Currently there isn't a way to load nasal code when a scenario is loaded and

Please ignore that question. Roy Vegard pointed out that I can load nasal

I'm having some problems with hotspots that I can't figure out.
I've looked at several of the FG aircraft and can't figure out what the

512
1024
panel hotspots

512
10
Hi guys
I found the problem.
The hotspot code doesn't work if you tilt the panel!
Visually the hotspots appear in the right locations but the code that picks up
the mouse events must be at fault.
If the tilt is minor - as on the B1900D overhead panel - you can get away with
it but on the 737-300
