Hi Guys

I noticed that some of our fleet aircraft don't have altitude callouts. In comparison to other freewares on the web, for which I know how to get around this problem, the panel.txt file in this case is rather short, having only two lines. Is there any way to add them after installing the aircraft?
Thanks biggrin

Thanks Thiago! The problem I have is the same the guy in the second video, at 5:00, has - the panel file is too short and doesn't have the gauges in it. For example, for our A380 the panel.cfg only consists of:

[fltsim]
alias=FSFSConv\PANEL.JET.A380

I looked through the other files in the A380 folder but I couldn't find the gauges anywhere. That's why I asked. Is there any way to get around this problem?

You will find the panel.cfg you are looking for in the folder \FSFSConv\PANEL.JET.A380 inside your aircraft- or simobjects-folder of your FS-installation.
