Don't like your Default Minipanel in FSX?

Well here is how you can change it.

Go to your Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Gauges folder and look for your Minipanel.cfg file.

First MAKE A COPY OF THE FILE.

Then, at least in my file, insert your new Minipanel like this. This is a transparent minipanel I like for single engine planes.
