integrated flight instruments B737 ngx

Hello, I use for several years OC4BAv4 without any problem (overhead, mip) on the pmdg 737 ngx, but I have a lack that are the spare instruments that as you know are not pop up. I currently use Air Manager gauges but it is not quite suited to pmdg 737, it's better than nothing.
My question is: Is there better equipment for Stanby Flight Display and Stanby Radio Magnetic Indicator than Air Manager. Could this be your skill to create one?
Greetings.

Hi,
You can always try this method:

Add the following to you panel.cfg in Prepar3D v4 / SImObjects/Airplanes/PMDG 737-800NGX/panel

in [Windows Titles]:

window20=Standby Instruments


// Standby Instruments

in [VIEWS]:

[Window20]
BACKGROUND_COLOR=30,30,30
size_mm=250, 510
window_size= 0.20052, 0.50000
position=4
visible=1
ident=STB
zorder=99
gauge00=PMDG_737NGX!Standby, -30, -320, 300, 850


now they are pop outs

Hello, it's for FSX-SE, it works perfectly, just to resize to integrate it to my MIP and it's perfect.
To put in useful links it can serve others.

In my view better and cheaper, but I am maybe biased :D

Hello Roar
Did this and it works as mentioned, but in my case the framrates droppes down to 10 from 40. Using P3D 4.5.
Running in 3D mode. If I tap the "a" key around in cockpit from Captains mode and back I will get my framrates back to 40 but then the standby Instruments doesnt move. Have the instruments on a third screen together with upper DU.
Any clues?
