I've finished tonight's efforts by completing the 1974 Duke B60 panel.

Some features have changed since the last screenshots with a change in the radio stack to bring it more into line with the real deal, and the addition of the removable yoke with working ATC and autopilot master switches.

Unlike the Baron panel, this has been an exercise in trying to keep everything as authentic as possible within the limitations of FS2002 and available gauges.

I'll be uploading this tomorrow as I've still got to sort the gauges out and the readme files etc.

Another one!  BOTA gave me a Duke and I just flew it yesterday.  Handles nice when both engines work.  I can keep their body and swap in your panel.

This was actually a lot more work than the Baron. I had to do the bitmap more or less from scratch (not my strong suit as you can probably tell) and go hunting through nearly 3,500 gauges to find the closest I could visually.

What's BOTA btw?

You don't know how long I've waited for someone to ask that.  I can't believe everyone here isn't playing.  It's FS on heavy drugs.

Be sure to check out the video while you're there (BOTA).

WebbPA - very interesting! Unfortunately, I've been a little busy lately Grin but it loook like something I'll keep my eye on!

Is that B60 you got Chuck Dome's btw? If it's another one, I'd be interested in having a look. Where's the d/load link for it?

Andrew - Thanks a lot! Smiley

Here's the readme from the Duke.  I don't know if there's a later one or not.

It looks great.  I have to say that the thing about your panels that impresses me most is how clean and usable they are.  Youy included everything needed for any situation.  I guess that comes from packing for that RTW flight

Hi Chops and thanks.

I'm a stickler for pixel perfect positioning (you've no idea how much time I spend on that LOL).

The Baron panel, which is of course fictional, is pretty "busy". As someone else commented in another thread, it gives me some toys to play with when I'm on a long boring stretch of a leg - oversea for instance.

It's quite fun watching the traffic alerts for A.I. aircraft visually on the TCAS. Smiley

WebbPA - b19fac22.zip is the Beechcraft B1900, not the B60. If the rest of that readme is out of that file, Chuck's presumably copied the readme over to the new file with the intention of editing it and forgotten to change that bit. Smiley

His latest incarnation of the B60 is: dukeb602.zip

GREAT panels. Professional, clean, useable, realistic (as far as I can see). Fantastic job!

Very nice of you to say so. Smiley

Credit should go to G.Coca without whose original version of the Baron Panel layout and bitmap, mine wouldn't have appeared.
