SE-210 CARAVELLE 6N panel

[eastern1004]

Fyi / inquiry only, I know HJG can not fix this.

I tried to use the SE-210 CARAVELLE 6N panel at night, I could not find the cabin or instrument panel light switch on either overhead panel pop ups.

Does anyone know if these switches are completely missing, or on another pop up panel?

Thanks

Hi 'eastern1004',

did you read the Panel-documents that come with the panel? It should be described how and where to activate the light for the instruments. I know that the Caravelle-panels have instrument lightings!

I have all the Caravelle planes and panels, and I have read the documentation.

In ALL of the panels the flight decklighting switches are on one of the two overhead pop up panels.

Except this one. As I said.

You can d / l and install and check for yourself, of course - SE-210 CARAVELLE 6N panel

I downloaded the 6N-Panel and found a text-passage in the Documents for the 6N-panel about the instrument-lights:

Quote On:

"For more convenience, the one located in the upper part of the electrical panel will toggle on and off the whole panel lights."

Quote Off


If you want to examine the docs for the 6N again (there's a picture of the light switches), then look at page 44 (p44).

I hope this could help you brighten your 6N-panel at night.

Thank you, indeed I missed that

For more convenience < - - that's the funny part, located differently that every other panel, for convenience

Guess that's why the pilots had to take ground school classes to transit between models

Thanks again

that's the funny part, located differently that every other panel, for convenience

The reason for this is that the panel author wanted to represent as many different types of major CARAVELLE panel layout as was practical.

The CARAVELLE panel options supporting the SE-210-1/1A through SE-210-3 series are mostly "airline specific" .... all of which differed in accordance with airline preference/customization at the time of ordering.

Moving into the SE-210-6 and SE-210-10R/10B1 series .... these panes then take on more of an "aircraft type" rather than airline specific type of customization.

What's represented among all the CARAVELLE panels hosted by HJG is fairly true of the actual aircraft types .... since the panel/gauge author is/was "a CARAVELLE affectionado" .... is the term I think

The original manuals for "each panel" are .... or should be (at least) .... included within each individual panel folder. It's also important to bear-in-mind that "English" is not the panel authors native language too, so, some descriptions may appear contradictory, abstract, or otherwise ambiguous .... just something we have to contend with as we "appreciate" these panels. To assist with this .... and try to alleviate any uncertainties/misunderstandings .... I wrote my own version of "the most important" parts of the original manual/s, but, also from my hands-onn experience flying these simulations too. These instructions are featured within my following "CARAVELLE PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES" posting (our forum based online manual for these CARAVELLE simulations) ....
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/2939/caravelle-panel-installation-handling-notes

My instructions don't explain each individual panel, but rather, focus on the "basic" (only) procedures applicable to each .... since whilst the layout of each panel is "different" (with most details being located in different places or otherwise labelled differently in each panel) the procedures necessary to be understood in order to be able to fly each version (well) remain "relatively standard" .... and are further aided by my own "basic flying guides" for each version located at the conclusion of my PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES manual/posting. Follow these procedures (precisely) and one can't/shouldn't ever go wrong

If you can't find a panel lighting switch .... then either "CNTRL + L" .... or it may be "SHIFT + L" .... one of the 2 combinations of keyboard commands .... will/should activate this ilumination for you .... as I recall.
