Have you noticed that Mr. Pratt and Mr. Whitney have supplied me with an 8 cylinder radial engine, rather than the standard 9 cylinder engine which I specifically ordered... ...!

I prefers Bristols personally. Can always trust a good Mercury, or a Hercules. Nice aeroplane the Beaver...

OK. I give in gracefully. You beat me Foz. There's 100s of Beavers at Avsim. DHC2.zip doesn't exist in their file library. I have no idea which panel to look for.

Hi Doug...
Avsim don't make it easy to post addresses in their library... ...!
So...
Amongst the 1,000's of Beavers....

Check the date. This file is almost exactly 1 year old. The way you were carrying on I thought it was something new?

PS. I still can't find the aircraft package despite pasting the exact file name & samples of your text in their search gizmo. Shows just how effective that is - I don't think.

This demonstrates why I prefer SimV.

Search for "DH Beaver"
Page 5 includes the planes and the special panel...

LOL I only said that as by coincidence it was posted on the 5th November 2002, one year ago yesterday to be precise. You can't get much more "almost exact" than that.

I would willingly check that panel out for you if I could find the bleedin' aircraft to go with it. I'm fed up to the back teeth with searching for it.

i've had that nice beaver plus the awesome panel installed a while ago,but i deleted it from my hangar ,because i didn't need it anymore.
the beaver's not my sort of aircraft...too slow.
i prefer the lockheed XP-38 instead...an awesome plane!

Nah. I'll admit defeat & retire hurt. Like I said, I've tried everything I know to find that file without success. I'm not exactly a newbie at finding stuff.

[Hagar]

Mornin' Foz. This your old mate Hagar all bright-eyed & bushy tailed after a much-deserved night's rest.

I finally have the all files & here's what I discovered. It's a fine panel & as you mentioned a tad fiddly to install.

There are 2 basic types of panel used in FS.
1. The conventional 2D panel with just the 2D forward view. These are ideal for aircraft with a DVC as all interior views except directly forward are part of the visual model, not the panel.
2. The old FS2000-style "all-round" panel with extra view windows. These are intended for & work best in aircraft without a DVC.

The problem here is that you're using a Type 2 panel in an aircraft with a DVC. Most FS2000 aircraft, including your favourite Beavers, don't have this feature. The white area is a conflict between the DVC on this particular Beaver & the extra panel views. There's nothing wrong with the panel so no amount of BMP tweaking will fix it. Slap it into another aircraft without a DVC & it should work fine..

[Rifleman]

Somehow, I knew that I would see Hagar decipher this prob and have a good workable explanation, but in shorter terms, I think I have it now......
It seems that for all his playing with this Beaver, poor old Foz is just not going to wind up totally satisfied  ???
A very sad state, indeed !

[Hagar]

LOL Rifleman. That old rascal always delights in leading me a merry dance. One day I might learn my lesson. Oops - Hi Foz.

If my old marble had been working properly I would have figured this out much sooner. The grey area in the quarter views is caused by the missing DVC entry in Panel.cfg. For a quick fix, copy/paste the complete [Vcockpit01] entry (including all the gauges) from the original Beaver Panel.cfg into the new one. The static views will still conflict with the DVC which will give you duplicated side & quarter views. This will most likely make you go cross-eyed.  :o
