Hi Tom.
Did exactly as you posted.Slight prob though,only one wing view. So I started to tweek,as you do.Far from improving the situation,I was making things worse.Time for a Diet Coke and a smoke
I checked Flyaway for wing views and nothing for the MadDog. Googled it and found something called "Ultimate Wing Views" for the MD8X. Pasted the details into the panel cfg,saved and started FS9. This time excellent wing views but no front left/right bitmaps. I was getting close. Went back to your last posting and saw the cfg entries for front left/right bitmap views. Pasted them in to the panel cfg and deleted the "UWV" entries for the same views.
Bingo:groupwave:
Prefect wing views AND front left/right bitmap views.
This is how the new Panel cfg looks:

You'll see I've included the indispensible Servinfo gauge and also put in a better radio stack for flying online. Much credit to Ken Mitchell who makes great panels.Anyone reading this who likes analogue panels should check this out:
Once again Tom I owe you a debt of thanks. Theres a pint of Guiness with my name on it waiting for me in my local.I will toast your good health tonight. 🍻
