2D throttle quadrant popup in default panel broken

Post by ThomasAH » Sat Feb 17, 2018 2:35 pm

Hi!

I just noticed that there is a small bug in "FSX/SimObjects/Airplanes/Cessna 310R Milviz/panel/Panel.cfg" (i.e. the default MV GNS panel without WX radar) introduced with or shortly before v171202 (it was OK in v170808) and still present in v180205 that causes the 2D popup panel for the throttle quadrant to not work:

To fix this, three lines need to be changed, additionally there is a fourth line containing what seems like a copy&paste glitch, where I don't know if this affects something, but should be corrected anyway.

The current lines are:

Code: Select all

Window02=Temp
VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,TemL,GPS_PANEL
gauge00=fsx_event_logger!event_logger,  0,0,286,547
SIZE_Y=3384KEY_MAGNETO1_BOTH
They should be changed to:

Code: Select all

Window02=Throttle
VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,THROTTLE_PANEL,GPS_PANEL
gauge00=C310_XMLGauges!C310_ThrottleQuad,  0,0,286,547
SIZE_Y=3384
Additionally there are two files "Panel - Copy.cfg" and "Panel - Copy (2).cfg" which probably should be removed.

The Panel.cfg files from all other panel variants are not affected.

The throttle quadrant popup works now in 20180220, thank you!

The following two lines mentioned above are still unchanged:

Code: Select all

VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,TemL,GPS_PANEL

SIZE_Y=3384KEY_MAGNETO1_BOTH
They may be just cosmetics (I don't know which function they have), but if you want to do a cleanup, you can change them to:

Code: Select all

VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,THROTTLE_PANEL,GPS_PANEL

SIZE_Y=3384
(i.e. TemL -> THROTTLE_PANEL and remove the extra "KEY_MAGNETO1_BOTH")
