Well, not sure if anybody will see this what with all the other posts here, but here goes:

I'm trying to put a HUD into a freeware F-14. I was able to accomplish the first step (wow... big achievement  :P), but I'm already  stuck on the second one. You see, it says I should insert the gauge as required, but there are 6 Vcockpit sections, and I--being new to fsx development--don't have a clue where to put it.

Here are the Vcockpits (sorry it's tiny. I was trying to conserve space):

//--------------------------------------------------------
[Vcockpit01]
Background_color=1,1,1
size_mm=512,512

visible=1
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$vc

;1 = left DDI
;2 = right DDI
;3 = center DDI

gauge00=fa-18!MFD, 20,35,460,445, 4 NOSCANLINES


//--------------------------------------------------------
[Vcockpit02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=512,512

visible=1
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$vc0

;1 = left DDI
;2 = right DDI
;3 = center DDI

gauge00=fa-18!MFD, 0,0,512,512, 1


//--------------------------------------------------------
[Vcockpit03]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=512,512

visible=1
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$vc3

;1 = left DDI
;2 = right DDI
;3 = center DDI

gauge01=fa-18!MFD, 0,0,512,512, 2

//--------------------------------------------------------
[Vcockpit04]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=512,512

visible=1
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$vc2

;1 = left DDI
;2 = right DDI
;3 = center DDI

gauge00=fa-18!MFD, 0,0,512,512, 3


//--------------------------------------------------------
[Vcockpit05]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=512,512

visible=1
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$t45vc5

gauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Audio,        0,  0,512,50
gauge01=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1,   5, 50,512,94
gauge02=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 2,   5, 144,482,83
gauge03=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio ADF,          0,226,512,90
//gauge04=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio DME,          0,180,512,41
//gauge05=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Xpndr,        0,217,512,49
//gauge06=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio AP,           0,262,512,48
windowsize_ratio=1.000
window_pos=0.756,0.358
window_size=0.243,0.641

//--------------------------------------------------------
[Vcockpit06]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=512,512

visible=1
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$vc6

gauge22=Beech_Baron!Horizontal Situation Indicator, -30, 35, 490, 465

windowsize_ratio=1.000
window_pos=0.756,0.358
window_size=0.243,0.641


[Color]
Day=255,255,255
Night=223,255,255
Luminous=246,115,119

[Default View]
X=0
Y=0
SIZE_X=8192
SIZE_Y=3200





I noticed that the default F/A-18 has no HUD gauge (at least not that was apparent) in it's panel.cfg file, as does this one, making matters even more confusing...
