Airbus A340 photoreal panel
For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000
1024x768 resolution
By Norbert Jaun, Feb. 13, 2001
This is a photoreal A340 panel for use with FS2000.
My aim was to place the most essential instruments permanently in the field of vision of the pilot
in combination with photorealism and readability of the instruments as much as possible.
Some standard MSFS-gauges are used in addition with some freeware stuff.
Components:
-----------------
- A photoreal overhead panel permanently viewn and fitting above the windshield.
- A virtual overhead panel with starter gauges - not as in reality but they simulate
a little bit the real procedure of starting the engines
- Andreas Jaros' windshield wipers
- A permanent throttle quadrant fixed at the right side.
- Some other gimmicks like altitude callouts, moveable pilot stick, pushback gauge etc.
- the 180° cabin views are included
- the rear view shows the original passenger cabin a with two persons .... :-))
This panel is to use with every A340 only for FS2000.
It was tested with Camil Valiquette's Airbus A340-300 ProMaxL2 series
Best results given with a resolution of 1024X768 pix and minimum a 17" monitor
