I believe it requires manual installation. I mean open the panel through an editor (cfgedit can do) and select your wing views in the view backgrounds (front, back , left, right, front-left, ......) section.

Hey, didnt any kind of information on installing the wing views come along with your package ?, the designer must have included some sort of reference; maybe in the readme ??

Well, in any case,
If you have fs2000 you can look up any of the panel.cfg of any default aircraft files; they all have views as seperate *.bmp files unlike fs2002, '98 '95 and so on.
In fs2002 (pro), the default Learjet and mooney still use the fs2000 panels so you may find some working examples there.


Try the following to install manually your views through the cfg file.

DONT FORGET TO BACKUP !
Shocked Shocked Shocked

Using any text editor [notepad], open your existing atr panel's  panel.cfg file and look for something like:

[Window Titles]
window00=Main Panel
Window02=GPS
window03=Throttle Quadrant
window04=Annunciator
window05=Compass


Add this line
Fixed Window30=Left
Fixed Window31=Right


After the main panel declerations add:
[Fixed Window30]
file=**left_your_name**.bmp
visible=0
nomenu=1
render_3d_window=1
window_pos=0.0,0.0
window_size=1.000,1.000
ident=30

[Fixed Window31]
file=**right_your_name**.bmp
visible=0
nomenu=1
render_3d_window=1
window_pos=0.0,0.0
window_size=1.000,1.000
ident=31


Think this should work; Wink

Why dont you use an editor ? CFGEDIT available free even here on simviation would simplify things up.

Hi Asaf,

I forgot a line while posting the last reply: Roll Eyes

In the panel.cfg along with the other lines i mentioned, under the [VIEWS] section, just after the [Window Titles], add these two lines:

VIEW_RIGHT_WINDOWS=31
VIEW_LEFT_WINDOWS=30  


note: If [VIEWS] does not exist, then you have to add it manually.

These define what [Fixed Window31] and [Fixed Window30] are, (left and right views), and probably were responsible for the not working

Hope this works !  Wink If not, send me the panel.cfg file you are using by email (mentioned in my profile) and i'll fix it up myself. 8) 8)
