Changing location of gauges in the mini-panel

Hi everyone,

I should know how to do this, but I cannot seem to figure it out.

The following lines of code come from the default Bombardier CRJ700 in FSX Steam Edition.

Here is what I want to do. First, I would like to hide the multi-function display. No problem there. I will simply comment out the lines beginning with gauge03 and gauge04.

Then, however, I would like the primary function display to be at the bottom (it is already at the bottom) but on the extreme left of my screen. Similarly, I would like the electronic flight instrument system to be at the bottom and on the extreme right of my screen.

I guess that I am supposed to manipulate the numbers in gauges 01, 02, 05, and 06. But I don't know exactly what to do.

Could someone please help.

Thank you.

gauge06=Bombardier_CRJ_700!efis, 540, 15, 225, 250

This tutorial will help you in changing those numbers.

Is this close enough for Govt. work? It's far easier to do if you eliminate the bezels also!

Hi mrzippy and rishabk97,

mrzippy: That is perfect and exactly what I want. Would you mind telling me the settings to change in lines 1,2, 5, and 6 of the code to make that happen? I understand that I need to comment out lines 3 and 4. Thank you so much.

rishabk97: Thank you very much for the link. That seems to be quite a tutorial, and I will go through it at some time in the near future.

Keep in mind that I also commented out the bezels for both gauges. Also notice that I had to increase the size_mm=

[Window09]

position=7

size_mm=1100,300

background_color=0,0,0

ident=MINIPANEL

child_3d=1

alpha_blend=0.55

//gauge01=Bombardier_CRJ_700!pfd_screen_bezel, 20, 50, 260, 300

gauge02=Bombardier_CRJ_700!pfd, 40, 26, 230, 270

//gauge03=Bombardier_CRJ_700!mfd_screen_bezel, 260, 0, 260, 300

//gauge04=Bombardier_CRJ_700!mfd, 280, 15, 260, 350

//gauge05=Bombardier_CRJ_700!efis_screen_bezel, 950, 0, 260, 300

gauge06=Bombardier_CRJ_700!efis, 837, 45, 225, 250

With all the functions available, this is an excellent replacement for all mini panels...

Hi mrzippy,

Look, I don't want to keep bothering you with this. It is not crucial. But just to pursue the matter -- and I will be glad to drop it if you want to, here is my image:

So first, the two gauges are still not at the extreme left and right, and second they got squeezed together horizontally and thus are no longer proportional. Moreover, I realize that I need the bevels because they have clickable buttons. So perhaps we should just not pursue the issue any further. Your choice.

Hi Allen,

The zip file that you mentioned does not contain a clickable link.

Sorry, forgot that the EFIS gauge has the buttons on the bezel. Did you do a direct copy and past of my [Window09]? Your screenshot should match mine. You will need to adjust the EFIS gauge up a little and then by changing the first 2 sets of numbers, that will move the bezel left or right and up and down.

www, xxx, yyy, zzz the numbers for position on the screen and the size of the gauge.

I'll let you fiddle with it! I was in full screen mode. I see you use funky "windowed" mode. That's probably the difference.
