The official FS2002 compatibility update for all 3 models in the Beaver7 package.
This update is for FS2002 compatibility only, the original visual models remain unchanged and there are no added features. Included are files to update the panels, flight models, and several of the gauges.
It is assumed that Beaver7.zip has already been correctly installed in FS2002. If you have customized the standard Beaver installation with panel modifications or changes to folder names etc. then you are on your own.
-------------
Installation of the upgrade:
Unzip this archive into your FS2002 root folder (make sure Winzip has the 'use folder names' and 'overwrite existing files' options checked) and it will put everything in the right place and overwrite any older files.
If you insist on doing the installation manually please note that "fssound.dll" must go into the FS2002\modules folder.
The panel is set up for the Kingair Collins radios which are only available with FS2002 Pro. If you have FS2002 Standard or wish to use the Bendix radios, find "panel.cfg" in the Beaver_F\panel folder and rename or delete it and then rename "STDpanel.cfg" as "panel.cfg".
If you get an error message that "FS2002 was unable to load some 3rd party software" make sure that BOTH of the following lines appear in your fs2002.cfg file.
[OLDMODULES] ;<-- if this line already exists
fssound.dll=1 ;<-- only add this line below it
Thanks to Glenn Davy for flight testing and advising on the flight models.
