There is a Condor at Simviation adapted to FSX by the guys at CalClassic (it was originally to 2004) but they did not made the 2D panel; I never saw it in the 2004 version but I bet it was one Beautiful work of art, I have the feeling.... Same, the VC it's there but all the gauges are all-black... I dont know, but I suppose it's not that much realistic.. Does someone knows where to find at least a 2d panel? (There is a group of enthisiasts trying to rebuild a Condor in Germany - there's none in existence today - and they have maybe 30% of the real original panel and gauges and for what I saw the Condor and the JU-52 have some gauges in common.... That's a start... If someone knows where to find a detailed color or colorized photo of the FW 200 Condor real panel, maybe I could give a try at making a 2d panel myself.... Huh I have a "thing" about this aircraft: in 41, one of them made an emergency landing almost at my doorstep and the crew abandoned it... not before plugging a self-destruct charge Smiley Thanks!

Update: just in case there's someone more interested, I just found high def full color pic of the said FW 200 Condor where it is possible to see in detail the gauges, plus, as a bonus, I have the layout of the original cockpit with all gauges, levers, controls etc with the respective names and functions for all the controls and gauges.  Cool

This one from here at SimV works fine:

Make sure you install the .cab file named c119 in your FSX/Gauges folder. Otherwise the gauges will not display Smiley
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks for the advice, Chuck79! In fact, the c119 folder was in place, but in the process of checking it, I noticed that the normal installation that I had made some time ago had not placed the Kedi folder, for some reason Shocked. The situation is now corrected and my Condor has the 2d panel fully operational! Smiley
