Heh - this comes one up every now and then and I keep telling
myself I'll figure out the code enough to make it optional.
I once asked for this feature and one of the developers told
how...
comment out lines 98 & 99 on panel.cxx so it looks like
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Global functions.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
bool
fgPanelVisible ()
{
if(globals->get_current_panel() == 0)
return false;
if(globals->get_current_panel()->getVisibility() == 0)
return false;
// if(globals->get_viewmgr()->get_current() != 0)
// return false;
if(globals->get_current_view()->getHeadingOffset_deg() *
SGD_DEGREES_TO_RADIANS != 0)
return false;
return true;
}
Watch out for the line-wrap.
This will make the 2d panels visible in every view while the
pitch and direction are unchanged. The panel disappears if you
pan the view.
