Seting up 2D Panels
Dec 9th, 2015, 8:45pm
 
Hello!
I love this addon, it is awesome!

But I have a problem with setting up my 2D panels. The CDUs, the MSUs and the ADEU panels are good, but I dont get the update flags and nav mode selector to the correct size. They are way too small.
I made new [WindowXX] entrys in the config, because they first dont appeared at all.

See screenshot

Code:

put in the window00 the string:
gaugexx=../civa/INS!Config, 0, 0, 0, 0, RFP_B742

[Window10]
size_mm=250,101
background_color=16,16,16
position=4
visible=0

gauge04=../civa/INS!NavModeTriple, 85, 75, 50

You're telling FS that the background image is 250 x 101 but the gauge x (horizontal) dimension is limited to 50 pixel.

NOTE: From PanelIntegrationManual.pdf:

Main Bitmap: Dimensions: 231 X 126 pixels, Ratio: 1.8333
Note the ratio value...

So le'ts assume you want the NavModTriple to be 100 pixel (horizontally) it means that the height will be 100/1.8333=About 54 pixels, let's say 55.

Consequently try this (just an example):

[Window10]
size_mm=100,55
background_color=16,16,16
position=0
visible=0

gauge01=../civa/INS!NavModeTriple, 0, 0, 100, 55

It should cover the whole "subpanel".
Apply the same rule to all other subpanels.

Note: If you don't want the black areas you should fill them with 0,0,0 color. See CIVA/SamplePanels/FS2004/B744/Civa_3cdu.bmp

Awesome, will trie this later today!
This also helps me understanding the panel.cfg settings in general. This is knowledge we can always need in FSX. First I didnt know how to work with the ratio.

Thank you Smiley

Two things:

a) Gauge numbers starts from zero, not one so:
gauge01=../civa/INS!NavModeTriple, 0, 0, 100, 55
should be:
gauge00=../civa/INS!NavModeTriple, 0, 0, 100, 55

b) Please also follow Gianfranco's suggestion, add the:
gaugexx=../civa/INS!Config, 0, 0, 0, 0, CS_L1011 in [Window00]
(this is MANDATORY not optional)

About point B, I have the config line already in the [VCockpit01] section. And it works this way.
As I tried it only in the windows section it wasnt working. Do you mean I should put it in both sections?

Thanks

No, it must be included only ONCE, and, if it works in VCockpit01, then it's ok to leave it there.
