I think I know what I've done wrong. Totally cocked up the cdu init file.. I'll check it again and edit my post if needs be. Sorry EDIT: OK, I didn't realise the code changed between the first post in this thread and the latest patch coming out. Got the CDU exported ok now, now hopefully I can figure out the rest.

Hello. I wondered in anyone can help. I'm trying to export the cdu display to my second monitor, but I'm getting some wierd results. I follow the above instructions to export the display, by altering the init.lua file and adding the CDU to my moniter config file and all I end up with is the CDU text exported to the top left of my main monitor like a second HUD. I have attached a zip fil;e containing the relevent lua files if anyone has got time to have a look and hopefully tell me where I've gone wrong.. Thanks in advance display config files.zip

that makes sense. I think I'll have to cut some holes into my gauges background to accomodate the tab control and the mfd bezels. when ever i click the gauges (accidently) it brings the gauge background over the tab control. Thanks again, it seems I just need a nudge in the right direction from time to time.. Edit: That's exactly what I had to do. Cheers mate.

Oops, sorry. Here it is again.. 01_Mike's Profile.zip

Hey Cleardark. Me again. OK, I've been building this profile of mine and decided to rough out a second tab for engine gauges etc. I've done that ok, but when I click on the second tab the second tab appears, but the tab controller disappears. The only way to get it back is by alt-tabbing hawg touch back on top. Have you any idea how i can keep HawgTouch on the top at all time to avoid this happening? Cheers 01_Mike's Profile.zip

Ok, and thanks alot for your help. I am learning, bit by bit, but I am gradually getting the hang on this! Cheers mate, I will continue to make this profile of mine and upload it once it's done..

I've realised what I have done.. I told you I was new to this. I missed out these lines prior to sticking in the gauges: <Control> <Name>HawgTouch Gauges Showcase</Name> <PanelImage>\Images\FltInst.png</PanelImage> <X>400</X> <Y>0</Y> <ShowTitleButtons>true</ShowTitleButtons> <SizePercent>100</SizePercent> <Gauges> <Gauge> <Name>VHFFM</Name> <Type>HawgTouch.GaugePack.Gauges.A10VHF</Type> <DataImportID>GAUGE_VHF_FM</DataImportID> <SizePercent>40</SizePercent> <Y>120</Y> <X>720</X> </Gauge> </Gauges> </Control> I guess I should have looked before hand.. I'll have to makea custom panel image with holes in for the MFCDs, but I think I'm on the right track now.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks for your help, the profile I uploaded doesn't have the gauge code in, just imagine I pasted in the code for fuel qty after the </controls> section.. New to this, never fiddled with files in this way, forgive me..

Hello all. I wonder if anyone would be able to help me out with my xml profile. I've managed to make a profile using other's examples and have got the MFCD bezels and UFC up and running. I'd like to add some gauges at this point, but when I copy and paste in the code from the 1.5 features profile, it doesn't appear on screen. If I run the 1.5 features profile, all the gauges come up, and work with the sim ok. I've looked through each xml file and can't see any differences other than the 1.5 features profile has a line that loads a panel image. Do I need this to get the gauges to work? Brilliant work by the way, I've just started with this sim, Hawg Touch just makes it! Cheers for any help.. 01_Mike's Profile.zip
