Hello to AllThere is an :-jumpy EXCELLENT :-jumpy A300B4 panel by Benoit Gaurant for FS2002 at the "other site" and I found it also in www.fs2000.org -> freeware downloads -> panels -> Scroll down or Search for A300This panel just rocks !!! :-jumpy:-jumpy:-jumpyWhat we have: A very nice Panel + an aircraftAutopilot just like the A300B4 including Flight Directors, IAS Hold, PITCH hold, ROLL hold modes and AUTOLAND 2 and 3. There was no VS hold in A300B4 and you will NOT find one here.Thrust rating panel that sets and holds acurately N1 (within .1-.2 )Flight Engineer Panel with Electrics, Hydraulics and APU. NO FAKE switches here !!!Failures Panel. Yes !!! and if you press I to see smoke, you will see smoke from ENG2 accompanied with and Engine2 FIRE WARNING. The attention to detail is so hudge that, if you switch on the HYD power tranfer switches and then the GREEN system electropumps, the pressure on BLUE and YELLO systems will start to rise after the HYD press in GREEN system has rised and the LO PRESS warning light has extinguished (Provided Engines are off or ENGINE DRIVEN HYD pumps are all off)If you find yourself without APU and Generators, turnn the switch to EMER BUS.You need you also download the manual if you really want to enjoy this MASTERPIECE.PANEL: a3bgt_20.zip 3.3MBMANUAL: a3002_gb.zip 2.2MBSOUNDS: a3bgtsnd.zip 10MB (only FLIGHTSIM.COM)To my opinion, this A300B4 panel and Benoit Gaurant goes along with Richard Probst's, Bill Grabowski's and other great freeware panels' Developers. (Sorry if I miss other great freeware panels and developers, this is not intentional, usualy I fly Jets) This is a :-eek MUST HAVE :-eek panel.

Thank you! Downloading now.Gavin

I'm bumping this so others can avare of it..

the A300B4 panel is in the library !!!Airbus A300-B4-2C (Download #34510) A300B4-2C English Documentation (Download #34511) A300B4-2C French Documentation (Download #34512) Airbus A300B Panel Sounds (Download #34513) Enjoy!!! Samuel Kalachoras :-waveAthensGreece

I'll bump it too.It's a great package.'No more good freeware, moan, moan, moan' What a load of b------s.Go get it!Gavin

It will work in FS9!The answers here:FS9 is more picky with spaces in the panel config filehttp://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...d=133874#134190At least I just did the Caravelle panel, not got to the A300 yetJackhttp://www.dolphin-star.net/TCA/Paintshop/ybanner_tca_FM.gif

Yep the A300 panel works in FS9 too !Just get rid of the spaces in the panel.cfg file, as above.You do have to put a300bgt2.gau=1 in the OLDMODULES section of the fs9.cfg file to stop the warning message.With both the A300 and Caravelle panels it's important that you follow the panel procedures in the docs, but it's definitely worth the effort. Thanks Benoit ......Jackhttp://www.dolphin-star.net/TCA/Paintshop/ybanner_tca_FM.gif

Thanks for the tip! I got it working with a plane from flightsimpakistan.com and it works like a charm. I have also added the flight deck views from Paul Golding's A310 package. I have not experienced any errors even though I have not put the guage file under [old modules].Again, thanks for the heads-up!Cheers!Richard

Again BUMP !!!Thanks for the FS9 tips. Have nice flights:-beerchugSamuel Kalachoras :-waveAthensGreece
