S550 with ISG FMS

[blahhhblahhh 0]

Ooops sorry guys. I think my file hosting service is closed to France only.

So here is the link on mega (w/ updated files so don't use the previous link) :

@silverheels2: Sorry I can't package anything! Because it's an old-school .gau gauge (not an fsx one) you will need FS Panel Studio and modify gauges by yourself (I'm not allowed to redistribuate the modified file).

But you don't need to be a software developer to do it, just follow these steps:

 

1/ backup your isg1.gau file (in gauges folder)

2/ Launch FS Panel Studio (run as administrator, very important), Tools > Gauge Editor

3/ Select the isg1.gau file in the gauge files list (first list on the left)

4/ Select the GNSXLS gauge in the gauges list (second list on the right) and click the open button.

5/ Select the 9752 bitmap resource id on the left list then click on the 'Edit Bitmap' button 

6/ FS panel will launch your bitmap editor and open the background picture.

7/ Open the right bmp file (GNSXLS_9752.bmp) and copy/paste to the bg file.

8/ Close your bitmap editor and go back to fs panel studio. The picture will be updated.

 

Just repeat the steps 4-8 for the folloing gauges :

- GNSXLS, Resource #9752 with the file: GNSXLS_9752.bmp

- EFS50_EHSI_CNTR, Resource #9778 with the file: EFS50_EHSI_CNTR.bmp

- LNAV, Resource #9816 with the file: LNAV_9816.bmp

- LNAV, Resource #9824 with the file: LNAV_9824.bmp

- VNAV, Resource #9780 with the file: VNAV_9780.bmp

- VNAV, Resource #9784 with the file: LNAV_9784.bmp

 

Next, go to your SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado S550_Citation II folder then:

1/ copy/paste the panel folder to panel.isg folder

2/ Edit the panel.cfg file (sections Vcockpit01 to Vcockpit04) as mentioned in my previous post.

3/ Copy/paste a texture folder, eg Texture.1 (white livery) to a new folder Texture.7

4/ Copy the following files into this folder :

   - ccqccd_int1.dds

   - ccqccd_int1_night.dds

   - ccqccd_int2.dds

   - ccqccd_int2_night.dds

   - Gauges_1.dds

   - Gauges_1_night.dds

   - Gauges_1_night2.dds

   - Gauges_2.dds

   - Gauges_2_night.dds

   - Gauges_2_night2.dds

5/ Be sure to have a texture.cfg file inside your texture folder with the following code inside :

[fltsim]


fallback.1=..\texture.Common

6/ Edit the aircraft.cfg file and add a new aircraft variant like this :

[fltsim.7]
title=Carenado S550 Citation II 7
sim=S550
model=
panel=isg
sound=
texture=7
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=F-AWFF
ui_manufacturer="Carenado"
ui_type=S550 Citation II
ui_typerole="Twin Engine Jet"
ui_createdby="Carenado"
ui_variation=F-AWFF
description=
atc_heavy=0
atc_airline=
atc_flight_number=
atc_id_color=0000000000
visual_damage=1

And that's all!

blahhhblahhh,

 

Would you post a few 'before' and 'after' screenshots that show your modifications and upgrades? Thanks for all your hard work.

 

Regards,

 

Ray

That worked! except the 100mb file was corrupted and the mega.co.nz didn't show any files to download., I'll have a play with the files I have over the next few days. Thanks for providing your mods.

I have just skimmed though the 13 pages of this post. Can i use all the gauges and mods in VC only, i mean will i be able to control the aircraft without going into 2D. I always used to fly with 2D only, but now only VC.  Janic has done a awesome job.

..well,Carenado C550 does not have 2D panels...:-)))just VC and pop-ups.So install it like it is provided, no other changes are needed!

[Dutch1 24]

Thanks Petr, thats kinda what i mean. I do not want pop ups, i want to operate in VC, will that work....I have the ISG gauges

[Dirk98 354]

I would like to get this mod too. I bought ISG gauges and PanelStudio quite a while back.

 

Thanks,

Dirk.

...  Janek,    just wondering if you have the new Carenado Hawker 850xp...  or are planning to get it.

 

Would be Fantastic if you could work your magic with it's Proline 21 package, clickspots, popups etc....

 

... either way,  thanks again for all your work on the C550....   really like that plane now .

 

Cheers

Hi aero

 

I have been following the Hawker forum and wait for positive reviews, maybe after the SP1. But at the moment, I decided against it.

 

@Dirk

Sorry for the delay, please check your mailbox.

 

 

Cheers Janek

maybe after the SP1.

Makes sense, in my eyes.

 

Once it hopefully runs less buggy, your avionics update will surely be appreciated. :smile:

How does one get the mod- I'm interested in what you guys have done!

After you purchase the ISG program PM Janek and he'll email the mods to you.
