Chris Evans Airbus two engine aircraft and FOUR throttles

Postby CarlV » Thu Mar 02, 2017 11:00 am

I have downloaded a large number of aircraft simulations from Chris Evans and they are almost always excellent. BUT I am continually frustrated at seeing Airbus two engine aircraft (318, 3319, 320, 321, 330, and more) presenting a cockpit with four throttles and four sets of engine instruments. How can such a basic mistake keep happening? Any web search for images of these aircraft instrument panels will show two throttles and two sets of associated instruments.
All of his Boeing simulations: perfect.

Hi
Just a quick reply as I am travelling. Apologies. I was incorporating the built in FMC which I only found in the A340 cockpit. I will work on an update

Thanks Chris. I have enjoyed your simulations and look forward to more. Background: Link Trainer Instructor/Technician in USAF on Link C-11 and Curtiss Wright Dehmel P3A. Crude hardware simulation of Lockheed T33 on the first one, general prop trainer on the second. Basic nav via VOR/TACAN/ILS "missions". Started serious playing with FSX a couple of years ago and love to see new innovative panels. had my fill of "steam gauges" in the AF. Bucket list item would be to perform an actual ILS approach in real aircraft.

Actually I am working on the 2 engine version VC now and have included it with the latest A320 Hong Kong Express
http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1 ... ip&x=4&y=9

If you include this in another aircraft you need to also include the Thomas Ruth internal model from that aircraft and also copy and paste the [views] in the aircraft.cfg and include the VC textures from the textures folder.

I will be working further on this VC (as time allows) and hope to include more controls.

Hi Chris,
A number of FSX Boeing 777 panels use the 'Boeing777-300.gau' file from FS9. I can't make the gauges display in FSX. There must be a way and I wonder if you have the knack. Any help would be appreciated!

If you want to make custom made panels for any aircraft than this is what you need FSPANELSTUDIO It is payware but this is what the professionals use to make there panels with
Mind you it will not make Virtual Cockpits
But this is a simple to use program one does not need to have a degree or any experience making panels at all
What makes this program great is you see the actual panel you will see in Flight simulator and it works with any version of Flight Simulator
This program allows you edit existing aircraft panels as well, You can even add window views or move the gauges around any way you like
here is the link http://fspanelstudio.com/
There is a try before you buy option
But trust me I have no experience making panels and I have modified existing panels with no problems at all and even made my own panel from scratch without any headaches at all.
