Hi guys,

I have downloaded a few A340-300 POSKY aircraft. I have Ken Mitchell's A340 panel. I can't manage to install the panel in the aircraft. any idea how? I don't have the same problem with A330 panels!

many thanks

I just downloaded Ken's fine A340 panel package and installed it on a A340 POSKY aircraft with no problems.  This is the procedure I used:

a. Unzipped Ken's panel to a temporary folder.

This resulted in several folders - Panel, Gauges, Docs and Sound plus some images.

b. Renamed the folder named Panel to Panel.Ken (note the period between the word Panel and Ken)

c. Placed the 11 gauge files (from the Gauge folder) into the folder named Panel.Ken - as FS looks in the panel folder first for any gauges which are called for. If I decide not to keep this panel, one delete will get it all with no stray gauges to hunt down.

d. Placed a copy of the folder named Panel.Ken into my Posky A340 aircraft folder.

e. Edited the panel= line of the various [fltsim.X] entries to read panel=Ken

That tells FS to use the data in the folder named Panel.Ken rather than the data in the folder just named Panel.

Saved the edited aircraft.cfg file of course.

It works just fine for me - hope that helps.
