Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Hi!
How can I add buttons to the default 738 in VC??

Thanks a lot!

Mats

You'd have to add it via the panel.cfg file in the [VCockpit##] sections.

Unfortunatelly VCs are not straightforward WRT to placements as aircraft can have several VC sections.

Really it amounts to trial and error, place it someplace, and load up the aircraft and see its location and make adjustments from there till you get it where you want it.

FS Panel studio makes this a little easier, but even with FSPS it will still take a little trial and error to get it where you want.

On some VC's there are areas you just can't use, and that makes it even trickier.

Regards.
Ernie.

Thank You Ernie!

I have another question, how can I have the buttons on the panel in other repaints, I mean the gauge is there but I need the buttons on the display...?

Thanks a lot!

Add the buttons to the gauge using the subpanel names for the buttons.

To add the FMS open button use the ISG1!FMS_OPEN gauge

Example:

gauge40=isg1!FMS_OPEN, 424,36,23,23

In order for this button to open the FMS, there must also be a separate FMS window on the panel

Example:

//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window09]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=455,395
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=0
visible=0
ident=4004
window_size= 0.500, 0.500
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000

gauge00=ISG1!GNSXLS, 3,5,449,387

Note the 'ident' value of '4004', that is required on the GNSXLS window, as that is the code the FMS open button sends when it is pressed so that the FMS window will open.

Each gauge has a window code so it can be opened as a popup window.

The updated settings document has all the codes and relevent information regarding the required button settings.
