, prop RPM, and bus volts are all 0. The relevant panel.cfg lines for the C208 are as follows: [Window Titles] Window00=Main Panel Window01=Radio Stack Window02=GPS Window03=Throttle Quadrant Window04=Engine Gauges Window05=Fuel Control Window06=Electrical Window07=Compass Window08=Landing View Window09=Outside Air Temp Window10=Mini Panel Window11=G1000 PFD Window12=G1000 MFD //-------------------------------------------------------- // Popup Window PFD [Window11] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=813,550 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=6 visible=0 // The Mindstar G1000 requires the popup PFD to have an ident code of 11000 ident=11000 gauge00=MPI_G1000!PFD, 0, 0, 813, 550, PFD1|Cessna.208 //-------------------------------------------------------- // Popup Window MFD [Window12] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=813,550 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=8 visible=0 // The Mindstar G1000 requires the popup MFD to have an ident code of 11001 ident=11001 gauge00=MPI_G1000!MFD, 0, 0, 813, 550, MFD1|Cessna.208 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit01] file=panel_1.bmp Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=1 pixel_size=512,512s texture=$C208_1 gauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Audio, 0, 0, 258, 50 gauge01=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 0, 51,258, 95 gauge02=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 2, 0,147,258, 95 gauge03=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio ADF, 0,243,258, 66 gauge04=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio DME, 0,310,258, 66 gauge05=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Xpndr, 0,377,258, 78 gauge06=Cessna208B_XML!annunciator_panel_1, 0,459,360, 53 gauge07=Cessna208B_XML!annunciator_panel_2, 339,2,129, 57 gauge08=Cessna208B_XML!dme, 339,61,133,53 gauge09=Cessna208B_XML!volts_amps, 339,116,77,77 gauge10=Cessna208B_XML!suction, 339,195,75,75 gauge11=Cessna208B_XML!oat, 339,272,88,88 gauge12=Cessna208B_XML!ng, 365,362,67,67 gauge13=Cessna208B_XML!itt, 365,432,67,67 gauge14=Cessna208B_XML!torque, 418,116,67,67 gauge15=Cessna208B_XML!oil, 418,185,67,67 gauge16=Cessna208B_XML!fuel_flow, 430,254,67,67 gauge17=Cessna208B_XML!fuel_qty_right, 434,323,67,67 gauge18=Cessna208B_XML!clock, 434,392,76,76 gauge19=n_number_plaque!n_number_plaque, 267,430,89,25 gauge20=Cessna208B_XML!fuel_qty_left, 266,358,67,67 gauge21=Cessna208B_XML!prop_rpm, 265,288,67,67 gauge22=Cessna208B_XML!marker_beacon_lights, 263,266,74,18 gauge23=Cessna208B_XML!fd_ap_buttons, 265,214,29,34 //gauge24=MPI_G1000!PFD, 0,514,765,500, PFD2|Cessna.208 //gauge25=MPI_G1000!MFD, 0,0,765,500, MFD2|Cessna.208 gauge26=MPI_G1000!AUDIO, 779,513,97,511,AUD2|Cessna.208 //-------------------------------------------------------- I have to include the gauge26 as above in Vcockpit01 or the popup gauge crashes FSX on loading.

My first question being does the Mindstar G1000 work with the 3 engine reading in the standard FSX Caravan? And if so, do you have a working panel.cfg or any other advice on how I can get this working? Thanks Mark
