Title: Re: The other Harrier paradox Post by Markoz on Jan 5th, 2012 at 1:58am
If you look in the original panel.cfg (the FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\*Harrier*\panel), you will see that CS Weapon has modified it.
The "Loader" usually adds the Weapon Control Panal at Window01, the HUD at Window02 and the HUD Glass at Window03 (SHIFT+1, SHIFT+2 and SHIFT+3). This sometimes messes up the aircraft panel (especially if the panel is aliased to another aircraft, as is the case in IRIS Simulations aircraft). Making changes requires matching changes in the [Window Titles] and the [WindowXX]: If I change it from this: [Window Titles] Window00=Control Panel Window01=Weapon Control Panel Window02=HUD Window03=HUD Glass to this: [Window Titles] Window00=Weapon Control Panel Window01=HUD Window02=HUD Glass Window03=Control Panel then I have to rename the windows matching the item. Using the example above (IRIS F-14B Tomcat Clean\panel.csweapon) - [Window00] will need to be renamed [Window03], [Window01] will need to be renamed [Window00], [Window02] will need to be renamed [Window01] and [Window03] will need to be renamed [Window02] so that the Window Titles match. In the IRIS F-14 it is relatively easy because there is only one 2D panel, Window00 (Control Panel), the rest of the panels are for the VC (VCockpit01 and VCockpit02), so weapon doesn't change it, other than to add itself. BUT. If there are more 2D panels, the Loader adds itself as I stated above (Windows 01 through 03). This means that the original Window01, Window02 & Window03 have been moved (most likely) to the bottom of the list. I usually modify the panel.cfg in the panel.csweapon folder, which means reworking the panel to suit both the aircraft and myself. Knowing and understanding the panel.cfg makes this a whole lot easier than it sounds. Hope I'm not confusing you too much with all that. I know it sounds hard, but once you are familiar with the workings of the panel.cfg, it's quite easy. Mark |
