Not sure where this "tip" should be posted - but I am sure the mods will move it if in the wrong place.

I ran across this in another forum and thought it would be of interest to everyone.

To keep any PopUp window visible when changing views (they normally dissapear) just add the following line to any window entry in the panel.cfg that you wish to have stay visible.

type=special

example:

[Window05] //Digital Compass option
size_mm=101,103
background_color=0,0,0
position=2
visible=0
ident=COMPASS_PANEL
type=special

gauge00=mag_compass!compass_popup_A,6,6,95,97

----

This is a replacment Compass I use which has an optional Digital display.

I find it very useful as I often like to have the compass visible when in spot view.

This little "trick" works in both FSX and FS2004.

This an undocumented feature - it does not appear in the SDK's.

Have fun!

Good tip.

Not sure why it was moved here as it applies specifically to FS9 & FSX.

I was wondering the same thing - very doubtful many will ever see it in this location.

Wish there was a "what's new" option to bring up just a listing of new posts from all forums as many other forum sites have. If there is one here, I have not found it.

Perhaps the Scenery & Panel Design forum would be more appropriate.

Agreed - can you make that suggestion to the proper folks here?

Im so new I havent showed up yet. That said though I think what the "wish list" was, is to have that stat in the different sub menus within the forum. My 2 cents.
