...flying the Flight 1 Cessna 421 Golden Eagle - is it possible to view the flap settings properly without counting the clicks or popping outside to have a look!?

Yep, unless I'm really blind, no flap guage.  The flap selector is mostly obscured by other controlls and no window allows a better view.   Suprised as this is such a good quality product with excellent write-ups.

Why dont you just add one to it it is not that hard to do esp. if you have cfgedit you can make it where it is a seperate window and only visable when you want it or have it visable in the main panel window but this may mean a redesign of the panel and it might not fit with everything else all ready there. 8)

Gary is right thats what I'd do.Open the panel cfg for the aircraft and look to see if a flap indicator is there.If not open another cfg from a different aircraft and copy paste the gauge into the

gauges00= Like this---gauge07=Cessna!Flaps,598,286

The first two numbers after Flaps is the position on the panel. You can also change the hieght and width of the gauge by adding two numbers after the first two like this=
gauge07=Cessna!Flaps, 598,286,50,50

Then close note pad and then reload FS to check to see where the gauge is.  then move it around by going back to the note pad and changing the first numbers. By changing the first two numbers 598 being left to right and 286 being up and down. Higher is more right on the screen and higher is down on the panel. Lower being the less Like 550 or 250.
I do'nt have a panel editor yet so thats how I do gauge edits.

I have Custom Panel Designer. It won't do anything; just sits there with a blank screen like it won't execute or something. Any ideas, gents?
