Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Has anyone done a retrofit ISG panel.cfg for the payware Carenado C208 series for FSX? It is a great plane, and would be great to integrate these gauges into it.

I think it can be done.

I have the Carenado 206 series with cargo and Float ecc... + some other Carenados planes like the Bonanza, Cherokee, Archer, Seneca.
Carenado is often using the same cockpit panel for different planes, maybe with small differences.


I think that your 208 plane should have the same Cockpit + Vc as the 206.

Pls. supply the 2 cockpit images (use if possibile at least a 22 or 23 ' video)

Now the Question:
Witch kind of ISG Instruments would you like to use with such a plane ???

regards,
Raimund

This aircraft only has a VC, not a 2D panel. Here is the panel.cfg file:

Abnd therin lies the issue.

Unlike 2D panels, you can't add gauges to a VC.

VC have gauge surfaces reserved spots where gauges can be seen. Only the 3D modeller can change that.

So gauge wise your only option is to either replace one of the existing gauges with an ISG gauge, or use ISG gauges as popup windows.

I have the Carenado C208, what I've done is the latter. But that may not be your preference.

Regards.
Ernie.
