FS2004 Vickers Viscount 802/806 panel, by Fraser A. McKay Version 1.
This panel is representative of the 802 and 806 series aircraft delivered to
BEA and subsequently operated by its subsidiaries before amalgamation into
British Airways. The last operator in the UK was the late British World Airlines
formerly BAF. Thre is a possibility that two aircraft, an 802 and an 806 formerly
G-AOHV and G-APEY may still be airworthy in southern Africa.
As one would expect there are a number of differences between the BEA aircraft
and other models, therefore it is strongly recommended that the manual be read;
it is probably worth printing and keeping to hand in addition to the printable
checklist and Fuel Trim chart.
Installation:
Unzip VC802pl1.zip to a convenient location, the desktop is ideal. Inside the
unzipped folder there is a folder called Panel;copy or cut this to your
Vickers Viscount folder in FS2004. The cabinet file called VC806 should be
copied or cut to the main Gauges folder in FS2004. Do not extract this file,
simply move it as it is.
The panel is designed to be as realistic as possible, therefore a concomitant
increase in workload can be expected. That's the great thing about freeware -
if you don't like it - Delete it.
