Hi all, I was using the Loader to install some weapons when I came upon a rotorcraft I have that has 2 'Panel.cfg' files. Actually, I then found that several of my planes and rotorcraft have this additional Panel file.

The difference is that one is named "Panel.cfg" and the other is named "panelg.cfg" or some have "Panel340.cfg" etc.

Does it matter if I load weapons into the panel file that has that 'extra' suffix?

Should we load into both?

The answer is likely to be "No" and "No" but I'm not real sure.

Not too long ago I made some Shockwave lights for the another company Constellation and found that it had 2 "Aircraft.cfg" files. The other was named "Aircraft_.cfg". So I just changed the light data in both of them and I don't know if I had to but it worked fine.

I'm guessing this may be a similar situation.
Thanks

Hi winclip

I would not recommend changing those panel files because FSX only reads the one named panel.cfg (AFAIK). Those panel files with the "extra" bits are probably associated with a program that can switch between different panel settings (with different gauges in it).

Besides that, Weapon will have copied the panel.cfg, that is currently being used by that aircraft/rotorcraft, made its modifications and placed the modified panel.cfg in the panel.csweapon folder.

Hope you can make sense of what I just said.

Yes I think I got it Mark. I'll just stick with the straight "Panel.cfg" when I use the weapons Loader. Thank You
