I like the Dornier do-27, so I downloaded the Do-27 50 Year Salute Package & the Do-27 Photoreal Panel:

When I open FS9 & elect the Do-27 for a test flight, there is this problem:

To eliminate that error, I have to click the OK square like 20 or more times in a stacato fashion (machine gun style). After electing the Do-27 & eliminated error, I go Fly Now & again, the error pops up on top & have to machine gun it again & again, so the error pop-up disapears:

Once this Calvarium is over & start my flight, the Panel View is with instruments holes empty: if I install the Do-27 Photoreal Panel, the instrument panel holes dissapear! BUT with no instruments whatsoever. The Virtual panel has the instruments holes only (no dials at all!):


It is the only plane that does that in my FS9. I tried eliminating the GAU files, but still the same error.

Please HELP! I like Michael Grzimek's Do-27 with Zebra stripes, filming the "Serengueti Shall Not Die" documentary (1959 academy award, postumostly)

I'll take a look at it -

Update: Yup -- the gauges are incompatible at least with FSX.

I will try to get it updated and meanwhile I have delisted the file. (it too 5 years and 7800 downloads before anyone took the time to mention it! Thanks! You are the one in 7800 ..... )

Meanwhile stay tuned .... but I can't say it will work in FS2004 as I don't have 2004 .....

The DO-27 works fine in FS 2004.
Simply forget about the panel that comes with the A/C. Insert the Do 27-PEw panel instead. Inside the file you find three pnl.cfg's. Take care now. For use in FS 2004 delete the FSX pnl and the upper pnl file and rename the FS 2004 pnl to .pnl only. Now copy the entire contents into the A/C panel folder. Overwrite where necessary. Do not forget to act exactly as mentioned in the Read me file regarding the texture file and the camera definitions.
The aircraft should appear now with a complete instrument panel.
Good luck!

One more important thing.
Copy all gauges from the panel into the fs9 gauges file.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that in my earlier reply.

OK I will relist it -- but take out the 'FSX compatible' bit ...

Thanks for the info .

Good luck I posses, no problem there. My ignorance is the problem: where do I find the Do 27.PEw panel? Because the panel I downloaded is named "Do27pnl" (NOT PEw) with two files inside: #ONE with GAU files &#2 with:

so that must be NOT the PEw

What! No other fellow "Ground hog's" suscribed here yet?

I have been using an other DO 27panel for years. It is in FSX panels called (as far as I remember) ''FSX/FS2004 panel for DO 27''. That is the one I use and that I mentioned in my earlier post.
It is a 0.78 MB file. You should easily find it in SimV. It is adark grey panel and not whitish as showing in your post.

SUCCESS!

Can be seen from the outside too!

Thank You, ObiOne & ObiToo! (& NO, no more nagging errors pop-ups!)

Now this is looking good Jean. I want to try that ac.

Really good shots you provided there

HELLO!! Now I have installed FSX (my PC limits only allow for LOW config for smooth flight) perhaps a good marriage counselor solved compatibility issues with gauges, in the meanwhyle??




HURRY! my guardians are hungry ... (YES, I included the PANEL cfg for FSX & texture)
