Widescreen 2D Panel for the original FSX Grumman Goose G21A.
by Luiz Alvarenga.
******************************************************************************************
This is a 2D panel for widescreen video monitors.
It was developed and fine tuned in a 2048 x 1152 video resolution monitor but should work as well with similar screen ratios.
CONCEPT
This widescreen concept was elarging the original 2D panel background, by adding a bitmap in the right quarter of the panel.
As duplicate functional gages are not needed (in this case there was only one), the idea was simply complete the panel picture, so most of the work was concentrated in the alignment and matching of details and colors.
In this case also, the radio stack was set to be visible from the start and adjusted to fit in the additional area exactly as show in the 3D panel. As usual you can switch it on & off with the proper panel icon. Note that I left the radio stack in full position when you switch to the upper panel (pressing the W key), but you can always move the radio to a new desired position.
INSTALLATION:
1. Unzip the contents of this file to a temporary directory.
2. Make a copy or rename your "panel.cfg" file which is inside the panel folder of default Grumman Goose (SimObjects\Airplanes\Grumman_Goose_G21A\panel) just in case you want to get back to the original installation.
3. Now copy and paste the contents of the supplied panel folder into the folder of default Goose. Say yes when asked about copying the new "panel.cfg".
4. Please note that the supplied panel.cfg is based in the original FSX file. If you happen to have any additional gages or panel add-ons you will have to make manual adjustments to the file.
5. Enjoy!
