FS2004 panel editing tutorial

I want to edit this panel & remove windows 30 & 36, so the views go from Main (8) to left (7), rear left (4), rear (2), rear right (6), right (9) with the main at 8 as usual, with the NumLock keys. I'm not sure what to change.....

I know the [Fixed Windows00] further down will have to be edited to reflect these changes.

Is there a tutorial available that will help me to this?

Thanks.

7=Fixed Window31=LEFT

Hi,

In the Window00 sections, just reassign the BMP files to the desired key. For example, you want the left view assigned to the 7 key, which is (by default) the Forward Left direction. So in the [Fixed Window30] section change the bitmap from the current one to the one used for the Left view. Do that for all the desired changes.

Back up your cfg file first!

Hope this helps,

Hello. Thanks. As I hadn't had an answer in the past week I experimented & found what you say was the answer I wanted !

On a different topic: I want to add some icons to a panel. I see these numbers for a Pitot_switch, 968,699,13,64. Are they, 968 = right to left position, 999 = up or down location, 25,26 icon size ?

Many thanks.

968 horizontal location on panel

699 vertical location on panel

13 width of icon

64 height of icon

Cool beans.
