INTRODUCTION
Welcome, and thanks for downloading my panel.
This is version 4 of my DC-7 IFR panel, which represents a DC-7 in
the late 50's or early 60's (I call it version 4 since it is equivalent to
the version 4 DC-6 panel). New to this version are some great new
gauges by Kevin Trinkle, including a fully operational speed brake handle,
manifold pressure (MAP) gauges (twin needle), fuel pressure gauges that show
the effect of the boost pumps, and new gear lever and gear down indicators,
closer to the ones on the real DC-7's. The gear down indicator also shows the
position of the speed brake as well. Kevin has also done a new No Smoking/
Fasten Seat Belts switch gauge, and tied it to a door light gauge as well.
Also new is the brake sound gauge by HGHB (the panel must be visible for
the sound to play, so no sound in external view), the new individual OMI
marker lights by Dai Griffiths (DragonFlight Design), and the fuel level
gauges by Francois Ouellette (one gauge for the main tanks, the other for
the auxillaries). Finally, I've used Chuck Dome's Mkpink program to light
all the gauges for FS2000.
Of course, all of the great gauges from version 3 are still here, including
the wonderful Start, Magnetos, Cowlflaps, and CHT gauges by Kevin Trinkle.
The great radios and A/P by Ernie Kennedy are still here, and many things
have been updated/modified, including repainted RPM gauges for use with
the new moving parts FS98 DC-6B's that Harry Follas and I developed, with
the FDE by Brian Horsey. The main panel and overhead panel are two separate
bitmaps, which makes it easier to resize the main panel if used in full screen
mode (grab the top of the compass and drag it down). Also included is an
FS98/FS2K Checklist designed especially for this panel. Finally, I have
modified my propliner adventure (available separately) for the version 3 panel
to give you a copilot to remind you about all these gauges and switches, and
it includes a real GCA landing, with the radar controller giving you voice
instructions! (Requires an ILS tuned in). ProFlight98 module also included.
DETAILS AND KUDOS
The DC-6 panel by Petros Protopapas and Stephan Grille (AirTeam)
is a great addition to FS98 for us Classic Airliner fans (thanks,
guys!), but it was designed as a VFR "virtual cockpit", with everything
in perfect scale. However, for IFR flying in FS the gauges are quite
small and it doesn't have some "nice to have" gauges and indicators on
the panel.
I asked Kevin Trinkle (webmaster of the PSA History web page;
http://www.iflypsa.com) if he would do me a big favor and program some
propliner gauges (since he already had done an amazing job on
his L-188 Electra panel), and he graciously took on the job (and after I
agreed to paint a new moving parts PSA DC-6B :). Thanks so much!
I also have to thank Ernie Kennedy for his autopilot and radio gauges that
work more like the old propliner ones did (although they were actually on
the main console and wouldn't have fit on this panel). He did a great
job.
I've done all this to backdate the panel to the 50's and 60's, typically
when this plane was used in regular airline service.
I would like to thank all the other gauge programmers and repainters
listed at the top of this file; they are really doing the FS community a
service by providing these great gauges. Please honor the legal
restrictions at the bottom of this file. I would also like to thank
Benjamin Chen for the Gauge Browser program used to repaint the gauges
(available at www.SurClaro), Chuck Dome for his Gauge Mod 98
program used to remove digits from some gauges and the Mkpink program used
to light the gauges in FS2K (both available on his page;
http://home.att.net/~chdome. Finally, I would like to thank Microsoft
for the wonderful FS98/FS2K plane/panel system, and their support of
third-party add-on developers - great job!
HOW TO USE THE SPEED BRAKE
The speed brake was unique to the DC-7 among Douglas airliners. The main
gear could be lowered (the nose wheel remained retracted) and used to slow
the aircraft down during the descent and approach phase of the flight.
While you were allowed to use the speed brake at speeds of under 255 kts,
the hydraulic system was not capable of raising them at speeds much over
170 kts, so don't expect to be able to raise them at higher speeds! The
speed brake lever is the red lever next to the white gear lever. You will
get an indication that the speed brakes are extended on the gear position
indicator; a red light and 2 greens.
The new FS2K/FS98 DC-7's have animated speed brakes, and the flight dynamics
are set so that you will actually slow down realistically when you use the
speed brake with those planes. For other DC-7's, just copy an AIR file from
one of the new DC-7s over the top of your plane's AIR file (backup first), or
you can edit your plane's AIR file using ADE, setting the Spoiler Drag
variable to around 0.027. ADE is available at http://www.SurClaro/ADE/.
