Hi Guys I have downloaded some ac packages which were in the FS04 files and once I copy them into my simobjects folder i have the A/c but no gauges can u help???

Here is an example of a file i downloaded

Aerodesigns Airbus A318-111 which i found when i did a search for A318 aircraft and this looked cool. But it doesnt work. i have experienced this before when downloading some of the aircraft from 04 to use in fsx!

 

If your gonna do it do it properly!

The problem is, that the panel is aliased to the default FS2004 Boeing 737-400. That plane is not in FSX, so you need to alias it to either the default FSX 737-800, or even better, the Default FSX A321

You need to go into the aircraft's folder,

-open the panel folder


-open the only file in that folder, panel.cfg, with notepad


-change the text to one of the two following entries,
depending on which panel you would like to use:

Code:
[fltsim]
alias=b737_800\panel

or

[fltsim]
alias=Airbus_A321\panel 





-save it.



you should now have a working panel.

You do know we have FSX downloads too?   Wink

The FS2004 planes are not always compatible, and usually require a few modifications to work in FSX, or even show up at all, and that is why you are having issues with them.

When they are used in their correct sim, they work just fine.  Wink
