1) Uninstall the old panel first. If you have my old v3 or v4 panels:
A) Remove main panel folder.
B) Remove all Rp727_2*.wav's from sound folder.
C) Remove Rp727_2.gau from Gauges folder.
If you have the newer FS2004 panels (uses date code instead of version):
A) Delete the folder //FS2004/aircraft/fsfsconv/panel.b727
2) Unzip using the "use folder names" option to your root FS2004 folder. This zip provides fssound,
overwrite if prompted. This version of FSSound does not require the "old modules" entry to the fs9.cfg.
3) Source code and MSVC++6 project files are provided in case you want to make modifications.
Please note that the panel is designed to work with the Charles Fox air files. Other air files, such as
those that come with your plane, may not work correctly. This is because certain options have to be
turned on or off. I do not have permission to change these files and redistribute them. Areas affected
are usually the autopilot, radios, auto throttle, and engine gauges. There's information in the included
manual on how to edit the aircraft.cfg file yourself to make the panel more compatible. You will most likely
still have problems.
1) Navigate to the aircraft's panel folder and look for the file named "panel.cfg".
2) Right click on the panel.cfg file and select copy. Right click on the same Windows Explorer pane and
select paste. This makes a backup copy of the panel.cfg file in case you don't like this panel and
want to revert to your old one.
3) With Notepad, open up the panel.cfg file. Delete everything, and add these two lines:
[fltsim]
alias=fsfsconv\panel.b727
4) Save the file, and the panel should now be assigned to that particular aircraft.
5) Repeat for each additional aircraft you want to assign the panel to. Or, you can simply copy the panel.cfg
file and paste it to each aircraft's panel folder.
3) Unzip the new air file and aircraft.cfg into this folder.
4) Open up the aircraft.cfg with Notepad and edit the airline callsigns to match your model.
5) For example:
[fltsim.0] <-- edit this, look at the 737-400 for example on using multiple textures
title=B727-200 Vistaliners
sim=cf722v2004
model=
panel=
sound=
texture= <-- edit this if you have a texture.subtexture folder
atc_id=N727AP <-- edit this
atc_heavy=0
atc_flight_number=1123 <-- edit this
atc_airline=American Pacific <-- edit this
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type="727-200"
ui_variation="American Pacific Airways" <-- edit this
