On the radio panel of this Mooney there is ADF on top. I cant seem to find out where you type in the number (396 etc)

..just had a peek...

On the default Mooney Bravo, Bendix-King Radio Stack, there is no provision for an ADF module, neither is there an ADF gauge instrument on the panel....(unfortunately).
It only contains NAV/COM Radio Stacks, and Panel NAV Gauges.

Paul..G-BPLF..FS 2004..FS Nav... 8-)...!

The Mooney IFR panel does have ADF added (it is missing on the reagular panel.cfg).

You could try using the IFR panel and/or adding the approriate data to the regular panel.cfg file.

....I can see why I never got around to using the IFR Panel on the Mooney, David... ...

...you cant see where you are going!... ... ...!

The ADF Module could be added to the "VFR" Bendix King Stack Panel quite easily..but a blank space needs to be found on the Panel for the ADF Instrument Gauge.. ...!

You could put it in a pop-up window.

Buggar!...

Now you tell me, after I've just drilled a hole in the Instrument panel... ...!

(Excellent idea, for that rather cramped Panel, Doug!)

You are so right about the IFR panel -

I just edited my regular panel.cfg for the Mooney and added the ADF.

1. Make a backup of the panel.cfg first of course.

2. Using Notepad, open the panel.cfg and make the following edits to [Window01]:

[Window01]
BACKGROUND_COLOR=2,2,2
size_mm=156,308
position=8
visible=0
ident=RADIO_STACK_PANEL

gauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Audio, 0, 0
gauge01=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 0, 29
gauge02=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 2, 0, 86
gauge03=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio ADF, 0, 142
gauge04=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio DME, 0, 180
gauge05=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Xpndr, 0, 217
gauge06=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio AP, 0, 262

Save your work and you will now have the ADF as well the regular radio items.

Works for me!

..that's it, David!

Sometimes, after adding modules, etc, to the Radio Stack and Panel, I find I also need to modify the [aircraft.cfg] File as follows:

[Radios]
// Radio Type = available, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1

The redundant 2 inch hole I drilled in the instrument panel for the ADF Gauge is now available for sale....

Price: Big bag of Chocolate Cookies.

BTW -

I have sent a PM to the OP suggesting that he should not have his e-mail address as his user name.

That just invites spammers to use it.

Fozz... If you have the F16.GAU and FSUIPC Reg Key for it, you could try to squeeze it into your 2" hole in the dash board... that is if you have the room.   That way you can see where the AI (or multiplayer - yes it works in FSHOST connected multiplayer) is so that you can find your friends or other AI.

just a thought.

just thought I would offer the suggestion to fill the empty space.  I also have a round, "Crosswind" gauge that will tell you just how much crab you need to stick your landing.

First, I'd like to thank everyone for all your responses.
I've been on computers since they were invented but was never good at the inner workings of them so I will just do without the ADF because I will probably screw something up.  I really appreciate all your replies though. This site is one of the best on the web!
