You want your VC MCP to be DISPLAY Blank when in a 'Cold and Dark' situation?

You'll need to be efficient in *.spb editing or converting the files to XML and editing them in there. Rename the spb files as *.org or something and use the xml, much of a muchness at a small cost in resources.

..\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B777-200ER_GE\panel\Captain_Sim.x777.G04 folder there are 4 spd files:-

G04_004_DSP.spb
G04_006_DSP.spb
G04_007_DSP.spb
G04_008_DSP.spb

Where ever you see a <Visibility> syntax add the " (L"FULL COLON"DC_CAPT_FLT_INST_BUS) and" command.

Example from the G04_004_DSP.spb file.


   <Element id="mainDSP">
     <FloatPosition>370.000,5.000</FloatPosition>
     <Visibility>(L:G04_004_BLANK) ! (L:DC_CAPT_FLT_INST_BUS) and</Visibility>
     <Element id="lcd_dot">
       <FloatPosition>150.000,192.000</FloatPosition>
       <Visibility>(L:G04_004_MOD) (L:DC_CAPT_FLT_INST_BUS) and</Visibility>
       <Image id="lcd_dot.bmp" Name="lcd_dot.bmp">
         <Transparent>true</Transparent>
         <Bright>true</Bright>
       </Image>
     </Element>

YES, I know this problem was highlighted to CS back in the dark ages. Excuse the pun!

Tanya! You gotta STOP smiles from corrupting text! THEY ARE FULL COLONS followed by a DC!
