ok - there are 2 bits of bad news here... lol.

The first is I run FS2002  at a resolution of 1152 x 864 and it looks like there are going to be some positional problems as a result.

The second is I also modified the main bitmap which you're going to need too.

I'll take a look at the panel in 1024x768 and repostion stuff when I get up (if that's the resolution you're using?)

I run usually FS2002 at 800 * 600 but The only problem so far with the panel is that there's a few gauges missing and the overhead panel needs a bitmap i guess because it's messed up. I've even tested the panel while running FS2002 at 1024 * 768 and everything is positioned the same.

I received a reply from G.Coca and he's given me permission to upload the panel :).

The one on display is for FS2002 Pro only, but after I've finished the Duke B60 conversion for FS2002 standard, I'll do the same for this one.

Not surprised G.Coca said yes . . . I'd be proud to have someone do such a great job with one of my panels.  But then again you DO have to look at it for hours on your RTW.  

Can't wait to D/L it from here

Final update

Postby FSTipster » Thu Feb 20, 2003 11:38 am

I just found a couple of replacements for the radio stack which match them all up.

The audio panel, whilst not quite as complex, has the virtue that it's clearly visible. Even on a decent 17" monitor, the buttons on the previous version needed magnifying glasses.

The autopilot doesn't include autothrottle (or the Mach hold setting!) which makes it more realistic in my view.

I'll be uploading this to Simviation.com ONLY later tonight. Hope you like it. :)

LIKE it, he says . . . .

I think there will be a lot of people breaking out their barons tonight.  I may even have to give my cirrus a rest

The file has just been uploaded.

Although I've never uploaded to this site before, if it's typical of other flightsim sites, it should be up in a day or two.

Baron58ProPanel.zip

I'll be producing a Standard version a.s.a.p. and then I'll look into bringing the V.C. into line.

I've not done much with Virtual cockpits, but I think I may have recently discovered how to replace the whole thing with a lookalike of my 2d Panel, but don't hold your breath. It looks like a hefty job in the bitmap department.
