Ariane in FS2004

[Guest]

Hi all,Just wondering: has anybody tried the Ariane B737 panel in FS2004, and with what results? Just want to make sure before I buy...-MarcMarc Gibsonhttp://www.freewebs.com/flightsimcfi/http://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg

Hello Marc,I have had time just to move it, load it and do a quick take off - no problems so far. I can't say that it is thoroughly tested yet, I will probably be able to a full flight by this weekend. If no one else chimes in I'll report back.Joe LorencPhiladelphia/Charlotte Hub Manager, Carolina Operations, VN7 Networkhttp://www.vn7network.com/

Joe,DF737 is not compatible with FS2004; is that because i've decided to buy Ariane v.2 B734 and also their analogue cockpit.Did a short test flight in the afternoon and i have some small questions:1) i'm unable to "enlight" side fixed views flying at night; those .bmp's remain dark also when panel light is on. Is that normal in your experience?2) how do you activate wing views? SHIFT+4 and SHIFT+6 do not work on my PC3) How did you manage to import oldie FS2k2 Ariane 737? Did you edit aircraft.cfg suiting FS2004 new standards?However, great plane and panelThanksLuigi ;-)

I've got the Ariane planes and Ariane panel working fine in FS2004. I did minor modifications to the aircraft.cfg to update it to Fs2004. I also updated the Ariane GPS section so that it shows the Garmin 500. (The TCAS is not working, but an updtae is coming).I also put the eyepoint where it should be and activate my engine and wing views via panel settings (like the DF/Ariane merge). Use ctrl+shift1, ctrl+shift+7, ctrl+shift+9 and ctrl+shift+3I'm using the Ariane airfile, but I just renamed it.Here is my KLM 737-400 new colors aircraft.cfg followed by the panel.cfgI think it's okay to post these here as it is info only, based on the original Microsoft Game.Hope this helps,Lee [fltsim.0]title=Ariane Boeing 737-400 CFM KLM New Livery//sim=Ariane Boeing 737-400 CFM KLM New Liverysim=Ariane Boeing 737-400 CFM 3C1 GMAXmodel=panel=sound=texture=kb_checklists=Boeing737-400_checkkb_reference=Boeing737-400_refkb_notes=Boeing737-400_NOTESatc_id=atc_airline=KLMatc_flight_number=73ui_manufacturer=Boeingui_type=737-400ui_variation=KLM New Liverydescription=Dr. Albert Plesman and Mr. Anthony Fokker were two young Dutch entrepreneurs who were instrumental in the development of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

BTW guys, I'm laughing hysterically, because the unhappy smiling faces that crept into the post were not my doing. It's just coincidental that there are marks there that must coincide with Avsim's code.Lee

[Guest LSangiovanni LIML]

Lee,thank you very much for sharing your tweaks!Do you think i can use same aircraft.cfg also for oldie FS2002 planes? I have plenty of them...Further, it seems that Ariane has missed a panel manual, at least i cannot find one in files i downloaded; can you please help me in finding one?Thanks againLuigi ;-)

[Hollywood 1]

i have purchased the TCAS II panel and there was some manual attached to my receipt.might be that it comes only with the TCAS IIcheers

[Guest LSangiovanni LIML]

Hi Martin,what i need is a 737-300 panel manual or at least a checklist for starting up the plane from a cold dark cockpit (useless to say TCAS system doesn't work in FS2004 but it need an upgrade); it's very strange that an outstanding and complicated panel like the Arian analogue has shipped w/o any sort of help for new users :-hmmmWhere did you learn about every single click?thanksLuigi ;-)

[SteveLewis 0]

I tried it but can't get the radios frequencies to show in the panel at all. And TCAS doesn't work -- but the fix is coming for that.Anyone know how to make the radios show up after a cold & dark start up?

[Guest Toni Rauch]

...and with it, no doubt a price tag.Version 2 seems nothing more that a couple of bug-fixes (hardly 'enhancements'), yet it's full price, AGAIN!How many times are Ariane going to sell the same plane over and over?Tweaks to ensure FS2004 compatibility should be free, IMHO.

[Midnight Music 252]

You've all got me curious, I've don't recall ever seeing an Ariane panel manual. However, the newer planes do come with a manual that helps with switches and assignments. You have to experiment a bit. That's what I do. I looked at the new aircraft.cfg for the FS2004 737 and found a few new lines that are not in the FS2002 version. It tells me that there are a few new parameters. However, some of the old ones are gone. Confused yet?As for cold and dark start, I can't say. I usually avoid it because it never works quite right on 3rd party panels in FS2004...so far.Lee

[Guest Timbo]

Toni,Whenever I see a post about Ariane, I can always count on you coming in and slandering them. Rather than complaining and crusading against Ariane, if you don't have anything helpful to say, don't say it. Spewing out assumptions and complaints like that inevitably gets most posts locked and leaves people without answers.[table][tr][td]http://timbo87.home.comcast.net/sig/vulc.jpg[/td][/tr][tr][td]

It occurred to me that I should post the fixed Ariane 737-300 and 737-500 files that work in FS2004. I'll do it later, after the days' work is safely completed.Lee

[Guest LSangiovanni LIML]

Thank you LeeHave a good one.

[Guest LSangiovanni LIML]

Steve,i tried and retried w/o luck! Cannot start from a cold & dark cockpit situation cause engines do not start at all.The only way i could find was CTRL+E for radios on and engines on.Anyone for an help for me and Steve?Thanks in advanceLuigi ;-)