HOW TO USE THE GAUGES BACK FROM VERSION 3
START, MAGNETOS, and BOOST PUMPS: These new gauges by Kevin Trinkle
simulate the actual start sequence used on the old propliners and are
found on the overhead panel. If you follow the proper procedure, you
will have a very realistic piston startup, complete with sound!
For the proper visual appearance, you MUST have Magnetos active in FS2K
or FS98. In FS2000, make sure that the Enable Auto Mixture box is
UNCHECKED in the Aircraft/Realism Settings menu. In FS98 go to
Aircraft/Aircraft Settings/Engines and check the Magnetos box. You will
need to change to the default Cessna and then switch back to get Prop control
back - this is an FS98 bug. For both simulators, save a Flight at this point
and when the Flight is loaded (or make it your default Flight) things will be
set up properly.
To start the engines, first you MUST turn on the Boost Pumps (these are
booster fuel pumps) - the engines won't start without them! Second, use
the Engine Selector knob to select the desired engine to start (the
typical sequence was 3-4-2-1). Now press the START switch - the PRIME,
(ignition) BOOST, and SAFETY switches will automatically throw at the same
time. If you have an Aircraft Animator moving parts plane, you will see
the prop begin to turn slowly. Allow at least 6 prop blades to pass
before throwing the proper MAGNETO knob to BOTH (3 clicks on +); the
engine will then come to life and you will hear the engine start up. If
you have a non-animated aircraft the sequence is the same, but the props
won't slowly turn, and no external change will be visible before you start
engine #1. The START switch must be in the OFF position before selecting
another engine; it will turn off automatically or you may turn it off yourself.
If you don't want to flip all the switches, just throw the magnetos to
BOTH (or press M+++) and the engines will start right up. If you later
try to use the proper start sequence, the switches won't all be in their
proper positions, but the start sequence will still work fine.
COWL FLAPS: This new gauge by Kevin Trinkle simulates the control for the
nacelle cowl flaps, which are used to cool the engines when needed.
Basically, there are 4 positions for these knobs - CLOSED, 1.5 and 4
degrees, and OPEN. Use OPEN for taxiing, 4 degrees for takeoff and
landing, and CLOSED and 1.5 degrees for cruising. These actually modify
the cylinder head temperature (CHT) - Kevin's new CHT gauges are found
underneath the manifold pressure (MAP) gauges. The flyDC7.txt file has
details on how this gauge is used in real life. Short course - open them
after you start the engines, and keep them in the green!
If you don't have the FS98 Patch Set 1 installed, the needles of the CHT gauges
may spin around. They will settle down by themselves in a bit, but to avoid it
altogether just remember to not open the cowl flaps until after you have
started the engines (i.e. wait a while after FS98 is loaded before opening
the cowl flaps). This is not proper technique according to the DC-7 manuals,
but I happen to know that some pilots used this technique to speed up the
warmup of the engines, especially on cold days!
NAV INSTRUMENTS: This panel now contains the proper NAV instrumentation
for a propliner of the 1950's and early 60's - an ILS gauge, an OBS dial,
and an RMI (with VOR and ADF needles). The ILS/VOR gauge (typical crossed
needles)(which uses VOR 1) is adjusted by the OBS gauge (by Kevin Trinkle
- thanks!), where you can use the Omni Bearing Selector to adjust the VOR
radial you are tracking. It also contains the TO/FROM indicator (if there
is no VOR/ILS being received, the needle will be horizontal in the red
zone), and a Glideslope OFF flag (the red rectangle appears on the left
edge of the gauge). The RMI (repainted from an HGHB RMI - thanks!) is
quite typical; the double needle displays the course to the NDB, and the
single needle the course to VOR 2.
RADAR ON/OFF Switch: The small white knob next to the radar screen will
turn the radar on and off. Just click on it. This repainted gauge is
assumed to be programmed by Andi Jaros/FPDA; it was found by Kristopher
Crook on a Paul Golding panel - thanks!
FUEL SELECTOR PANEL: This repainted gauge by Chuck Dome on the overhead
panel will allow you to select which tank the fuel is being drawn from,
including ALL and NONE.
WATER INJECTION PUMPS: These switches control the water injection of the
Anti-Detonation system (the ADI). In DC-7's, they are used to increase power
at takeoff. They are turned off after going to Climb power.
PARKING BRAKE KNOB: You can now click on the parking brake handle to turn
them on/off. Gauge by Glenn Copeland.
SUCTION GAUGE: You can check the vacuum system with the small gauge on
the lower left. Author unknown.
OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE: This repainted gauge by Richard Probst displays
the outside air temperature in degrees C., important for IAS/TAS
conversions, etc.
BEACON SWITCH: The "strobe" switch has been relabeled "BCN" to turn
on/off the rotating beacon.
HOW TO USE GAUGES BACK FROM VERSION 2:
AUTOPILOT: Ernie Kennedy's Autopilot Gauge works the same as the Cessna
Bendix-King autopilot, except that whether you use Cntrl-X or the ALT
switch, it will always set the current altitude as the autopilot altitude.
You might notice that it is occasionally 100 ft off; this is a nice quirk
and you'll need to compensate for it. There is also a knob, which
works just like the orange Heading Bug Selector on the Directional Gyro;
it sets your heading while on HDG hold. The letters are a bit small; the
order of the switches (left to right) is
OFF, HDG, ALT, NAV, APR, and B/C.
PLEASE NOTE: you change the ALT and V/S readouts on this gauge by
clicking the small knobs below the readouts. This is also true for the
new radios. Watch the knobs go around!
For the purists out there, I realize that this AP panel is not where
the real AP was located (on the center console) and has more modes than
the actual DC-7 AP. However, I included them because we don't have a
Copilot and Flight Engineer to handle all the details that this panel
allows. Think of the AP as a "virtual pilot" that steers the plane,
while you take the role of copilot or FE to set the prop controls,
mixtures, etc. For example, I often want to be the FE on takeoff.
Although this was NEVER done in reality, I turn on the AP and set the
ALT to 1000 feet AGL or so, and the V/S to around 500 fpm. I can then
monitor the engine instruments as the "virtual pilot" takes the plane
off the runway; I then engage the HDG hold. I then can manipulate the
controls for METO (above 500 ft AGL) and Climb power (above 1500 ft AGL),
and handle the landing gear, flaps, and cowl flaps. Lots of fun!!
If you want to be brutally realistic, the Douglas DC-4 and DC-6 AP
originally had attitude hold (with coordinated turns possible with the
knob) and altitude hold (which would hold the current altitude
only). However, the V/S mode could be simulated with the attitude hold,
which would keep your nose in a climb or descent attitude. Later planes
(i.e. early DC-6B's) also had the ability to follow a radio beam (NAV mode
and LOC mode); most DC-6's were retrofitted to this standard. Later
DC-6B's and DC-7s had the ability to follow an ILS (APR and B/C modes).
Some were later retrofitted to have a real ALT mode, with a V/S setting.
RADIOS: These gauges by Ernie Kennedy work much like all the others.
There are two things to watch for: to change the COM frequency the RADIO
MASTER switch must be ON, and to see a distance readout the DME must be
turned ON. Change frequencies using the knobs!
RADAR SCREEN: This is a simulation of the DC-6/7 nose weather radar, it
doesn't actually display the weather ahead. Gauge by Guntram
Strasser/Omega Solutions.
HFADF: The HFADF gauge (used for long range overwater flights; this is a
simulation of ground based HF direction finding)(available separately at
the Classic Airliner Panels Page) can be used with this panel. Just open
this panel's PANEL.CFG file and remove the two leading slashes from the
line: //gauge11=fakeadf, 927, 105, 90
HOW TO USE THE SUBPANELS
Shift-3 will turn on the radar, or just use the white button next to the
radar screen.
Shift-4 will give you the Minicontrols.

For intalling into FS98 replace "FS2K" above with "FS98". Either one refers to
your main FS folder, whatever you may have called it.
You can also download FS2K/FS98 DC-7's by Tom Gibson and Harry Follas ready to
fly with this panel, complete with moving parts and FDE by Brian Horsey.
Get them at the Classic Airliner page:
http://members.aol.com/TGFltsim/dc6b.htm
The propliner adventure gives you a copilot in the cockpit, giving
checklists, cabin announcements, and other help. It is also available at the
Classic Airliner page: http://members.aol.com/TGFltsim/
I also recommend the Connie Sounds package, by Hans-Peter Christeler.
It can be downloaded from: http://members.aol.com/TGFltsim/sound.htm
You will need to change the plane's sound.cfg file - edit it in Notepad;
instructions are in the sound package, or on the Classic Airliner Sounds page,
http://members.aol.com/TGFltsim/sound.htm.
INSTALLATION
THIS PANEL IS FOR FS98/CFS/FS2000 ONLY! IT WILL NOT WORK IN FS4, FS5, OR
FS95. YOU MUST HAVE THE FS98 CONVERTER INSTALLED TO USE THIS PANEL IN
FS98. INSTALLATION IS IDENTICAL FOR FS98 AND FS2000.
