Draw on screen (Definition of [WindowNN] in panel.cfg e.t.c.)

As I see from SDK ( https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Content_Configuration/SimObjects/Aircraft_SimO/Instruments/Panel_Config_Definition.htm ) - it is possible to define [WindowNN] window like:

[Window00]

..
ident=MAIN_PANEL

..

and so on.. where gaugeNN "gaugename" parameter displays the name of the gauge you assign in your gauge code via the GAUGE_NAMEvariable (C based)


So, my quests is:

What C-based gauge actual SDK mean in this case? If I understand well - this is not WASM-based, like htmlgaugeNN. But what?

Hello @SimGoGo

This section of the doc is a remnant of FSX and has no application in MSFS as far as I know.
You can't create dedicated instruments window using this WindowNN section.

@Nocturne FYI
