I am sorry to hear of David's passing...We have done a couple of sceneries together.. I shall miss sending him a birthday card as we shared the same birthday.. March 12th.. Ray Lunning

I have had the B737-200 ADV (version 1.26)installed for some time and all is working great..I like the Sperry 77 version and I use it... I know that updates 1.30 thru 1.32 add the Sperry 177 autopilot to the B737-200... My question is: Does the updates make any changes to the B737-200 ADV with a Sperry 77 AP ?? I can see that the *.gau file has changed..(bigger) I have the "other" B737-200 with its SP 177 AP..It too is a great panel...smaller gauges but anexcellent panel.ThanksRay Lunning

This is not a bug..however I have a question..?? Is it possible to have both AP versions (the 77 and the 177) active in your aircraft folder...FS9.. It would be nice to "select" your aircraft version without modifing the panel.cfg file.. Possibly renaming the panel folder..??Ray Lunning

I'll try this by memory...If you pull the power back you will reduce the "thrust" and you will begin to lose airspeed due to "drag". You will need to increase the "pitch" to maintain the same altitude..Increasing the "pitch" further increases the "drag".. If you partialy deploy the "spoilers" you will decrease the "lift" on the wing and begin to lose altitude.. For spoilers to fully function as speed brakes they need to be fully deployed as when used on landing.. I had spoilers on my Cessna T210...When I would deploy them at altitude I would get about 1200 fpm descent rate and lose about two knots... They did not function as "Speed Brakes" I have about 4 hours in a 737-200 simulator...I remember getting my air speed too high..below 10K and throttled back and deployed the speed brakes...They functioned OK and my instructor didn't challange what I did... Flying is always a balance of Thrust, Drag, Lift and Gravity...You need to plan ahead to be at the right altitude and speed...Ray Lunning

The NEW 177 panel is great..Thanks..I'll still fly the 77 version once and a while.. One issue..The TCAS gauge on the Radio panel does not seem to work...??Ray Lunning

I am using a PFC unit for throttle quads... The FLAP lever is not working...I think I had it working at one time but now it's not and I forgot the "fix" I went thru the readme, my F6/F7 seem to work OK...but I would like to use the FlapLever.. I have a PFC module but don't see anything there to set flaps. Do I need to use the standard FSUIPC module... A quick set of instructions might help....I forget a lot these days..Ray Lunning

The panel as I see it on this forum site looks as though the panel is displayed on a Wideview monitior...??I have modified and/or reworked maybe 80 panels for my own use..I have never uploaded one... I use a 20.1in. Samsung standard monitor... everything in your panel appears to be readible... An excellent panel...One of the best I have seen.. I rework most of the panels I download because I use Precision Flight Controls hardware... I have a Bendix-King Radio Stack and Throttle quadrants...So I usually remove all radio freqs.. My hardware autopilot will trigger all the buttons on the AP panel.. With the Sperry 77 autopilot... some functions on my PFC AP will not work in the 737-200adv in its current configuration...Not a problem with me.. I am just passing on information... I have two Go-Flight Switch Panels which I use for Lights, eng, starts etc.. most of them work in the 200adv but not all... Thanks for your workRay Lunning I forgot to note...The Baro. and Alt Alert. appears to be out of place and too large......Not sure what the gauge is on the real panel... Just an opinion...Ray..

I am looking forward to your release.. I note that the current TinMouse ver1.26 has a Sperry 77 autopilot (I think this is the correct model) This is the version I flew back in Oct. in Las Vegas.. I note that your panel has a "newer" version of the Autopilot..(not sure of the model..) I am hoping that the Ver 1.26 will remain as is and that your "newer" panel will be a NEW panel option... In your photos you panel is much wider... How will this fit in a standard monitor...?? Not a wide screen monitor....Ray Lunning

When, or will this panel be availible... Payware is OK with me...Ray LunningSurprise, AZ

OK! I see the hyd. switches...Also the Autobrake is working.. Issue is the Airspeed gauge.. The numbers in the middle will not go below 045.... Not sure why...is there a switch some where for this..??Ray

I arm the Auto Brake switch..However I have no way to determine if it is working.. As I slow down I hit the manual brakes and the inop lights up.. The switch does not automaticly return to off...not sure it should...Also are there Hydrolic Pump switches..?? If so where are they...ThanksRay Lunning

Just for the record.. I removed the TakeOff calls and the Altitude calls (the Wav files) They all are OK and work fine... I will be flying my TinMouse using FDC (Flight Deck Companion by Dave March)..It will provide the takeoff calls and many others...Its a very good interactive program... If I didn't remove the files I would have duplicate calls...The TinMouse continues to get better as I learn more about how to fly it... I have some problem keeping the speed under 250k during descents...Ray Lunning

Bob: I use FDC with my B737-200... FDC has its own voice files..."Airspeed active", "80K', "100K" etc..then Vee One, Rotate etc... I removed the 80K, Vee one and Rotate wav files... However I can't find a Vee two wav file... How can I remone the vee two call...or where is the file...??----------------------- EVERYTHING with the B737-200 is working...even my spoilers...Works just great..Ray Lunning

Bob: Version 1.25 is installed... Made several flights..."EVERYTHING" works.. You just have to learn how to fly it... No AutoPilot Problems.... When I arm the spoilers with my PFC lever the spoilers partially deploy...I suspect I need to calibrate the lever in PFC ?? I added a "digital" trim gauge to the panel...its very helpful when the plane is trimming itself...Cheers....Ray Lunning

Bob: In one of the "Readmes" it says "set lever to control PROP PITCH 2"...I know it says this because I am looking at the 'Print Out'.. under Ver 1.2... I changed it to PROP PITCH 1 and it works OK now.. I don't have any issues with the TinMouse now...All systems are working perfectly...Ray Lunning
