    If a gauge coordinate is written 0, 0, 1, 1, how will that appear visually in the cockpit? Is that actually an invisible gauge?

  2. Hello, I hope you don’t mind me asking about this issue here on this forum, my reason for doing so is that I have raised it on the Captainsim forum but I have not had any response. I have the full suite of 727 Captain variants (Base Pack and the 3 expansion packs that complement it), all with the latest version of the 727 Captain released which is 2.7. All are installed within FSX Accelerator. My problem, is only with all of the 200 variants (both passenger and Freighter, the 100 variants are working just fine). The issue I have is that as soon as I start to taxi on the ground or even use the FSX pushback option at any airport with any of the 200 variants, …

  6. Hello, I've made several virtual touchscreen instrument panels using Air Manager, but now I'd like to add my own knobs using rotary controllers approximately the same size as the knobs on standard aircraft instruments for a 3D printed overlay the 24" display that I'm using for Air Manager. I can do basic wiring and electronics, so if there are some kits or instructions on how to do this, please let me know

    Hope someone here might help as I was looking for info for days on the web but found nothing. I am a FSX user and fly only the B737-800 default, no 3rd party aircraft. So I build myself a MCP based specific on the B737-800 default MCP (auto pilot panel) and use FSUIPC to configure it via Mobiflight. All is working fine. But on the default B737-800 MCP there is button VOR LOC. When hover with the mouse over VOR LOC button the help tip says "Nav Hold switch" So I am looking for FSUIPC Event ID or Offset. I did search through FSUIPC documentation but could not find anything not anywhere web wise.

    In the past there was a company called MacPhat Studios that sold a cockpit upgrade for this plane. The link in the store is dead and according Coolsky this company does not exist any more. I found about this kit on this forum. There was a topic about it dated 2013, so a very long time ago. I would love to have this upgrade. I do not know it it is illegal in this case to ask if somebody could help me with a copy of the highest resolution blue panels . The reason I want this is to ease my old eyes with better readable labels on the panels. If not possible, is there a way I can "overhaul" them myself ? I have done this a few times in Xplane but I am rather new in P3…

    Hi everyone, I have been searching and asking this question everywhere I can find on the net. I have Windows 10 and am flying FSX w/Accel. I am trying to upgrade a panel for the A350 and have run into a problem. The .bmp of the main panel I have has a "slanted" gauge position in the left, and I would like to make the gauge(s) fit it. I have FS Panel Studio for FSX, but I can't find any instructions about doing this. Can someone tell me if this is possible and how to do it? Thank You

    I recently downloaded Chuck Dome's Subsonex and Subsonex2. I have repainted several of my downloaded aircraft in the past. When I go to the textures folder on both these aircraft I cannot find the needed file to repaint the aircrafts. I obviously am not familiar with this technique of an aircraft without a texture file in the folder. Can anyone give me a hint of how I go about extracting the texture needed to do a repaint on the aircraft. I guess however he does it, it does keep some people from repainting. Thanks for any reply.

    I am not sure if this is the correct place. I recently installed the Thomas Ruth A310 for P3D v5.2 . Over all,it's not bad at all,for freeware. My issue is I cannot tune the ILS or VOR frequencies. I click on them,but they will not change from 113.7 I tried changing the [radios] section to: [Radios] audio.1=1 com.1=1, 1 com.2=1, 1 nav.1=1, 0, 1 nav.2=1, 0, 0 adf.1=1 transponder.1=1 marker.1=1 But no luck.

    Hello All, I recently installed the LJ-45 Panel into the Iris Global Express. The 2-D panel works fine, however, the VC panels instruments'gauges do not show up. There is a .cab folder that contains over 600+ files. I'm not sure where to unzip the cab file to. If I could find the correct path to place the cab files contents, I believe the VC would work.

I could find someone who could bring it to FSX and P3D. The model will be freeware. so everyone can enjoy it. If anyone can help and take the project please PM me and i will send you the model. The AT12 Guardsman is the last remaining model of this plane that is 100% and flyable. And can be found at the Planes of Fame air Museum in Chino California. Thanks. Craig. Here are some picts of the P35 and AT12. P35 AT12
