I would like to ask a special favor....

Update:

Getting there, slow but sure.

Jim, I just tried that panel.cfg..  looks good, considering what we're working with. There are little things that I'll focus on later...

I've found while working on the 707, that old stuff (FS9 models and/or gauges) can sometimes bring mysterious effects. A problem I think we're gonna run into, is mixing float and scrape points with FS9 models and FSX effects.

Back to work.. lol

Hi Brett

Thanks for the road test, and I know what you mean about the mysterious effects, I

Uh oh..

I've gotten it to takeoff or taxi, regardless of wind direction...  now I'm fine-tuning power/weight, flap affect, cruise/top speed, etc..

Hi Brett

For my own use I have already got a functional overhead panel that includes operational engine select switches, magneto switches, engine start switches, ac and ground power, fuel booster pumps, alternate fuel booster pumps, electrical disconnect switch, electrical power select switch, avionics switch, and even prop feather switches etc.

The gauges are from the gauge cab files that I included with my initial upload, but I have modified certain gauges, pumps, magneto, engine select switches and so on, to cater for only two engines and not the four engines that the gauge files had been intended for.

I have not yet fully tested them (in fact I

Thanks,

Oppsss

I am a bit confused...

I have a popup panel named NO_PANEL is that the overhead you were speaking of Jim? The overhead in the VC is blurry because of the tiny map so I assume that pop-up panel is what you are referring too

I noticed the AP does not work with the mouse in the VC


I am going to look into a few custom FX and lighting for her exterior once you guys have everything located.

Strange because I enabled the ENGINE START effect and even though the engines appear to be located correctly the smoke puff start-up appears too far back, like 25ft too far here. Not sure what

Hi Nick

The NO_Panel is the Navigators panel (I may change the ident to NAV_PANEL), but the panel identified as OVERHEAD is the one with the problem close icon, the OVERHEAD2 panel does not seem to suffer from this problem, but I
