2D panel with GPS NAV switch

Post by Cool »

Hi
I am with accusim +B17 then I lost the 2D panel for communication which I understand is proposed with B17 only
this one in the right hand side of this picture

I use the aivlasoft EFB which pilots the FSX/P3D gps. Then I got use to navigate with GPS nav. Therefore the GPS/NAV switch is welcome
As I do not use the accusim 2D com panel, could you give me a link to get it back and I will manage to have it instead of the 2D com panel wich is available with accusim.
Thanks in advance
Pascal

Hi Lewis
Sorry if I am not clear enough, english is not my mother language :wink:

In fact I am looking for a 2D popup panel which can show a GPS/NAV switch. The raison is because I use the FSX GPS for navigation. I know this not very realistic in a B17 but...

I have already assign a button to the FSX command ' NAV1 GPS navigation toggle.
But in order to be sure I am in GPS mode for navigation, I was looking for a solution to have a popup 2D panel when I discover this picture above in the topic:
http://www.a2asimulations.com/forum/vie ... php?t=7414

But I understand that this is for the B17 without accusim beacause with accusim for B17 which I have a 2D communication panel which is very simple and do not have the GPS Nav switch as show hereafter in the yellow rectangle

Image

Hope I am more clear :shock:

Thank you
Pascal

Hello,

you would have to create this yourself or as you have mentioned just use the default command.

Personally, when using the map in the B-17 I just use the Heading mode/bug to fly long distances.

thanks,
Lewis

Hi,

Add the following to theWoP2_b17g Panel.cfg :

Window14=Radiostack to the [Window Titles]

Add this after [Window13]

[Window14]
file=radiostack.bmp
size_mm=320,600
position=2
visible=0
ident=RADIO_STACK_PANEL
zorder=3

gauge00=avionics!radio compass scr269, 10,28,300,278
gauge01=avionics!navgps switch, 245,367,48,92
gauge02=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 10,306,208
gauge03=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio DME, 10,382,208
gauge04=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Xpndr, 10,439,208


Also add radiostack.bmp from the old B17 without accusim to the panel folder.

This is what the panel.cfg will look like:

To access the radio stack, go to Views- Instrument Panel-Radiostack

If you dont use one of the current windows, you can just copy the window 14 text over it, but make sure to leave the original window number intact, and then copy the radio stack name over the original window title you used. Then you can use the appropriate Shift key to access it.

I hope this helps you.
