KC-135 and FSNavigator

[qid67]

Hi! I am a pilot in Virtual NATO and have just downloaded your KC-135 to use for Air to Air refueling missions in VNATO. Right now Im flying from Keflavik to Norway, but have a little problem... I am using FSNavigator for Navigation as the K35R actually have FMC in Real life.
The problem is that the panel I found fitting to KC135R (HJG panel for the E3D Awacs) is outdated and have an old Autopilot which makes it impossible to use the aircraft the way I intend. FSNav is able to control the Altitude and Vertical Speed, but nothing more than that. Since I will be using the K35R for air to air refueling on VATSIM, I need to use FSNavigator at its full potential. I need to be able to control Heading, Altitude, Vertical Speed and Speed.

A long time ago I had a good panel for the KC135R which worked with FSNavigator but I can't find it again. I think it was on AVSIM or something. Can someone please help me with this?

Summed up, the problem is that I can't use FSNavigator correctly on the panel I am using at this time. I need FSNav to be able to control the HDG and Speed of the aircraft.

Thanks in advance. Need help fast as Im scheduled to fly a tanker mission for VNATO tomorrow...

Yes, the HJG panel will not be able to use the Autofly a flight plan in FSNavigator. There is an older panel for FS2002 that works with FS Navigator over at Flightsim.Com.

Look for these files and the FIX for it:

John is quite correct !

There has always been a known incompatibility between our current B707/720/C135 panel range and FS NAV.

I doubt that this isssue will be addressed in the future .... BUT THERE AGAIN .... that's entirely up to George CARTY .... of course !
