Thanks, i have forwarded the panel. Cfg already to somebody.. Also i might have another idea that i will try when i get the time to do so.. Halfway there i think.. I am getting into this Kind of stuff soon i think ;-)

So far no success.. I can See the sideviews but they are not switching back and forward when u want to look around.. Something still missing i suppose.. But as we know, its not all done in a Day.. Especially not for beginners. Anybody having any experience in this field? My understanding is.. When i can show a panel in Front of me, it must be possible to See it in the side also? I mean, manned space flight is also possible lol..

I agree that it wont be a Quick Job.. Im aware that it will take a while to get things up and running.. I personally would be happy enough to have the old sideviews back also. Btw, u send me a link regarding the sdk.. Havent used it yet, but apparantly it does not work with the basic Version of fsx, which i have.. Dont See the point really in buying the Gold or whatever Edition just for the sdk.. And the additional adventures and airplanes im not really interested either to be honest.. Any way of just getting the sdk? I have not done much that goes beyond a bit of editing and painting, but im happy to help within my abbilities.. Its a great airplane, and by doing that, i might find some stuff that i could improve the constellation with.. Same Situation as with the Vc 10.. Such a great airliner, but the payware u get is not worth the money. So i fly the best Freeware i could find.. And im happy, though i Would like to Upgrade it a bit too So anyway, lets See what we can do regarding these sideviews.. I have time again today after work, then i will be more busy and wont be able to try a lot of things.. Cheers Mac I

Thanks Peter, im not really good in programming and stuff.. as a matter of fact, i am a very analog man that loves aviation, especially classic piston airliners, but also jets, say until the 70s... everything that has proper gauges in the flight deck, not displays basically:-) If i had the knowledge, i d attempt to give the VC10 a virtual Cockpit, rather then trying to get these oldschool 2d panels to work in fsx. i sadly dont have fs9 anymore, but only for the sake of the vc 10 i dont think i will get it again...everything else works fine on fsx, or say, everything that is of interest has a VC :-) there is the odd problem, yes, but in general it works all very well. If people can help and want to team up, in order to get the vc 10 to perfection, i will appreciate any support. So far i have not managed to show the fixed sideviews, but i keep working on it. Learning by doing (and crashing) basically. Oh yes, of course to get the VC 10 to perfection in FSX... The old Fs9 Elite is a different story...up the classic SO, to get the sidevews back, i have added these windows.. Window29=FORWARD_LEFT Window30=FORWARD_RIGHT Window31=LEFT Window32=RIGHT Window33=REAR_LEFT Basically tried to overwrite the old fokker 2d panels with the VC10s.. and also the gauges... [Window29] file=Forward_Leftd.bmp size_mm=1280 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=10001 window_size= 1.000 nomenu=1 gauge00=F70100_XML_IF2!PVO_FIXED_VIEWS, 657, 912, 142, 22 [Window30] file=Forward_Rightd.bmp size_mm=1280 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=10002 window_size= 1.000 nomenu=1 gauge00=F70100_XML_IF2!PVO_FIXED_VIEWS, 657, 912, 142, 22 [Window31] file=leftd.bmp size_mm=1280 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=10003 window_size= 1.000 nomenu=1 gauge00=F70100_XML_IF2!PVO_FIXED_VIEWS, 657, 912, 142, 22 [Window32] file=Rightd.bmp size_mm=1280 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=10004 window_size= 1.000 nomenu=1 gauge00=F70100_XML_IF2!PVO_FIXED_VIEWS, 657, 912, 142, 22 [Window33] file=Rear_Leftd.bmp size_mm=1280 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=10005 window_size= 1.000 nomenu=1 gauge00=F70100_XML_IF2!PVO_FIXED_VIEWS, 247, 912, 142, 22 ​So, if i am right, replacing the 2d Picture from the fokker, with the 2d from the VC10, should show up the VC10 2d Panel instead.. ​or am i wrong there already?? ​any help appreciated.. ​Cheers Mac

Thanks a lot for that. I will attempt to get this sideviews working ,if possible, and then take it from there. If i am not mistaken, the vc10 has 8 fixed windows..i need to double check that, and this one seem to have 6.. but 6 is way better then none lol.. Ok Lets see..never done things like that before, but im curious and also look forward to learn something new... getting fs9 again would be the easier option i guess Anyway, i will play around with that gauge thing and see if i can come up with something usebale..

