Gauges for FS98:

These are set of 5 stand alone "switches" used to toggle other windows. They work in the same manner as the Avionics Master Switch, which is used to toggle the Radio stack. These 5 will toggle 5 different windows with ID numbers 30, 31, 32, 33, 34. The window id numbers should be set on the panel.cfg file.
Ex:
[Window02]
file=RMI_Background.bmp
size_mm=110
position=6
visible=0
ident=33 <--- Window ID number

Each gauge is named TogglePanel.XX.gau where XX is the ID number of the window it will toggle. You can install each of these gauges in the panel.cfg file just like any other gauge.
The gauge is 40 mm wide and the bitmap used is a generic bitmap. Feel free to change it to suit your needs using Gauge Browser by Benjamin Chen or Chuck Dome's GAU2BMP.
If you want a different BMP (of a different size) embedded in the gauge, send me the BMP and I will recompile the gauge with your BMP.

Special Thanks to Microsoft Corporation for giving us the greatest PC simulator, FS98, and putting out the Panel SDK with out which this would not be possible.
