Thanks for downloading the FS2004 Cessna 208B Glass Panel Version I. This offering is the closest modern Cessna glass panel for the Grand Caravan and Caravan Amphibian for FS2004 on Flightsim. This panel is for a request from a fellow Flightsimmer. Thanks Ben, good idea, hope it meets your expectations.
The displays aren't exactly the Garmin G1000 system but they're still a lot of fun and have most of the same info. The bitmaps are from photos where I could find them on-line and the moving yokes make it a little more realistic for 2d panels. Some of us still prefer 2d panels.
The digital engine gauges are re-worked from Tom Goodrick's and the Flight Info Display is Georg Aubele's third version modified for this panel. The Apollo Audio Panel is Gerd R.Nehr's. Thank you guys for your great work.
You'll notice there are no radios except for the default King AP and the Apollo Audio Panel. You'll find that you can change frequencies for coms, navs, ADF and Transponder from the last tab of the Flight Info gauge. Also reset fuel and time in this gauge for running totals before takeoff. Neat stuff. Georg is The Man for this gauge! Course and heading and Nav/GPS can be selected from the HSI window (icon) which opens the default King-air HSI over the display. Mouse over the panel and gauges to find a lot of neat features. I would have made a diagram but most of you know this stuff anyway and I tried to keep the file size small.
This panel is offered as Freeware, so use it as you wish for no financial gain and at your own risk. Please do not use any copywritten material without permission. Everything works fine on my machine but if you have any difficulties or questions please e-mail me.
To install: unzip to your desktop. Copy the gauges to your main gauges directory, keeping the black GPS (blkgps),Digital and the Dual Cessna Yokes (CesYoke5) folders intact and copy the Grand 208B Panel file into the 208B main folder and the Amphib 208B into the C208 (Amphib) folder. Copy the sound files to your main sound directory for the audio panel. You may want to first re-name your current panel file in case you want to restore it later.
Thanks again and enjoy! As always let me know what you think.
