Panel for 717.

[anderscn]

Hi,

Maybe someone asked about this before - but I have not found the answer.
But what panel would you recommend for the Boeing 717? I guess it would be one of the fine new DC9 panels, but which one?

BR,

Of all thev B717 panels so far publicly available for FS (and there's not a lot of good ones .... it seems) .... by far the very best of these is the "STEVE SOUTHEY" version which I made reference to recently within my "website update explanation notes".

Please read these following details carefully ....

PLEASE NOTE .... at this stage we do not have a B717-200 panel to offer. We do have a project under development, but, will not speculate as to when it might become available. In the meantime .... by far the very best freeware B717-200 panel currently available for FS9 (in my oppinion) is the version by Steve SOUTHEY and which does appear to be compatible with our current B717-200 model and FDE. This panel is available at FLIGHTSIM.COM .... 2 files .... search for the following filenames ....

b712pnl1.zip

b712pnl2.zip

PLEASE NOTE ALSO .... HJG "does not" provide support for these SOUTHEY panel files should you elect to use them. Other freeware B717-200 panel options are also available at both FS.COM and AVSIM.

I'm currently using this particular panel myself .... and it does seem to work basically fine with our models and FDE. I've also edited my own version of this B717 panel with the interior BMP views from our DC9 panels .... which are actually MD80 interior BMP views anyway .... but .... which look and work fine regardless and don't appear out of place in this particular B717 panel.

One of our members does have his own B717 panel project currently in progress, BUT, it's impossible, at this time, to say when this might become available .... and understandably we don't want to pressure for any hasty completion of this particular project.

Thank you for the answer.

I think then that I will wait with this model, until you have developed a proper HJG panel.

But don´t hurry! I have plenty of other models to try out in the meantime

In the meantime .... try the panel I've recommend.

I'm certain you won't be disapppointed .... I've certainly not been as it's the version I continue using myself at the moment.
