Post by slipstream21 »

Hi. Is it now possible with 4.4 to display a GPS in my ND CH-47?

Thanks in advance

How can I resize and reposition please?
I just have a large white circle instead of mouse pointer.

There are instructions here:
http://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv4/prepar3d/ ... ality.html

If you want to change their default position and side, you can modify the panel entries in the panels.cfg using new options documented here:
http://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv4/sdk/panel ... ult%20view

Note: click the link and scroll up a bit. The settings are at the end of the previous section. The 3dp_ entries are the ones that control panel placement.

If you want to add defaults to the scenario panels such as the timer, those are defined in missionpanels.cfg in the Gauges folder.