PLEASE NOTE!! THIS IS AN ADD-ON TO THE DC6 IFR PANEL VERSION 4. YOU MUST
HAVE DC6PNLIFR4.ZIP INSTALLED AS DESCRIBED IN THE DC-6 IFR PANEL INSTRUCTIONS
OR THIS DC-7 PANEL WILL NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like to make a separate directory in the AIRCRAFT directory for this
panel, instead of putting it into many different planes' directory. (I do
this to avoid making multiple installations of the panel for different
planes- saves disk space.)
1. Download and install the DC-6 IFR Panel, version 4, according to the
instructions in that archive's text file. This means you must install
it into a folder called DC6PnlIFR4. THIS DC-7 ADD-ON PANEL WILL NOT WORK
OR WILL CAUSE YOUR SIMULATOR TO CRASH IF THIS IS NOT DONE. You can get
this file at Tom Gibson's Classic Airliner Panel Page:
http://members.aol.com/TGFltsim/panels.htm
2. Unzip the file archive DC7PnlIFR4.zip into a temporary folder with a
program that preserves long file names, like WinZip or Norton
Navigator. Only the latest version of PKUNZIP will work!! Get them
at places like www.shareware.com. Make sure to check the "Use Stored
Folders" option!!
3. Unzip the file archive gauges.zip with a program that preserves long
file names into a different temporary folder. Check the filenames -
they should be long filenames like Propliner.rpm1.gau. If so, copy
all the files within this temporary folder into your FS98/FS2K GAUGES
folder. Let them overwrite the old versions; they have all been
improved.
4. Unzip the panel.zip file archive into an empty temporary folder.
If you end up with a DC7PnlIFR4 folder then:
5. Move or copy the actual DC7PnlIFR4 folder (and all it's contents) into
your FS2K or FS98 AIRCRAFT folder. Go to step 8.
If you end up with a big bunch of files but no folders, then:
5a. If you don't see filenames ending with a 3 letter extension like
xxx.gau or xxx.bmp, then in My Computer you need to go to the
View/Options/View tab and unclick the "Hide MS-DOS file
extensions..." box.
6a. Create a new DC7PnlIFR4 folder within your FS2K or FS98 AIRCRAFT folder
(i.e. FS98\AIRCRAFT\DC7PnlIFR4).
7a. Copy the files unzipped from panel.zip into your new DC7PnlIFR4 folder.
FOR EACH PLANE THAT SHOULD USE THESE PANELS:
8. Each plane has a separate folder in the FS2K or FS98 AIRCRAFT folder.
9. Go into the PANEL subfolder of the desired plane, and open the
PANEL.CFG file in Notepad. The file will look like:
[fltsim]
alias=FSFSConv\panel.Recip.rg.4
If it doesn't look like the above, check the folder's location.
If you are installing the DC-6 IFR panel into a plane that has a
folder name of L749WAL, for example, you should be looking at:
FS98\AIRCRAFT\L749WAL\PANEL\panel.cfg. If this is correct, then
you've already installed another panel. If you still want the DC-6
panel, keep going!
10. Change this file to look like:
[fltsim]
alias=DC7PnlIFR4
11. Save the file.
12. Done!
IF YOU WANT TO USE THE INCLUDED FS2K/FS98 CHECKLIST FILE
1. Copy the included chk0.cfg file into each desired plane's folder
(within the FS2K/FS98 AIRCRAFT folder).
2. Within this same folder is an aircraft.cfg file - open this file
in Notepad.
3. Change the line checklists= to checklists=chk0 and save the file.
4. The checklist can be accessed within FS via the menu or by pressing
Shift-C (press Shift-C to access the next checklist too).
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. I GET A BLACK SCREEN OR MY FLIGHT SIMULATOR CRASHES WHEN I TRY TO
USE THIS PANEL! This panel requires the DC-6 IFR panel to be
installed first. If it isn't, this panel won't work or will crash
your simulator.
2. THE SPEED BRAKE WILL LOWER, BUT IT WON'T GO BACK UP. You must be slower
than 170 kts or so for the speed brake lever to raise the speed brake
(the main gear). The real DC-7's hydraulic system wasn't capable of
raising the speed brake at higher speeds. If you want to do it anyway,
you can press the / key.
3. THE ENGINES WON'T START!: If you use the Start gauge to start the
the engines, you MUST turn on the boost pumps first.
