Hello fellow aviators,

After modifying a panel in Cfgedit, I use the "copy panel to an aircraft" tool which it does successfully, but when I go into windows explorer I find that it has created an additional folder with a heap of cfg.backup files.

Question 1. How do I get my new panel to show up in the simulator under the aircraft I have selected?

Question 2. Can I delete all the cfg.backup files and only have the oringinal modified file?

Question 3. Once the modified panel is complete, how should I save it so I can access it in the future?

If anyone could help it would be most appreciated.

Thanking you in advance

Thanks Hagar,

I've done what you advise in your reply, but when I load the aircraft in the simulator, I get no screens at all.

I must be doing something wrong!!!

It's funny, I first modiified the dash board to replace a VOR guage which I feel was mulfunctioning, and that worked, but when I went to change the layout to reduce the number of windows you need to open, it gives me nothing.

Lost in all directions, I have folders and files with all diferent names, back up files into the 40's,  forgeting where and what I put last etc.

I know your example in your reply is quite easy to understand, but I still can't get it right.

Should I delete the original PANEL folder from the aircraft root directory, or leave it where it is and change the AIRCRAFT.cfg like you showed me.???

Anyway, not knowing whats what, I will start all over again, hoping to work it out on the way.

Any further advice would be most apreciated.

hagar,

I thinks it's just a matter of trial and error.

I shall stick at it!

Thanks again
