INSTALLATION.

Copy file pfdvge.xml from folder DirectOutput_Gauges to folder Saitek\DirectOutput\Gauges

Copy bmp files from folder DirectOutput_Gauges_1024 to folder Saitek\DirectOutput\Gauges\1024

Open file SaiFlightSimX.xml located in folder Saitek\DirectOutput and paste following lines:

<Gauge Timeout="100" RootFolder="Relative" File="pfdvge.xml">
    <Button Id="1" Name="" Event="FLIGHT_MAP"/>
    <Button Id="2" Name="" Event="PANEL_1"/>
    <Button Id="3" Name="" Event="PANEL_2"/>
    <Button Id="4" Name="" Event="PANEL_3"/>
    <Button Id="5" Name="" Event="PANEL_4"/>
    <Button Id="6" Name="" Event="PANEL_5"/>
</Gauge>

Important, let blank between "" for Name="" because this gauge fills all available space of the Flight Instrument Panel.

It is very easy to delete whatever element you don't want by opening file pfdvge.xml (I use Notepad ++). All elements have a title for what they provide.

Have a nice flight,
