I'm not sure which version Saratoga is using.  If the meatball doesn't appear in your (2002) panel the fix is

To use the meatball gauge with FS2002 follow the instructions for FS2004 and add this line to panel.cfg:

(Window XX) <- Your meatball window 
...
render_3d_window=1 <-add this line 
...
gauge00=rcb-miljet!Ball,  0,0,240,240

Hi Webb_Pa, I got the cpt.icons.cab file and put into my gauges folder and then modified the panel.cfg, the gauge shows up, however its grayed out and doesn't do anything when I click on it. I've checked to make sure I type the line right and in the right window. any ideas.

Also did saratoga get his panel uploaded yet? Thanks for all your help.

There is a new icon next to the engine controls icon, this is the one that appears to be darker gray than the others and when I pass the curser over it the curser changes to a hand and finger, but when I click it nothing happens. Check for typo's and all is fine. I've unzipped the d/l file cptts and move the cpt.icons.cab to FS9's main gauge folder. I didn't unzip the cab file itself. I then added the line "gauge51=cpt.icons!ifr, 334,395,12,12 to [Window 00]. Below is the window that I've added:

[Window10]
Background_color=0,0,0 
size_mm=400
window_size_ratio=1.00   
position=0
visible=0
ident=IFR_MAIN_PANEL
window_size= 0.240, 0.290
window_pos= 0.380, 0.700

gauge00=F16!Radar,  0,0,400,400

Have I got it wrong?

Ok, F-14 is in the system, look for it. File name is f14_panel_fullv1.zip if I remember correctly. PLEASE get a hold of me if you have any comments on it! Thanks! Ok, onto the F-22!!!!!!!

Hi Saratoga, Just went searching for your f14 panel and couldn't find it here. Can you direct me in the right direction please.

Yep it will be tommorow, no later unless something drastic happens. By the way, I left the gauges for mode and range blank (sorry) as I couldn't find any others. There is only one non-functional gauge in the panel (hey it looked good) and I used lots and lots of good gauges people like. The TCAS will be opened by a Shift command (Shift+1, Shift+2, etc.). It can be opened by the Alt menu, but there are no icons in the panel (mars the image). Hope you guys like it!

It worked before but it won't work now?  If the icon appears active but the window won't open from the alt menu or from the icon you screwed up sonething somewhere.  This is how my (FS2002) panel config looks ant it works fine:

(Window Titles)
Window00=Pilot Panel
Window01=CRT Flight Director
Window02=Radio Stack
Window03=GPS
Window04=Autopilot
Window05=HUD
Window06=HUD2
Window07=HUD3
Window08=HUD4
Window09=Meatball
Window10=TCAS

(Window00) ...   Watch the gauge numbers here!
gauge48=cpt.icons!ifr, 334,395,12,12

(Window10)
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=400
window_size_ratio=1.00   
position=0
visible=0
ident=175
window_size= 0.240, 0.290
window_pos= 0.380, 0.700

gauge00=F16!Radar,  0,0,400,400
gauge01=F16!Radar Mode,  0,0,180,22
gauge02=F16!Radar Range,  219,0,180,22

Suggest you cut & paste this into panel.cfg to avoid typos.  If you change ident=110 I can guarantee you the icon won't open it.  175 or IFR_MAIN_PANEL should work.
