I am trying to put the ACARS gauge in another A320 panel and am not having any luck. I have tried using the instruction in the ACARS manual and the gauge ends up in the upper left corner of my screen. It shows to be a part of the window looking out of the plane. Any suggestions on how to get this working?

Michael you do not need to install the gauge in the aircraft to fly here it only is there to show phases of flight. Hope that helps

Change the panel.cfg line - the first two numbers are the X,Y position on the screen.

Luke, I did try changing the panel.cfg and could not get the X and Y positions to work correctly. I used the information in the ACARS manual in Window00 and it was gauges 58 and 59.
