Thanks for downloading this package and I hope you enjoy flying the aircraft.
TO INSTALL THE PANEL....
1. Unzip the panel package to the default unzipped folder or select your favourite folder.
2. Copy and paste the gauges folder contents into the FS Gauges folder, by pasting into the FS2000 folder.
3. Copy and paste the AirBr111 folder into FS2000 Aircraft folder, and that's it, you're ready to fly.
Testing of the aircraft/panel and known problems.
This panel is designed to run in FS2000 in the default 800x600 screen resolution in 2D/3D,and has had several hours of flight testing, including autopilot coupled approaches.
The only known problem is that sometimes the next time the BAC1-11 is selected after the the initial installation, the error messages PANEL error and IMAGUI error can appear,and Flight Simulator shuts down.
This can be prevented by selecting the B737-400 first,and then selecting the BAC1-11, or if FS2000 is misbehaving, by cutting and pasting the AirBr111 folder to the desktop, restarting FS2000 then copy and paste the AirBr111 folder back into the FS Aircraft folder, then select aircraft.
Cockpit Information......
The cockpit is as as accurate as I can get with the limitations of screen space and gauges available to use, and tries to represent the typical layout found on modified BAC1-11-510 srs aircraft.
The centre Nav Lights switch also controls the switching of some of the instrument background lights.
The screen in the bottom L/H corner of the cockpit represents an ECKO E190 Weather Radar display with scanning trace,and were fitted on each side of the cockpit by the pilots knees.
The standard FS toggle switches are fitted to get the centre pedestal/throttle,GPS Map and Radio Select Panel displays.
The Autopilot is located at the back of the Throttle panel, like on the real 1-11-510.
The engines can be shut down using the Fire Handles, by clicking on the l/h circle on number 1 or number 2 Fire Handles.
The ADI flight director command bars can be brought into view by clicking on the FD switch on the right hand side of the instrument, which causes the FD switch to turn green.
The RMI single pointer (no.1) is set to display ADF bearing and the double pointer (no.2) displays VOR 2 bearing.
To change course, just click the mouse pointer over the course or heading windows and select as required.
To change heading, click the mouse pointer over the HSI HDG knob.
The Altitude Select/Warn gauge on the centre panel can be also used to select required altitude when the autopilot is in ALT HOLD mode, but has a rate of change limit of 2000ft/min., so it is better to go out of ALT HOLD mode and manually change height for large changes in height.
