Before I post a bug report on their website, could someone tell me where my stupidity lies: I can't get the Tinmouse.org 737-200 panel to work in FS9. I've downloaded their 8th of march and 23rd of march gauge builds with respective .cfg files, but all I get is "you can use this aircraft, but some features will be disabled: B732.gau" which is the only .gau file. I've also tried the FS2002 versions to no avail, I've also tried installing into both the panel folder or the main gauges folder without success...am I missing something?Thanks in advance!Best,sg

sg,The error msg pertains to the aircraft you're using. Which one? Is it an FS2004 compatible aircraft? Regards,Dave Vega

I have downloaded two repaints of Erick Cantu's 737-200, both said they're for FS2k4. However, the error I receive specifically states the part which much be disabled is B732.gau which is obviously the panel. Is that really an aircraft error?Thanks for the reply!Best,sg

Steve,From the FAQ on Tinmouse.org:*************"When will the panel be finished?I'm shooting for winter 2005. This is something I do in my spare time which is currently limited. The more help I can get, the faster the project will move.Is there a FS2004 version planned?We'll eventually get one in the works, yes. The FS2002 files can be used in FS2004 with the understanding that there might be occasional problems here or there."**************I'll try it myself soon. When I do rarely fly a jet, it's usually FFX's 732, as it's one of my favorite jets, period. :)I'm relatively certain that the gauge in question is the reason for the message, not the aircraft model or a discrepancy in the aircraft.cfg. It was made for FS2002 and may have to be reworked to function properly in FS2004.Kevin

I'm also using their gauge build that is specifically labeled for fs2004. I have also tried their fs2002 version without success.Thanks though,sg(Scott Gridley, but you can call me steve ;))

One other follow-up, Kevin - which panel do you prefer with the FFX? Since I haven't gotten the tinmouse panel to work, I downloaded the Lu

sg,Since I'm using that panel with FS9, and FFX's 732s, it should work. Lets try a couple of things: ensure there's only one B732.gau gauge file in your FS9's gauges folder. If you have to delete the one there and replace to be sure, do so. Ensure B732.gau is either on FS9's guage folder, or in the panel folder, but not in both. I don't know if this really is an issue, but just in case. Also suggest deleting FS9.cfg and letting the system generate a new one. Lets see what happens. Dave Vega

Thanks for helping me out here, Dave!>Ensure B732.gau is either on FS9's guage folder, or in the panel folder, but not in both.Check! I was afraid that I had installed the FS2k2 version, so I had searched my FS9 folders for it - only one copy. Currently in my Panel folder - I have the panel in fsfsconvPanel.B732 folder, and I've aliased it in the panel.cfg. Have you installed it directly? Maybe I should give that a go?Recently deleted the FS9.cfg (after installing the 56.64 drivers).Next?Best,sg

Scott and/or Steve (sorry about that),I assumed that in the FS2004 gauge package on Tinmouse, Richard has included all the FS2004 compatible gauges he can at the time (the ones that can be released, anyway) but has not finished with all of them (thus a mix of 2002's and 2004's). I may well be mistaken and haven't even tried the panel yet. An e-mail to Mr. Probst may sort this easily enough though he's a busy man, for sure.I am currently using Terblanche Jordaan's B732 panel and really enjoy flying it. The glass in this panel is all round-shaped ;-), and this appeals to me greatly in this bird. In my 732, I've edited the panel.cfg to include the side and other look-around views from Helio Estrela's B732 panel, as I preferred them to others available at the time. I've attached a pic for you. I don't remember the filename for Terblanche's panel, but I rather suspect I got it from AVSIM and that a search using his name will get you on track. I e-mailed him for support once and got a very friendly and helpful reply (same with Helio). They're the sort that make me so glad to be a member of this community.Hope you're happy with the office you decide upon.Happy flying,KevinEDIT: Oops. Forgot to attach the pic.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/68527.jpg

My tinmouse problem may be solved! I replaced the version of FSSound.dll that was in my modules folder with a fresh copy of version 1.5.0.2 downloaded from the developers' site, and everything seems to be working. Not sure what was wrong with the FSSound that was in there, but there you have it.Thanks all!Best,sg

I'm glad you solved it, the tinmouse panel is very worthwhile. The autopilot is quite different from a more modern 737 autopilot, but it's not hard to use once you get into it. One of the cool things about it is it has a working control wheel steering function (CWS). That is, you set the heading and pitch with your controller, and it holds it.

Scott,Sorry to you and to Richard Probst to have suggested that he would release a panel for use in FS2004 and provide a gauge that is wholly incompatible. Ignorance-fueled guesswork on my part, as I hadn't even looked at the files until last night.I finally installed it, and I am VERY impressed with his panel! I'll keep my tweaked version of Terblanche's panel linked to a particular livery, but the rest are sporting a new model, new panel, and new sounds. Yep, sounds like a great weekend!I'm glad you got it sorted.Happy flying,Kevin

Thanks for the reply! I too am enjoying this panel - but you said it: THE SOUNDS! Fabulous sound set - I'm going to have to play with some sliders to hear atc over the engines and cockpit rattles. Simply brilliant. Sounds are at tinmouse.org as well, for anyone interested.Best,sg
