I have a problem with panels showing gauges. My set up are two graphics card, one with triple head to go (3 projectors) and the other to show the panels gauges in two monitors. I use the full screen mode.

The problem is that when I drag the panel gauges to the screen inside the cockpit, the panel doesn't show. I know that the panel is there because I see the instrument labels when I put the mouse on the invisible panel gauges. The only way that I found to make appear is loading the flight several times. The same happen when I save the flight with the panels in its place.

The panels are resizing to the screen dimensions to make it easy for drag and drop. The gauges are the standard FS and other are from Cessna RG 182 Carenado.

thanks

I was able to recreate the issue you were having and I believe that Beau and I have come up with a solution for you. The problem stems from the fact that when you drag the panel to a second monitor there no longer exists a 3D view associated with the screen the panel is on and this causes some intialization of textures to be skipped and the panel won't draw. If you create a new camera configuration (outlined below) with panel only turned on and place that on the same screen as your panel everything should load fine on start up.You can also add the 'PanelOnly=TRUE' to an exisiting camera definition as well.

Place this in your camera.cfg or as part of your flight file. There is a section of the sDK learning center for camera definition if you need more information. The n in this sitation will be the next integer not used in your camera.cfg

[CameraDefinition.n]

....and even when I do get an arrangement of panel+gauge+gauge etc on the instrument screen.... and save it..... and exit/load
I'm then chasing the windows all over the 2 (4) screens trying to get back to what I saved!

Is there anybody out there?

please. Perhaps tell me that v 1.4 will fix this...forever!