Well if it had worked for me i would have done it too .-) but it caused fsx to crash. with the new settings it works perfect and has the right size. Here is what works for me: [Window00] file=main_NEW.bmp size_mm=1300 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=7 visible=1 ident=0 window_size= 1.000, 1.000 window_pos= 0.000, 0.000 FS9 was just a more stable platform in my personal experience. And i miss the fixed sideviews from the vc10, another item that fsx does not support anymore. Looks a bit "naked" when u look around just. Maybe possible to get some basic vc from somehwere else..? Vololiberista, i might have a few more questions for you.. but first i will study the manual again to make sure i havent missed out something essential there :-) which could happen sometimes cheers Mac

Thanks, i am aware of that.. All I did was using different measurements and replaced them under the "window 0" section.. I will just Paste that in here later, it will mean more to you then it does to me.. Anyway, im happy to have it all in the right screen size for now.. I keep u updated and maybe other Users might Profit from this later. Cheers Mac

One could guess by my bad spelling that it was late ;-) Anyway, the basics are working now which is the main thing..

Thanks for your Help My man, i really appappreciate it. However, nothing has worked. Then, more in an act of desperation, i have copied the complete settings from an older panel and the size was right, but the Instruments itself were Out of align with the panel.. After a bit more of trying, i got It.. It Works. The cocomplete panel stretches now to fight my screen.. Awesome Feels totally different now as all is almost Double the size :-) Thanks for your Support. Mac

I just did a test ride with the original DM panel.. Went ok, i can stretch that panel without any crashes, also the old panel comes up imidately when selected, if i have your panel i have black screen for approx 10 seconds before the panel Shows.. Lots of strange things.. I reduced the old dm panel on the right and left a good bit ( as if there would be your additional pieces on it, and the Instruments still looked ok to me, so i think it will look fine if just brought into the right proportion.. Anyway, i play around again when i have time.. Thanks Mac

Ok.. So that Position change to =0 did nothing.. What i did next was the following : i took the original DM ppanel, installed it as panel.old And loaded the plane.. Fits the screen perfect and looks really hughe now :-) The gearlever is now right at the edge of my screen to the right and to the left i can just See the "M" from that registration placard.. That must be then because your panel is wider i assume... To the left of that black placard u have nose wheel steering pillar etc,usually the panel ends before that. If there is now a solution or not... Im not sure.. Kind of nice to See 4 firehandles i admit.. Maybe u could trijet panels from now on? For widescreen Users? Lol just kidding.. I guess i play around a bit and See if i can find something that Works Out.. Or go back to the sixties with the original panel.. But i Would miss all the upgrades too much i reckon.. No money for a different screen either at the Moment so that idea is Out of question.. Maybe a virtual Cockpit.. Dream I See if i can figure something Out.. Really love your work though .. Keep it up my man, great Job, i love this plane ( and my connie that i also fly.. In VC only ;-) Cheers Mac

Thanks for any advice.. I think i have not explained well enough.. I can click on the 2d Instrument panel and can drag it down fine, to Cover the Black area on the bottom.. To the left and right the Instrument panel fits the screen.. Must have something to do with the proportion maybe.. Crash only happens if i try to stretch the Instrument panel upwards, even a sight touch cause fsx to Crash.. Any other 2panel, e.g.overhead or oxygen, can stretch to change its size on the screen, no Problem, only Main Instrument panel will Crash.. I have win10 64 running, no Problems like that with any other plane.. I might have to do some Screenshots or so to give a proper idea of what is happening.. Thanks Mac PS i was running in full Mode, might try in window Mode and See what happens.. Cheers Mac

Thanks for coming back to me.... Dont worry about aircon, i can borrow one of the Rubber Ventilators from the tupolev 154 B-) Regarding the screen i could not solve the issue,no matter what screen solutions i choose.. And stretching it down cause fsx to Crash.. So i can also pull the 2d panel down and fill the gap on top with overhead panels :-) Cheers Mac

Thanks a lot for the Tip regarding the screen.. I will See if im able to fix that.. The other error i mentioned is : Andreas jaros -fpda switch gau was designed for fs98 or earlier, and is not supported anymore.. Ive looked into Post 130 as u suggested but that was not it.. Maybe fsx only Problem.. Thanks Mac

Ciao vololiberista, I have been a vc10 Fan for years and, after using the DM vc10 for a long time i came across your update. Wow.. You are a magician.. So impressive.. What can i say. This is really a great Job on what seems to be a bit neglected in the fs World.. I have installed your update as per instruction, and have not done much yet.. However i have noticed that the panel is smaller then my screen, at the bottom is a big black area, usually all 2d panels are fitting the screen.. If i try to drag and extend the window, fsx will Crash.. Also it says that fsda switch ( is it called fsda?) is not supported anymore since it is fs98 or ssomething like that.. I dont have fs9 anymore.. Unfortunately Is there any way i can bring the Cockpit in Proportion to my wide screen Monitor.. The original panel fits perfect, although it seems it Shows only 3 firehandles, and your panel already Shows Part of the F/o Instrumentation... Just to know if i have done some Bullocks during the Installation or if that all is sort of a portover thing with fsx.. Apoligies, im not very good with computer stuff i have to admit Any help / Tips more then welcome.. This is a jewel, just looks Micro at the Moment on my screen ;-) Cheers Mac
