Problem There are only two 2d instrument panels on Glider

[Evgheny]

The glider supports three 2-D instrument panels which can be selected with CTRL+down and CTRL+up .

It's quote from PDF documentation of DeltaGlider.

But I have only two instrument panels (top and middle). When I press CTRL+DOWN in middle panel - nothing happens.

How to fix this?

Really? I just tried it, and got it to show up just fine. besides, there's no instruments there, just the left and right wheel brakes, gear, nose cone, and docking release controls. , . g k and Ctrl+d, in order.

Yeap, I know what instruments are there (I've seen in documentation screenshot) and there are shortcuts for them.

But I'm just sad that the third bottom panel doesn't work for me. (I press CTRL+Down and no result).


I've downloaded Orbiter version from sourceforge and installed as usual. (Windows 7)

Isn't there only two in the 2010 version?

That's what I thought, but I'm not at home so I can't check. The panels were re-done for 2010 using the new sketchpad, and the design may have changed.

i would look, but i loaned my flash drive to someone...in my vauge memory of the DG it has only two panels... i could be wrong

 

[Evgheny]

So pdf-instruction may be outdated? for another version of orbiter?

I also can see only two panels in the DG. I want to point out though, that you can see more stuff in the main panel looking at its bottom keeping pressed the down arrow (without CTRL).

I've searched the quoted string you supplied at the beginining of this thread and I just couldn't find it.

I've looked into my Orbiter folder:
..\orbiter100830\Doc\DeltaGlider.pdf
..\orbiter100830\Doc\DeltaGliderIV\res\DGIV_Documentation_en.pdf

Are we speaking about the "plain DeltaGlider" (the one included in Orbiter core-distribution) OR the DelatGliderIV-2 by DanSteph?

I thought so too, but about 3 weeks ago, that bottom panel showed up by accident...
If it's that important, just hit F8 and go the the VC.

BTW, the DGIV-2 has a lower panel for fuel, payload, crew, communication, and autopilot management.
