Is anyone familiar with how to program information on the keypad below the HUD on the A-29 by Tim Conrad? I've never found anything in the limited readme's that Tim supplied.

I believe Piglet's modern military planes were all reusing the default Hornet avionics. This might apply to that instrument as well.
So you might want to check some real or sim F-18 manuals, or perhaps find some tutorial videos ?

Thanks, however after dissecting the VC panel in FSPanel Studio it looks like Tim used the Chinese menu style of putting the key pad together (one from column A and one from column B). The references in the manual don't correlate to the available keys in the VC so unless someone who is actually using the keypad in the A-29 can throw in their 2cents I'm going with my fix which was to add a standard AP in a pop-up window. Problem solved.

I added an AP likewise to my widescreen ver of the panel.
I guess I must upload it sometime...;)

Reason I hadn't is I could not for the life of me work out how to animate a side-opening canopy. I have a feeling it's impossible...;)
