| Yes, I guess you did Mark...sorry...I got mixed up with some of my questions. I may have worded my question poorly. When I said SimIcons, I'm referring to this object in the lower left corner of the sim screen: Editing the panel.cfg file, [Window03], can I replace some of the existing panels, for example, the Radio panel with say, the over head panel? I don't think the panel.cfg file is the right one since I don't see EFB or CDU, etc? Thank you again... |
For resizing the Simicons panel, change the size_mm=120,160 of [Window01] AND the size of gauge00=Captain_Sim.x777.tools!icons,0,0,120,160 to match, like this:
[Window01]
size_mm=120,160
background_color=0,0,0
window_pos=0.000,0.75
type=special
visible=1
render_3d_window=0
zorder=99
ident=11101
gauge00=Captain_Sim.x777.tools!icons,0,0,120,160
But as a consequence of resizing it (I tried 50% larger and used 180,240 as the size), the bottom of the gauge was missing, so you need to either (1) change the location in window_pos=0.000,0.75, or (2) comment out the window_pos= line by adding a forward slash (or deleting it) AND then replace it with position=6 (6 places it in the lower left side of the screen (where it is located using the window_pos= entry, but with the difference being that the position= entry will make the entire gauge visible). Positions are as follows:
0 = upper-left corner
1 = upper-middle side
2 = upper-right corner
3 = middle-left side
4 = middle
5 = middle-right side
6 = lower-left corner
7 = lower-middle side
8 = lower-right corner
To add other icon to the Simicons panel, you lengthen it's size, i.e. size_mm=120,160, by increasing the last set of digits. So if I wanted to add something else to it, I would add another gauge at the bottom, i.e. gauge01=gauge name, coords, size.
The coords would have to start at 0,160, and the size can be up to 120 wide, and however deep you make it. So if I change 160 to 200, then the depth will be 40.
You could change the Simicon panel IF you edit the Captain_Sim.x777.tools!icons gauge. You would probably be better off to replace it with a Simicons panel of your own. :-/