4. THE MAGNETO KNOBS ARE MOVING TO BOTH BY THEMSELVES: If you use the
keyboard to turn off the engines, the knob positions will no longer
always be correct. This will also happen if you let the start switch
time out (15 seconds) without starting the engine with the magnetos.
The start sequence will still work fine; just click on the + side of
the magneto and the engine will start (if everything else is correct).
Also, in FS2000 the magnetos will "flip" a bit while the engine is
turning over; this is normal. It will not affect your start sequence.
5. WHEN I MOVE THE ENGINE SELECT KNOB THE ENGINES DIE: If you move the
engine selector knob before the start switch has gone back to OFF you
will kill the engine(s). The start switch will automatically go back to
OFF after ~15 seconds, or you can turn it off yourself.
6. THE CHT GAUGE NEEDLES ARE SPINNING AROUND: If you don't have the Patch
Set installed (and occasionally on other systems), when you first start
up FS98 and then open the cowl flaps the needles may spin around and
around. Be patient; they will stop by themselves eventually. To avoid
this happening altogether, just start your engines (i.e. wait a while)
before opening your cowl flaps.
7. I CAN'T GET MY PROPS TO TURN SLOWLY AFTER I PRESS THE START SWITCH:
You must have Mixture control activated in FS98/FS2K. If not, the engines
will start as soon as you press the Start switch. If you aren't
using a plane animated with Aircraft Animator, you will not see the
slowly moving props. In fact, you won't see anything happen (outside
the cockpit) until you start engine #1 with the magnetos.
8. THE PLANE THAT I HAVE ASSIGNED THIS PANEL DOES NOT SHOW UP IN
THE SELECT PLANE MENU: you have installed this panel or modified
the plane's panel.cfg file incorrectly! Go through and double check
that you have done each step correctly. This is almost always the
problem. Also see #7.
9. THE PANEL APPEARS BUT THERE ARE ALMOST NO GAUGES: did you unzip the
embedded gauges.zip file and then copy all the *.gau files into your
FS98/FS2K GAUGES folder? All of the *.gau files need to be within the
main FS98/FS2K GAUGES folder.
The other problem might be that your unzipping program can't
handle long Win95/Win98 filenames; check your unzipped gauges and
check if they have names like Prop2ERKadf.gau (differences
in uppercase/lowercase is not important). If not, you need to
download a new unzipper. I suggest either WinZip or the
*latest* version of PKUNZIP - it must mention that it will work
with long filenames in the text file. You can get these from
places like www.jumbo.com and www.shareware.com.
10. THE RPM OF ENGINE 1 IS LOWER THAN ALL THE REST: try pressing Shift-4,
and then Shift-4 again. If this doesn't work, go to the World/Time &
Season menu, and click on the Set Actual Time button. Set the time
for 2200 (10 pm). Click OK. Now go there again and set the time
back to what you want. Engine 1 RPM should now be OK. This is an
FS98 bug.
11. THE ENTIRE PANEL APPEARS DISORTED, OR THE SUBPANELS ARE SMALL SQUARES
IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER, OR THEY ARE NOT IN THEIR PROPER LOCATIONS:
you have probably used this panel in a Flight that originally used a
different panel. Just select a plane that uses a different panel (like
the Cessna), and then select your original plane again. If you want to,
you can then resave the Flight and the panel will appear correctly after
loading that Flight.
12. I CAN'T CHANGE THE COM 1 FREQUENCY, AND THE DME IS ALWAYS ZERO: You
need to turn the RADIO MASTER and the DME switches to ON.
13. I CAN'T CHANGE THE NUMBERS ON THE AUTOPILOT OR THE RADIOS: the
numbers on the autopilot and radio gauges are changed by clicking
the mouse on the little knobs below the digits; decrease them by
clicking to the left of the knobs, right of the knobs for increase.
14. I DON'T HEAR A "DING" WHEN I THROW THE SEAT BELT OR NO SMOKING
SWITCHES OR HEAR THE "CLICK" SOUND (ETC.). You must move the
.wav files from the sound.zip file into your FS98/FS2K SOUND folder
to hear the sounds.
15. If you have problems that cannot be corrected by the steps above,
feel free to email me. However, I will expect that if you have
one of the problems listed above that you will tell me that you
tried the fix and it didn't work - otherwise I will just guide you
to this section!! If you don't have any of the problems above,
make sure that you READ EACH STEP in the instructions again and
double check that it was performed correctly. I will expect you in
your email to tell me you have done this. My email address is:
tgibson@sunstroke.sdsu.edu.
