February 1, 201214 yr ok i have had a good look arround and found some interesting planes to fly in the race. queit different planes to be prepared for the worse to the best circumstances1 DH98 Mosquito2 Warbirdsim P513 Hawker Tempest4 P38 legends of the skyhowever not all of the planes have a GPS and a radiostack/autopilot so i would like to do the followingcreate from each plane a new version with the name and publisher RTW so that i can easily find them and i would like some help with installing modern avionics into them.i know it has been widely done and been told to me before ( been racing a couple of years) but after 4 surgerys and anesthetica i have a poor memmory in such things and the quickest is to ask you lot to help me wth the lines i need to add to the cfg file to create 2 new panels 1 for the radio/autopilot and 1 for the GPSmany thanks in advanceleonp.s. the first and last planes ar rather slow but stable the others are fast https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1i2ps64jvzuzdp/Leon.png?dl=1
February 2, 201214 yr Hi Leon,The attached text file is what I put into a lot of planes to give them basic avionics and AP functionality.Editing the panel.cfg file is pretty straight forward - just follow the pattern of grouping types which you'll find in any panel.cfg file.These modifications will provide you with a bunch of popup instruments which you can access in game from the Views menu.The basic flight instrument popup uses some of the mini panel gauges and because of this they need to be given a unique identity for each plane you put them into. Just look for where I've specified Av_Panel_Unique_Identifier in the code and give them a name which suits you. You'll have to put your name in the [Window Titles] entry at the top of the page and the [WindowXX] entry further down the page.You may also need to edit the [Autopilot] entry in your plane's aircraft.cfg file to give it this functionality if it isn't already enabled.You may also need to put the Beech_Baron.cab file into the main Gauges folder if it isn't already there. You should find it in the Baron 58s panel folder.I hope you can follow these instructions. Let me know if you have any problems. Mike Beckwith
February 2, 201214 yr Author i would like to add a gauge but cant get it to right place[Window01]BACKGROUND_COLOR=2,2,2size_mm=156,308window_size= 0.500, 0.700position=8visible=0ident=AP_Panelgauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Audio, 0, 0gauge01=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 0, 29gauge02=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 2, 0, 86gauge03=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio ADF, 0, 142gauge04=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio DME, 0, 180gauge05=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Xpndr, 0, 217gauge06=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio AP, 0, 262gauge07=Beech_Baron!Nav GPS Switch,0,262i would like to have this switch on the right side next to the rest the autopilot will notstartin GPS mode https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1i2ps64jvzuzdp/Leon.png?dl=1
February 2, 201214 yr I think these two changes will make that happen: [...]size_mm=200,308[...]gauge07=Beech_Baron!Nav GPS Switch,156,262 If you want to move the switch further to the right you can increase the "156" value on the last line. If the window is too wide, you can lower the "200" value on the size_mm line. Klas Member of AVSIM's Around the World Race Team
