Help w/ the PANEL ALIAS in the DC-8

[75sevena330]

Hey I am new to HJG and am having a problem w/ the alias.

I do everything its says but it asks me to save. I push ok and all the sudden it say pan/pan.cfg not authorized? Whats going on w/ this?

[George Carty - HJG]

Check that the panel.cfg file isn't Read Only (right click -> Properties) before opening it.

Thanks George !

"75SEVENA330" .... as George has just indicated above, when you right mouse click on that PANEL.CFG .... and if it the "READ ONLY" box is ticked/checked .... then just cancel the tick/check mark .... then go back and do your alias edit and then "SAVE" that as you've already attempted to do.

You should then be OK .... and "READY TO ROLL"

Just as a matter of curiosity .... which DC8 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK PANEL FOLDER have you struck this particular issue with ?

Please let us know !

Just as a matter of curiosity .... which DC8 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK PANEL FOLDER have you struck this particular issue with ?

Well it was the 70 series. All 2 panels.

Thanks guys I just took all the contents of the total panel and put it in the panel folder of the acft, over-witting the alias .cfg and it seemed to work.

I got 2 more questions......
1) Is there a IGS FMS/CIVA INS merge into the panel floating around?
2) Is there any type of Speed Card for V1,Vr,V2, CMS, etc?

Thanks!

OK .... thanks for advising us.

We might need to get someone to look at that later.

OK .... it would have been just as easy for you to just "RIGHT CLICK" on the dowloanded PANEL.CFG .... then "UNCHECK" the READ ONLY attribute/box .... but .... so long as you've got everything working properly then that´s the main thing.

OK First things first .... some of our B707/720 panel range are the only HJG panel equipped with INS. Remember .... not all these aircraft had INS .... and we've tried to go for period accuracy in respect of aircraft types and their systems. Neither our CV880, CV990, or DC8 panels are yet equipped with INS .... but again .... we've future plans to equip at least "some" of these with INS, and again focussing on period accuracy in rerspect of aircraft types.

"If you need an INS system like the DELCO CIVA, then this should be fully adaptable to our panels .... if you know what you're doing in respect of the PANEL.CFG modifications required in order to incoporate it.

The DELCO CIVA INS gauge is downloadable (I believe) from ....

www.simufly.com/

PLEASE NOTE: we do not support the DELCO CIVA INS gauge.

If you are new to our DC8's and their panels then the following data may be considered essential reading .... please refer to my"DC8 PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES" which may be viewed on the "ABOUT HJG AIRCRAFT" forum page.

I have also endeavoured to prepare Similar data too in respect of both B707/720, and CV880/CV990 aircraft .... per my following and similarly extensive postings on this same forum page and which are entitled ....

"B707 PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES"

"CV880/990 PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES"

for V-REF data and the like I additionally recommend you search for (on FLIGHTSIM.COM, or AVSIM.COM) and download the "DC8 PERFORMANCE & LIMITATIONS" documents by Matt ZAGOREN ....

dc8perf.zip

This file contains performance charts for DC8-20, -50, -61, & -62 .... as well as quite an extensive and useful "DOUGLAS DC8 PERFORMANCE & LIMITATIONS" manual.

Additionally again .... Jim HALINDA has uploaded performance data for both DC8-40, 50, & -63 per the following named files ....

dc8perfcharts.zip

dc8manual.zip

All of this data .... plus my own extensive HJG notes should provide you with all you essentially need to know in relation to most DC8 class aircraft (and others) with the exception of the SUPER 70's.

And just going "OFF TOPIC" for a moment in the intersts of being "THOROUGH" .... Matt ZAGOREN also released a "B707 PERFORMANCE & LIMITATIONS" documents too entiltled ....

b707perf.zip

I'm not sure which B707 versions this covers though.

Thanks guys

See I am going to be using the DC-8 for a new ABXAir Holdings VA for ATI/ABSTAR/ABX.... and for at least ATI, they have FMS in them...... so I am trying to go from the current today time. But I see where you are coming from!
