I have installed an Aftermarket panel into a Dassualt 7x and I have been trying to figure out a way to shut the engines down without using the emergency switches in the overhead. Here is what I tried:
1. I added a new window named Collective. (It was an Icon that was nor already being used)
2. Placed a Collective Icon on the main panel.
3. Created what I thought was a window in the Panel cfg.

[Window13]
size_mm=75,36
background_color=16,16,16
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=5
visible=0
ident=Collective

gauge00=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 1, 3,3,21,31
gauge01=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 2, 27,3,21,31
gauge01=cpt.toggles.208!Fule 3, 51,3,21,31

Can anyone see what's wrong such that the window does not open when I click on the Icon?

Try changing the ident= line to ident=COLLECTIVE_PANEL

Also, you have 2 gauge01, and in the second you misspelled fuel.

Post back with your results.

That opened the window, but it was black.

Missing a .bmp file entry?

example :

[Window04]
file=ATC.BMP
size_mm=250
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=0
visible=1
ident=ATC_PANEL
window_size= 0.25, 0.35
window_pos= 0.54, 0.275

I've noticed that most, but not all window entries have that line included in the panel.cfg.

Also, have you included it in the windows list at the top of the panel.cfg? Wink

I used the Groundhandling entry as a guide. This is how I have it in the panel.cfg rigt now.

[Window13]
background_color=16,16,16
size_mm=75,36
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=5
visible=0
ident=Collective_panel
window_pos=0.800,0.500

gauge00=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 1, 3,3,21,31
gauge01=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 2, 24,3,21,31
gauge02=cpt.toggles.208!Fuel 3, 51,3,21,31

Do you have a link to the panel, and aircraft you are installing it in?

What do you mean? I am working with only one aircraft. The above is in the Panel.cfg of the aircraft as is the aforementioned Groundhandling panel which works perfectly. I tried to use the same format to create this Collective panel.

What I meant was,

Where can I download this plane & the panel you are using?

What I want to do, is download them, and try it myself, because it's much easier to figure out a solution that way, than trying to guess. Wink

The Aircraft is available here at Simviation. The panel is from FS Panel Studio Build no. 20339. The aircraft of course is a Dassault Flacon 7X.

You have...Fuel 1...

Try removing the space so it's ...Fuel1

Do it for all 3

This is not required, however what will be displayed is a black square with 3 toggle switches on it.

If you want a background image you will have to create one or borrow one from somewhere else.

background_color=16,16,16 dictates the background color, the 3 numbers are Red,Green,Blue values.

255,0,0 would be solid red, 0,0,255 would be solid blue, etc. BTW, 0,0,0 should be transparent, but the gauges will still show.

I changed the background_color line to read "background_color=96,96,96" The result was a color that I could live with; a moderate gray.
