Start-up scenario: Default C172, (analogue version), starting in the 3D virtual cockpit 1. Is the build-in FSX "mini-panel" related to the currently selected aircraft or not? I was no able to figure this one out (yet) 2. Is there a way to directly bring up the "mini panel" via a certain key-press combination? I now use this sequence to make the Default (analogue) C172 mini-panel appear on screen: - [FSX main menu bar],[Views],[View Mode],[Cockpit],Cockpit: -> This gets me a forward looking view, no panels displayed. - Press [W] once -> C172 - 2D VFR panel appears - Press [W] again -> C172 - 2D IFR panel appear, which almost fills the entire screen - Press [W] again -> C172 - 2D VFR panel again - Press [W] again -> C172 - 2D "mini panel" finally appears 3. Is there a way to bind the mini-panel to a certain key-press combination? Example: Default Cessna172 now has the following key-combinations binded to these panels/views. [shift][1] -> Main Panel [shift][2] -> Radio Stack [shift][3] -> GPS [shift][4] -> IFR Panel [shift][5] -> Landing View So is it possible to add (for example) [shift][6] to make the mini-panel pop-up directly on screen? 4. Where, inside which file(s?) are the mini-panel configuration parameters stored ? Example: Default Cessna172 - How can I fully customize its mini-panel it to my own needs? I was not (yet) able to find it inside the ../Airplanes/C172/aircraft.cfg nor ../Airplanes/C172/panel/panel.cfg I was not (yet) able to find anything about it inside the official Microsoft ESP SDK pages over here: - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/microsoft-esp/cc526948(v=msdn.10) - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/microsoft-esp/cc526956(v=msdn.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN So any FSX "mini-panel" related hints are greatly appreciated!
