Remove FSMap gauge from Flight
Simulator
To remove the FSMap gauge from Flight Simulator, click on the appropriate
icon in the icon bar. The FSMap application will ask you if you want to
remove all panel modifications from all aircraft as well. You may answer
“no” here to remove the gauge file only. Please note that some panels
may not work correctly after doing this. In this case you should remove
such panel modifications manually.
Add a hotspot to a panel
To add a hotspot for FSMap to a panel, first select the aircraft and
paintjob from the aircraft tree in the entry bar. Click on the panel view
where you want the hotspot to be added, and place the hotspot by
either clicking on the appropriate icon in the icon bar, or by selecting
“add hotspot” from the options menu accessible with a right-click.
Your new hotspot will appear in the upper left corner. The hotspot
has “grip handles” allowing you to resize and move the object with
your mouse as required. You may also use the keyboard instead of the
mouse: The hotspot can be moved using the arrow keys, SHIFT-arrows
will change the hotspot’s size. When keeping the CTRL-Key depressed,
all keyboard actions will happen accelerated. The currently selected
hotspot may be deleted by pressing the DELETE key. There is an appro-
priate icon in the icon bar available as well.
A hotspot doesn’t necessarily need to be visible. FSMap allows you to
place an invisible hotspot as well. To make a hotspot invisible, select
the hotspot, then right-click on it and choose “Edit Properties” from
the pop-up menu. A dialog window will appear. To turn the hotspot
invisible, sign the checkbox labled “Invisible hotspot”.
