FS2002 Airbus A330 Panel v2.0
By Mattias Nordin
-----------------------------
This panel is a result of months of hard work studying photos,
videos and drawings of the real A330 panel.
But as any panel it is a compromise of the real thing.
With a few exceptions it uses customized XML-gauges only with the
same basic functions as the FS2002 Boeing 747.
This panel is freeware. You may not alter it other than for personal
use without my permission.
Installation
------------
Extract the file "330pnl20.zip" to a teporary folder.
Place the "panel" folder in your favourite Airbus folder (FS2002/Aircraft/My Airbus).
Move the "AirbusA330.cab" file in the "gauges" folder to your
local FS2002/Gauges folder.
DO NOT Unzip this file!
This panel also requires the stock 737 radio and a couple of stock Lear45 buttons.
Using the panel
---------------
Using the panel is pretty straight forward but here are a few tips:
- The overhead panel displays by pressing the "OH" button on top-right hand
side of the screen, and closes by preesing the "OH" on the overhead.
- All displays except the Checklist uses customized SimIcons placed on the
EFIS next to the Autopilot.
- The ECAM (EICAS) has two display modes which are switched using the "ECAM Switching"
rotor on the center of the panel.
- The OBS is set on the Pedestal panel (ECU) rather than clicking the ND
as on the 747.
- The AutoBrake works in a sequential mode, not by cling any single button,
and is switched off when all lights are off and when no message appears on the ECAM.
- The panel flood light is switched on/off on the ECU instead of on the overhead panel.
- The engine Autostart switch is placed below the fuel cutoff switches
on the ECU. The engines can be manually started by using the "Eng man start" switches
on the overhead panel.
