Has anyone attempted a modification to allow all six main gauges to pop up with one mouse click?

I quite liked this in the Falcon and the C421 and am contemplating what it would take to make this possible in the A36 also..

We originally had it that way, Bert, but the beta team preferred individual.

It can be done, just use the EHSI's window, expand the window size as necessary, put the other gauges on it, and voila! That's how I had it originally. Use the EHSI to toggle the window.

The others can remain as individual pop-ups, or you can eliminate those windows.

Thanks, Lou that was quick!

That is enough info to allow me to make the mod... when I've got time.

Having too much fun flying this airplane right now!

Really well done!!

Here is a possible implementation (gauges designed to display "round" on a 1280x1024 LCD display)

//-------------------------------------------------------- EHSI Zoom
Window10......in square brackets

Background_color=0,0,0
visible=0
ident=85
size_mm= 640, 420
position=7

gauge00=dfa36Sandel_3308!zoomehsi, 210,210,220,210
gauge01=dfa36ec!ASI, 0,0,200,190
gauge02=dfa36ec!ADI, 220,0,200,190
gauge03=dfa36ec!Alt, 440,0,200,190
gauge04=dfa36ec!Turn, 0,220,200,190
gauge05=dfa36ec!VSI, 440,220,200,190

If you have a regular CRT monitor at 1280x960 or 1024x768,
change the last number on each line to be equal to the previous number
e.g. 210 becomes 220, 190 becomes 200.
