DA Fokker 100 Custom Panel Problem

   Hi Guys,
  very new to FSPS and Gauges and having a little difficulty.
  I'm trying to create some 1280x1024 custom panels for the DA Fokker 100.
  When placing the 'Glass' gauges (AOG_F70100!DU_U_DISP for eg) they appear blank when in FSX.  I've been trying on a new Window in the original Panel and on a new Panel without joy.
  Is there some initialisation that goes on and because these Gauges are on new windows they arn't being started?  Can the gauges only be used on one Window?
  I had a similar problem with the 'glass' gauges on the F1 ATR72-500 but on that plane they had several variations of the same gauge and I went through them until I found one that would activate.  The Fokker seems to have just one version of these gauges.
  Any help would be apprciated.

Cheers.
Gav.

	Advanced glass gauges typically "talk" to one another or rely on the presence of other gauges to be able to work correctly. A brute force approach would be to add all of the gauges on the default panel to your new one, and then delete the ones you don't want until the gauges stop working. Hope this helps,

	Copying the 'MAIN_PANEL' does seem to do the trick. The main panel doesn't now work, but that's not really a problem. As you say, I can now go through and remove what I don't want and add some gauges from other panels (hopefully). Cheers. Gav.
