Downloading FS9 models into FSX

[DaveB]

Hi John..

I'm gonna have to try and recreate what you're trying to see myself as my panel.cfg is vastly different to yours (I'm using the modified panel Paul Edwards made for the Halton/CMk8). Hang in there and I'll see what I find

Hi John

I've just put your cfg into the Halifax/Halton and I'm seeing gauges They're slightly misplaced in 2D due to my modified bitmap but otherwise, I see gauges. I have the original Halifax cabfile in my panel folder along with the York subfolder taken out of the York panel folder.

STOP THE CLOCK!!!

I did it all again and it is perfect.

I must have missed something the first time.

Thanks Dave.

Hi John

It is probably the same one. I didn't upload it (or download it) but it was uploaded on my behalf.. I think by Leif (dispatchdragon) The actual model was uploaded as a freebie from Alphasim (though I'd already bought it!) and the VA pack at ClassicBritishFiles needs the original model (as I remember).. downloaded from one of the main sites.. Avsim/Flightsim.com. The airfile was tweaked to be more representative of a Halton/CMk8 by Paul Edwards who also made replacement gauges (Alpha rarely upload gauges with their freeware releases). I did a handful of paints and there you have it.. a VA pack

EDIT as posted..
OK mate.. glad you're sorted

Just a tip for when you're fiddling in future, you can set a key combination to force reload the aircraft to effect any changes you may have made to cfg files, the model, textures etc. without having to exit FSX. Under the key mappings it's listed as 'Aircraft Reload', by default it's not set to anything, I find ctrl+shift+r works and isn't set to anything else.
