My New 737NG Panel!

[Nexus]

landing lights are located on the overhead panel, very close to the left front window.

And I guess the sound would be the trim wheel sound, and in the real cockpit it's rather loud and annoying...

I was at work I just looked at the screenshots and such were is the radio, overhead stack guages. I see the normal map, throttle, and gps but didnt see them I'll look better and read the manual when I get home. Looks really good from what I can see here how is it on Moachs 737? but I like his panel too Ok i'm torn.lol

HI
The landing lights are located in the main panel in the top middle of the panel. The wiring sound is probably the apu. You can turn this off by pressing the large red apu buttons on the overheard. It is a good idea to leave it on untill you pass through 2000ft.

Thanks!

HI
. It is a good idea to leave it on untill you pass through 2000ft.

Or as they do in the real world, leave them on until passing 10.000ft or 18.000ft [US]
And why would the APU sound only be noticeable during turns, climbs and descents  ???
In the real aircraft you barely hear the APU when it's running.

Yer you are probably right nexus. It probably is the trim. If no one like the sound I can try to remove it from the next version.

Nah it's ok.  I think sounds make the plan more interesting, mostly on long flights you end up not sitting at the computer anyways as it's just looking at the GPS, watching the numbers scroll down, if you're lucky enough to have interactive addons you can serve passengers and chat live with ATC, but otherwise you just hear the engines and it's boring.  Keep it in, but maybe put a note in the Readme to say the whirring sound is an operational part of the aircraft and not a fault/failure alert.

Cheers.

If you open up the panel.cfg file and edit this line in [window00]:

gauge45=TU_fpda_trim_sound,  188,547,10,9

just put a semicolon in front of if like this:

;gauge45=TU_fpda_trim_sound,  188,547,10,9

and the trim sound will go away.

Great panel, Giles - it's my default 737NG panel now. I've added a few more gauges (my own auto-land and auto-wing vortex gauges, Lee Hetherington's excellent TCAS and a real-time map view that gives frequencies etc.) among others) but it works really well.

Could you please tell us some more info on thoes gauges as they seem like must haves for our next version (where you download them from ect.) V1.2 will have a built in auto land switch as well. I am currently working on V1.OS for POSKY for their new 737-800NG. V1.0s is basicly a V1.1 with enhanced bitmaps and a few different gauges (and a smaller file size). Once I have finished with V1.OS I will upload V1.1.

Lee Hetherington's TCAS gauge can be got at Avsim; Talal Alhaj's Map View gauge is here on SimV (gauges p8).  IM me for details of the others.

This is what the panel lools like with the TCAS toggled to appear over the EICAS (green switch bottom right of the display). The autoland activation switch is in the autopilot CMD-B position.
