Panels

---

Overview

Panels provide a visual window to interact with vehicles in the simulation. These can be set up as standalone windows that can be opened through the menu or as part of the virtual cockpit of a vehicle. The content and artwork displayed in a panel can be set up using xml or Scaleform. Standalone panel windows can be accessed through the Vehicle menu or by pressing the assigned hotkey. Panels with valid IDs can be duplicated using the Panel Manger window. The state of these panels will be synchronized across all duplicates and can also be saved out to scenario files.

A panel.cfg file is used to define which panels are used for a vehicle as well as the content and properties of the panels. Refer to related sections including Panel Configuration Files and Panel and Gauge Artwork for more specific information on creating panel content. The missionpanels.cfg, located in the Gauges folder, can be used to modify the global panels.
