FDSFX sound panel

I have FS Panel Studio and I can add it to the CJR and paste the .cfg here if you want. I need to reinstall FS Panel Studio though. Come to think about it, I may have manually added the gauge though. You really don't need the background at all, I can embed the switches and size them on the overhead if you want. You just won't have the text to know which is which, but just playing with them and go from left to right as the flight progresses should be good enough.

I did precisely this in the PMDG 737 in FS2004. I embedded the switches in the overhead.

Okay, I have it working in the CRJ-700.

Make sure the gauges are in the gauge folder of the FSX directory.

Make sure the FDSFX.bmp is in the panel folder.

Adjust to your window number. In this case it's 10 for the default panel.

The pop up icon will show up in the 2D and virtual cockpit. In 2D It's there next to the other Sim icons. In the virtual cockpit it was harder to add as other gauges covered it. Look at this image at the arrow where the icon is at.

Thanks guys....so here's what I got. I'm STILL doing something wrong although now I do have something in the window. However, the icons for the panel are WAY too big for some reason. Is there some other setting for sizing the icons that I have omitted? Feel dumb cuz I add stuff like this all the time with few unsolvable issues but this one has got me scratching my head!

If you copy off my panel correcting the order of gauge numbers and the window= number you shouldn't have any issues.

See this:

gauge00=FDSFX_01_gate!switch, 49,89,30,51

30,51 is the size of the gauge, or switch in this case. The first two numbers are x and y coordinates.

My panel.cfg for entry for these gauge placement and sizes looks identical to yours. I have been back over this thread a number of times and everything looks right but it still not working properly. I don't know what to try from here. It is doubly baffling since I did get the installation to work correctly on the 737-800. No big deal, thanks again to everyone for their advice and assistance.

Not to get all sentimental here but I must say that the spirit of friendly cooperation and concern for the problems of others on this forum is unprecedented from my experience. It just illustrates the close-knit bond that the flightsim.com fraternity shares and makes me proud to be an aviation geek!

Came home from work today and loaded the CRJ up for just one more try just for grins and....

Go figure. Ghost in the machine I guess.

Came home from work

Sounds like a nasty 4-letter word! Glad it's useable!

Anyone that is a pilot whether that be Sim or otherwise or loves aviation is a friend of mine. :D I try to help when I know how or what the issue may be. Sometimes I just don't know.

Has anyone tried the updated version SFX Sound Panel?

That is a completely different gauge with a completely different way of installing.

Please start a different thread if you have a question about it.

(this thread is quite a clear explanation of the original FDSFX panel. Don't make this thread confusing.)

Does anybody kno where I can find the Panel? I have tried file: fdsfxpl.zip in both AVSIM and here and both don't have it. If you know where I can find it, please let me know. Thank you
