So I recently rebuilt some of the stock gauge displays for personal preference for my virtual cockpit program/display, and now I'd like to know if anyone knows how to put chat/damage logs onto virtual cockpit since I still have room on my 2nd monitor. I just want to declutter my main screen while keeping the same information available. Any help would be appreciated. (and please, let me know if this is not allowed.)

I don't think that's possible at the moment with one exception...

If you open your "conf.ini" you will find a line like this:

[Console]
IP=20001

That number is a port you can telnet to and, among other things, it will show you all the console and chat messages.

Also, if anyone can help with this-- trying to set this indicator light, most specifically so I see if I am approaching the max airspeed of an aircraft. I have it positioned, but it doesn't change the colors according to the parameters.

Indicator{
Class = Indicator;
Left = 105;
Top = 175;
Width = 30;
Height = 30;
ParamType = I_VelocityIAS;
ParamSubtype = 1;
MinValue = 40;
MaxValue = 420;
Ranges{
Cool{
MaxValue = 100;
Shape{{Class = Ellipse; Center = 15/15; Radius = 10; Color = $FF0000FF}}
}
Norm{
MinValue = 100.0001;
MaxValue = 350;
Shape{{Class = Ellipse; Center = 15/15; Radius = 10; Color = $FF00FF00}}
}
High{
MinValue = 350.0001;
MaxValue = 395;
Shape{{Class = Ellipse; Center = 15/15; Radius = 10; Color = $FFB0B000}}
}
OverSpeed{
MinValue = 395.0001;
Shape{{Class = Ellipse; Center = 15/15; Radius = 10; Color = $FFFF0000}}
}
}
}
}
