The Fokker F-100 Twin Jet

[Herman]

I don't recall seeing a V3

Dorel, I haven't had any problems with it. Basically it is the "old" panel, but just with some changes such as to the PFD , MFD , ASI and Altitude Indicator. Herman, I think Dorel calls it the V3 because it's essentially an update, but it's not offically called that.

Yes, I've noticed the changes in MFD, PFD and ASI, they're alot more realistic. But there is no autoland button anymore. I've managed to make the overhead work by adding some of the old gauges, from the original panel. Now I'm working to find a way to combine these different versions in such a way that I can end up with an autoland button and the more realistic instruments of the "more realistic" panel, we'll see...

Yes, that's what I call V3

Hi Dorel, I've checked my panel.cfg, bitmaps etc and see that I did a few modifications to the "new" panel. It's a long time ago, so I'd forgotten about that . I see the autoland was indeed missing and I re-introduced it and made some other small changes. Would you like me to send the cfg file?

Thank you so very much tokolosh..ooor..A I've just finished tweaking and combining the 2 panel versions and its gauges and the end result works super well, I've got the realistic gauges and the autoland feature as well in one panel. I just had to add the gauge titled "Autoland" (or something like that) from the cfg file of the original panel to the cfg of the realistic panel. Now when I go back to the original panel, it looks soooo..lame, makes me laugh the "realistic" one is so much, much, much better, I've been loving this addon till now but now I adore it!! Thank you so much everybody and especially tokolosh for pointing out these upgrades!



I still have to find a way to make the rear bmp work (the one with the seats), as all I get when looking backwards is a black screen.

[tokolosh]

Dorel, looks the way it should! All in all the PF 100/70 is a great package, I think.

Here goes for your rear view:

Under [Window Titles] put

Fixed Window33=Rear

Then under [Views] put

VIEW_REAR_WINDOWS=33
VIEW_REAR_DIR=1.000, 0.000, 178.000

And lastly among your fixed window views put

[Fixed Window33]
file=PF10070-view_rear.bmp
position=7
visible=0
ident=33
render_3d_window=1
nomenu=1
window_size= 1.000, 1.000
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000

Cheers, Albert

Well Albert, it appears you're spying on me, LOL, I do something and then drop by on the forum and see you've written what I've just done; my whole problem with the rear view was that the name of the bmp was wrong, it mentioned a nonexistent file, I just corrected that to read "PF10070-view_rear.bmp", all well now. Thanks alot for all your input, greatly appreciated!
