Does anyone know if there is an a380 panel available which includes the Vertical Display on the ND? Even if it doesn't work fully, just showing the a/c ascent path (I'm not expecting a working weather display!).

Are you referring to the Project Airbus A380 ?  

 

Please use VasFMC (standalone version) it has a lot of stuff and it is very neat. I don't know about the weather as I am on GA's right now , but do try it. Hope it helps.

I discovered that I have a panel backed up with the vertical display (it is on the Navigational Display on the main flight instruments)!

 

 

That's from a real-world panel, not FS9 (sadly!!).

 

I found a file called 3rd.party.zip for VasFMC.. but I can't see that that is the correct file - the links which might have helped me install this are dead so I have no idea what to do to install this in my a/c. Any idea where I download the software? There are tutorials on Youtube showing how to use it, but I am not sure if I have the right files yet to install it:

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vasfmc/files/

 

If that is the file I need, then what to do with the various libraries etc??

 

I am used to using an FMC in PSS/PMDG etc., so if it isn't so different, once I get it installed then I should be OK..

 

Thanks

I installed vasFMC and then spent the afternoon adapting my previous 2D panel to fit the PA aircraft. Now it is really very nice indeed - with VC and all. I have deleted all my other a380s, which now pale in comparison to the PA+vasFMC, downloaded all liveries currently flying and am ready to go. I shall be flying a380s for a while now!

 

I had not heard of vasFMC before, so thanks for the heads up - I just have to find a manual and learn how to use it (I know the PMDG 747 CDU pretty well, plus several others, so I am hoping it will be a relatively straight forward learning curve).

Cool

 

The manual is there.   It is a similar thing to the FMC in the PMDG or Airbus.
