for those of you who have seen the aircraft (see screenshots section), here are a few sample pics of the panel.
IT IS FOR FREEWARE RELEASE TO VIRTUAL US NAVY SQUADRONS ONLY (that may change at a later date)
www.vusn.org.
some screenshots below of the panel, in detail (specifically the weapons pages of the MFD).
-Here you can see the startup screen of the Left MFD (you can move around the various MFD pages by pressing the buttons next to the text on the MFD's). This is the main weapons page, but the weapons system is not armed, so we can't do anything with the weapons until we arm them.
You can also see the completely new, specially written XML engine gauges, with the afterburner point marked (~70% N1) & the N1 bars turn red when you go into burner.
-Here the weapons sytem has been armed & the system test complete light is lit. notice how a set of new buttons has appeared on the left MFD (1 button for each of the loadouts provided, so you go to the load page of the model you are flying at that time).
-Here the CAP weapons page is displayed (note new buttons at the bottom of the MFD). Clicking NOSE HOT will light up the A/A light above the main systems arming switch.
You can arm the individual weapons by clicking the buttons that appear on the page (in this case AIM-9 or AIM-120).
-Here are the AIM-120's armed.
-This is the JDAM (PRS, Precision Strike) load page, with the JDAMs armed. Note that when carried, the FLIR is activated on the weapons page & will light up the A/G light & LASER light.
there are over 200 gauges in the panel & almost everything works!!!. Also the panel is a forward view only (so those annoying side panels/extra radio panels that spoil the view aren't included) & includes green night lighting (no default FS pink panel lighting) & a virtual cockpit.
the whole package should also be FS9 compatible (with a few minor panel changes) for those of you using it.
