FS2004 Vickers Viscount 802/806 panel, by Fraser A. McKay Version 2.0
This panel has been extensively modified from the original version, both
in appearance and in systems operation, 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:
If you are already using the Viscount 810 panel and wish to continue doing so,
it is necessary to have two separate Viscount folders within the FS9 Aircraft folder
because the two panels require different aircraft cfg.settings. For example these
could be named VICKERS VISCOUNT 800 and VICKERS VISCOUNT 810. Place all the parts
relative to each model in their respective folder and make sure the ui_type line for
each texture entry in the aircraft cfg. files reads Viscount 800 or Viscount 810 to
keep them apart in the FS aircraft selection menu.
Unzip VC802pl2.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 800 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. Extract the Documents file to obtain the manual,
checklist and trim chart.
Several amendments to the aircraft cfg. file are required for the panel to work properly;
these can be found in the MUST READ section of the manual.
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.
