I would upload this to the library but need permission from Oleksiy and he is not answering the e-mails.Here are the steps:1) VERY IMPORTANT: You must have Oleksiy Frolov Dash8 and its FS9 update installed in your FS9 aircraft library. Failure to do so will produce FS to crash when you try to load the Dreamwings Dash 8.2) Of course get from Avsim or any other web site the Dreamwings Dash 8.3) From the Oleksiy Frolov Dash 8 copy the following folders (COPY, NOT CUT. We need every file to stay in Oleksiy Frolov dash 8 aircraft folder to prevent crashes):a) Panel:( FMSc) Inid) Sound (optional)e) Docs (optional)And paste everything (overwriting if necessary) in the Dreamwings Dash 8 aircraft folder.4) Edit the DW dash 8 aircraft.cfg and paste the text in the following post after the word "general"These FDEs are a mix of the Dreamwings' and Oleksiy Frolov's ACs so the panel works effectively with the DW Dash8, plus some things I changed to improve the FDEs.Pls Let me know how it worked, or if you need some extra help with the installation.Thanks,Leo

Excellent! This is just what I needed. Thank you!Misha

I did an article on installing the Fanda panel and sounds with other Dash8 models over at FlightSim, you will find it in the HowTo sectionNigelVancouver

Hey Leo!Thanks for this! One more question!!!!!! Have you figured out how to get the sounds to work on the dreamwings Dash, or any other turboprop for that matter?Thanks for any help!Sincerely,Dennis D. Mullert

Dennis,I don't know if this is what you want, but you have to replace the sound.cfg inside of the Sound folder of the aircraft. I always works for me.Hope it helps,Leo
