andor Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Cessna 310." 06-19-04, 02:34z  G,day guys, I have a slight problem with the C310, which I have just re-installed from the Flight Adventures Crew Disc #2. On selecting the aircraft and click OK I get the following Error FS9.. Detect potentially incompatable aircraft or software. File GUAGES\cdgps.Gua. Do you want to load this software , click No to disable etc etc. The referred to file is listed in the FS9/Guages/Folder. Anyone else come across this problem and am grateful for any advice. Regards, Andor. Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

RobertVA Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: Cessna 310." 06-19-04, 03:43z  I edited the PANEL.CFG for that aircraft with NOTEPAD. I substituted the FS9 GPS gauge. Here is the section for the GPS panel (Window02). size_mm=322,275 position=8 BACKGROUND_COLOR=16,16,16 VISIBLE=0 ident=GPS_PANEL gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0, 0, 322,275 I experemented with a few other things as well, but never got the manifold pressure gage to look right in the virtual cockpit.(VCockpit01) size_mm=1024,512 pixel_size=1024,512 texture=$310pan background_color=0,0,0 visible=0 gauge00=aeroasi,74,57,90,105 gauge01=aeroasi,656,57,90,105 gauge02=Cessna!Attitude,164,55,90,105 gauge03=Cessna182rg!Attitude,750,55,92,105 gauge04=Cessna182rg!Altimeter,254,55,90,105 gauge05=Cessna182rg!Altimeter,843,55,94,105 gauge06=dualmap,350,45 gauge07=Cessna182rg!Turn_Indicator,74,165,90,105 gauge08=Cessna182rg!Turn_Indicator,656,165,90,105 gauge09=Cessna182rg!Heading_Indicator,164,165,92,105 gauge10=Cessna182rg!Heading_Indicator,750,165,90,105 gauge11=Cessna182rg!Vertical_Speed,254,163,90,105 gauge12=Cessna182rg!Vertical_Speed,843,163,94,105 gauge13=dualrpm,343,162,90,105 gauge14=radalt2,278,32,40,22 gauge15=radalt2,681,32,40,22 gauge16=l14cont,475,273,136,117 gauge17=Cessna182rg!Landing_Gear,611,273,20,52 gauge18=Cessna182rg!Gear Light,631,273,20,26 gauge19=Cessna!Flaps,611,325,40,65 gauge20=fs9gps!gps_500,435, 45, 218,225 gauge21=rstart1, 7, 322, 30, 65 gauge22=rstart2, 42, 322, 30, 65 gauge23=dualmap, 339, 49, 87 gauge24=pnlsw, 124, 334, 26 gauge25=nvlsw, 160, 334, 26 gauge26=stbsw, 193, 334, 26 gauge27=lndsw, 226, 334, 26 gauge28=sqgas, 81, 281, 79 gauge29=atron, 296, 331, 31, 55 gauge30=nd, 23, 142, 27,28 gauge31=Beech_Baron!Clock, 13, 100, 50, 32 gauge32=Cessna!Avionics Switch, 85, 334, 30, 60 Robert Near KORF Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

andor Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Cessna 310." 06-19-04, 23:47z  G,day Robert, Many thanks for your info. I altered the C310 Panel cfg Window 02 to your specifications and got the GPS panel up and running. However the "Error FS9" message still appears on loading the aircraft with the same GAUGES\cdgps.GAU incompatible wording. I also lost the VOR1&2, ADF gauges (they used to appear under the GPS icon). In the Window02 I only altered the gauge00 line, leaving the gauge01 & gauge02 as they were ?? At the moment I have reverted back to the "default" settings preferring to have the VOR & ADF gauges as I have the FSNav display to keep me out of trouble Again thanks Robert, I,ll keep trying with it as see what happens. Regards, Andy. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

RobertVA Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: Cessna 310." 06-20-04, 05:34z  LAST EDITED ON 06-22-04 AT 18:35z () by Ben_Chiu (admin) You could change the gps gauge name in the window00 section (cdgps!gps to fs9gps!gps_500) or, as I did, delete that line and decrease the gauge numbers for the remaining gauges in that section (gauge29 to gauge28 etc). The new window02 section (provided previously) establishes a new 2D panel that pops up with the standard Shift-3) In my experiments I moved the radio navigation gages to a new panel / window05 with the following entries size_mm=100,300 position=8 BACKGROUND_COLOR=16,16,16 VISIBLE=0 ident=NAV_PANEL gauge00=Cessna182rg!VOR1, 0, 0, 100 gauge01=Cessna182s!VOR2, 0, 100, 100 gauge02=Cessna182rg!ADF, 0, 200, 100 This pops up with Shift-6. I added: window05=Radio NAV Displays to the Window Titles section I didn't see room for the radio navigation indicators in the virtual cockpit, but the popup panels work threre as well. The new virtual cockpit entries make many of the gauges, including the GPS, work in the virtual cockpit. The text isn't really ledgible on the virtual cockpit view of the GPS, but it's enough to line the plane up on ILS feathers or the flight path if a plan is loaded. I had trouble with the clock didplay not being ledgible in the virtual cockpit and had trouble with a duplicate image with the manifold pressure gauge. At some point I may experiment with different clock and manufold pressure gauges, but I might need to change portions of the panel bitmap. To my understanding adding additional panel surfaces like throttle quadrants or an center console for the GPS would require access to the plane's 3D model source files, which I don't have. If I get things like the mainfold pressure gauge working I'll ask Ben if he wants to make the changes available as a download. Robert Near KORF Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

andor Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: Cessna 310." 06-22-04, 01:28z  G,day Robert, Many thanks for your info. I have it all copied and will work through your suggestions. Again a very steep learning curve for me Thanks again, Andy Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I'm asking Chuck if we can include the update with our VPC Plane release as well. Stand by... Ben Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 6. "RE: Cessna 310." 06-25-04, 04:57z  Chuck has given his approval, so we can incorporate the updates at our leisure. Thanks, Robert! Thanks, Chuck!
