Anyone else noticed some missing gauges?

According to FS Panel Studio, the following are missing:

DC6KMGC!FLUID LEVEL RESETS
DC6KMGC!RANDOM_LOAD
DC6KMGC!RUDDER_TRIM
DC6KMGC!RUDDER_TRIM_WHEEL

These are on the main panel and the last two are also on the co-pilots panel. I looked inside the DC6KMGC.cab file to verify that they are missing.

Other than that, this is a fantastic panel!

I truely don't know ! :think:

Either they're missing as you say .... or .... been made redundant from the package but maybe never removed from the PANEL.CFG.

Whatever the case may be there must be a legitimate reason for any supposed omission :)

"IF" they are indeed missing .... then that would surprise me really .... because both George CARTY, and Tom GIBSON collaborated together prior to the release of this particular panel upgrade .... or so I understand !

I'd be very surprised if Tom failed to pick up on any details like this prior to release.

Ah, yes they could be redundant and the entries not removed from the panel. There is a gauge "km_random_number!single_instance" in the panel which could very well be the replacement for "DC6KMGC!RANDOM_LOAD" for starters.

Anyway - apologies for being such a nit picker.

"NO PROBLEM" Nigel .... and I don't consider you "nit picking" in the least .... but rather .... just being prudent in commenting regarding your personal observation ;-)

Yes those gauges are indeed missing, but it seems that they were also missing from the Tom Gibson panel which I used as my starting point...

They were missing on the original Ken Mitchell panel too. They don't seem to really affect anything, just some unfinished work, perhaps?

Edit - Whoops! Sorry George, you just said much the same. J
