FS2004 Vickers Viscount 810 panel, by Fraser A. McKay Version 2.
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:
Unzip VC813pl2.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 folder in FS2004. The cabinet file called VC813 should be
copied or cut to the main Gauges folder in FS2004. Do not extract this file,
simply move it as it is. Note that the previous version also had a cabinet
file named VC813; if you already have this, the PC will ask if you wish to
overwrite it. Say Yes unless you want to keep the original for any reason.
The major changes in Version 2 are:
New main Bitmap and updated instruments
New 2D Overhead panel
Engine indicating system based on interconnected throttle and RPM controls
Introduction of Fuel Trimming
Autofeathering introduced
Fully functioning Deicing, Pressurisation, Hydraulic and Electrical Systems
Manageable Fuel system.
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.
